 Girls.
Bride and Groom go to San An
 tonic on Wedding Tour.

One of the most beautiful and im- pressive home weddings ever witness ed in Newport, occurred there on Tuesday afternoon at o'clock, in the home of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. k. NJ. Laird, where their lovely and accomplished daughter, Miss Mary Elizabeth, became the bride of MT. Thomas Clarence Folbre, Jr., prominent young business man of Forrest City.
 The lovely home was beautifully and profusely decorated with the seasons choicest flowers; the rooms darkened and illuminated with in- candescents and wax tapers, thus creating very pretty and enchanting effect, and giving to the surroundings soothing, quiet and impressive calmness which added beauty to the solemnity of the occasion.
 The bride wore lovely afternoon gown of coral pink silk, with hat to match, and entered leaning upon the arm of her father. The groom wore handsome suit of black, made in the late double breasted Prince Albert stylesin which he looked stunningly handsome. He was accompanied by his longtime friend, Mr. Malcolm Semmes, of Memphis, who acted as best man.
 As they entered the parlor, the sweet strains of Mendelsohn's we'd ding march tioated softly in the air, and was rendered by Mrs. Ed Will mans, sister of the bride. Miss Randy rendered two appropriate vocal selec- tions in fine voice, and Rev. M. B. Umsted, formerly presiding selder of this district said the beautiful ceremony of the Methodist church, which made of the happy twain, one flesh.
 The wedding was very quiet affair, owing to recent bereavement in the family and only the family and few very intimate friends were present. There were no cards, but many hand- some and costly presents were re- ceived.
 After the ceremony and congratula- tions the bride changed her wedding gown for travelling dress of gray, and the happy couple left on the o'clock train for San Antonio, where they will spend week or ten days, and visit with MT. Hubert Folbre, brother of the groom, who resides in that city. They will return about the 10th, inst, and will probably be at home temporarily at the residence of the groom's father.
 The brideis one of Newport s fairest and sweetest girls-a womanly wo- man, of many beautiful traits of character, who is loved by a large circle of relatives and friends for her sweet disposition and happy, bright and vivacious demeanor.
 The groom is the eldest son of Judge T. c. Folbre of the county court, and succeeded to his fathers business on Washington street few years ago, and has since prospered and has lucrative patronage. He is director in the Bank of Eastern Arkansas, and young business man of ability and enterprise, who is also genial, and his friends are legion.
 MT. and Mrs. A. J. Vaccaro attend ed the wedding, Miss Laird having recently been lovely guest in their home, where the groom first met and loved her.
 The Times desires to join the rela- tives and host of friends in hearty and sincere congratulations and best wishes. May their lives be long and happy, may their purse be always full, may their health be fine and dandy, may they together always pull | HoW's This?
