SHIELDS.WORTHAM.

Dr. J. s. Shields and Miss Helen Wortham were married at , o'clock yesterday afternoon at the home of MT. and Mrs. E. A. Rolfe, Rev. s. H. Babcock officiating. The groom is the popular manager of Shields & Go. s drug store, and the bride is charm ing and accomplished young lady of Norfork, Virginia, niece of Mrs. E. A. Rolfe, of this city, with whom she has been visiting for some time.
 The Times makes no mistake when it says this was a notable event in the social history of Forrest City. The business standing of the groom and the popularity of both naturally lend to it greater interest than usually attaches to such occurrences. Dr. Shields has for many years been a prominent figure in the commercial cir cles of our city, than whom no one en- joys a greater confidence or higher es- teem. The bride, while not resident. has been visitor frequently enough to acquaint our people with her many graces of mind and character and has won warm place in the hearts of those with whom she has come in con- tact. She is woman whom any man might well be proud 10 win fdf wife, and we feel assured that she will con- tribute all that good wife can give of loving duty and sweetness 10 the home over which she will henceforth reign. The Times joins wide circle of friends in hearty congrat ulat ions to the newly welded pair.
 The bridal couple left on the 6:22 train for Memphis, where they will spend today, returning home tonight.

I am the last man in the world to wilfully desecrate a grave, en- tertaining as do the most profound respect and veneration for the resting places of the dead. If l have offend ed anyone connected with the Hughes cemetery l am sincerely sorry, and l hereby tender my regrets and apolo- gioe. Respectfully,

SCOTT.ROGERS.

MT. Peyton T. Scott and Miss Julia Rogers were married at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. W. c. Fergu- son, at o'clock yesterday evening. Rev. w. II. Paslay officiating. There were but few guests present. owing 10 the recent protracted illness of the bride. The parlor where the ceremony occurred was beautifully decorated by loving hands, and the surroundings made the occasion one of unusual sol emn1ty and impreSsiveness.
 It would be superfluous to say any thing of either groom or bride. Both have grown to maturity in this com munity, and both enjoy we'll deserved popularity MT. Scott is member of the Fussell-Graham- Anderson Company and a rising young business man. The bride is daugh- ter of Mrs. W. c. Ferguson, one of the most estimable of Forrest City's good women, and young lady of many charms and graces.
 We wish to add our felicitations 10 those so liberally showered upon this worthy young couple, and wish for them every good and and perfect gift that heaven may bestow. We were not privileged to witness the cere- mony but had we been present we would have been the very first of all their friends to lay our hands, heavy with blessings, and invoke for them that bliss which knows no bounds when mutual love and con fidence combine to make life strong calm and peaceful. May the tenderest, sweetest joys be theirs always, and as they walk hand-in-hand down the path of fife may faith and trust guide them ever aright and guard them against sun and storm.
 God bless you !' sweetest song to sing, God bless you!' fondest prayer to pray; And so. with loving heart, I crave
 Gods blessines on my friends today.

The County Fair.

IL was at the county fairs where the embryo politician and statesman dilated upon the splendors and glories of our common country; where the old farmer smoked his pipe, and viewed with the utmost contentment the fat swine and lazy cattle, in their stalls; where the young sports bet their nickles and dimes on fleet foot ed mules and grass-bellied ponies; where the staid capitalist and princely county merchant looked over. under or through his gold-rmmed glasses at big pumpkins, turnips and potatoes: where the town dude exhibited his patent leather shoes and red necktie and where the county swain treated his best girl to goober-pea candy and barrel lemonade. At these annual re- reunions there was happy time for all. But the mercenary age arrived and because these fairs didn't pay they fell through. The greedy, grasp ing, avariciousness of the people turn ed them down, now they have noth- ing to divert them from the common routine of their daily toll from years end to years end, and while they may be possessed of a few more paltry dol lars, they have denied themselves of much that made life worth the living. -Monticellonian

NO RECOGNITION
OF Norway Until European Powers
Take Action.

Washington, d. c., July 2.-It is the
intention of President Roosevelt not to
recognize Norway as an Independent
nation until after Great Britain, France
and Germany have taken similar ac-
tion. He takes the view that recogni-
ton by the United States would not
benefit Norway unless the European
powers co-operated in such a connec-
ton, the question being one of Euro
pean politics alone.
The Norwegians in this country are
bringing strong pressure to bear upon
the President to recognize Norway. A
number of western senators have been
requested by their constituents to as
sist in securing this result. The Presi-
dent will disregard these appeals until
the nations most closely interested
have set the example.

to negotiate and conclude a treaty of
peace, subject, of course, to ratification
by their respective home governments.

COMMUNION
At Trinity Reformed Church Attended
by About 500.

The regular midsummer communion
of Trinity Reformed church was held
Sunday morning. About 500 members
of the church communed. Seven mem
hers were received into the church and
three were baptized. With an attend
ance of nearly 800 at Sunday school
yesterday, all indications are that
there will be big attendance at the
midsummer rally Of the school, which
will occur on Sunday, July 16. Special
effort is being made by the committee
to make this rally a success, since 1t Is
an entirely new idea. Heretofore the
attendance during the summer months
has dropped off, but this year, through
the efforts of the superintendent, Ho-
mer Miller, the attendance will not take
the usual drop. Trinity Reformed Sun
day school was awarded a prize recent
Iy by the State Sunday School Associa-
ton of the Reformed church for hay-
Ing the largest per cent increase in at
tendance during the past three months.
The average attendance of the school
for that period was nearly $50.
