FitZhugh.Davis.

The Methodist church on the evening of the 9th was the scene of beautiful and impressive service, when Rev. w. c. Davidson, F. K said the solemn words that united the lives of Rufus King Fitzhugh, of Fitzhugh, Ark, and Lollie Davis, of Forrest City.
 The Cosmos Club, of which Miss Davis is the retiring President, had with loving hands decorated the church in all the glory of palms, ferns and cut flowers. The beautiful edifice never looked more attractive.
 Seats at the front were reserved for the members of the Cosmos Club, an organization which has had the valued membership of Miss Davls from it's in- cipiency. To the familiar, yet ever pleasing strains of Mendelssohn's We'd ding March, evoked from the re- sponsive keys by the skill of Mrs. B. D. Hatcher, the bridal party advanced to the altar, preceded by the handsome ushers, David Davis and R. H. Win- field. Next in order followed the at- tendants, Miss Nathalie Wycough, of Batesville, with Hon. Roy D. Camp bell, of Little Rock; Miss Amanda Da- wis, of Little Rock with MT. Conway Halle, of Batesville; the maid of honor, Miss Mattie Mai Davis, preceding the bride, who entered, leaning on the arm of her father, MT. T. J. Davis. Mir. Carter Fitzhugh, of Batesville brother of the groom, acted as best man, and, with the groom, met the bridal party at the altar, where the VOWS of the contracting parties were consummated. The tender strains of Just to be with You" stole like a dream over the senses while the sci vice proce eded, and when the man of God had pronounced the closing words, the bridal party left the church to the glad notes of the Wedding March from Lohengrin. They went directly to the Hotel Marion where a reception was held.
 The costuming of the party was ex quisite, the gentlemen appearing to ad- vantage in the regulation attire. The bride was gOwned in white embroid- cred chiffon over satin, and carried a shower bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley. The maid of honor wore point d'esprit over taffeta with pink asterS: the bridesmaids. tte same with white asters.
 The party left the same even. ing for points East. including Wash ington, D. c, Old Point Comfort and | Virginia Beach.
 The brides going away gown was a rich shade of blue brocade, made in elaborate shirt waist style, with hat and gloves en suite.
