full play with Southern atmosphere of

Opera House on Tuesday night, May IL,

SOLDIER BOY TAKES BRIDE.
Sergt. Earl Barnard WEEDS Union
- City Girl.

A pretty romance IN which Ear H.
Barnard, of this city, and MISS Lena
Clark, Of Union City, played the lead
ing roles, terminated Sunday afternoon
when the Rev. Edward Watson, pastor
of the Baptist Church at Union City,
performed the ceremony that made
sergt. Barnard the first local soldier boy
to become benedict as result OF the
recent Reelfoot Lake campaign.
When the troops were sent to Reel
foot Lake, Sergt Barnard, Company Il,
Frazier Light Guards, was detached on
special duty at Union City. Here he
met Miss Lena Clark, the pretty Is
year-old daughter of Thomas Clark, a
prominent resident of that place. 1t
soon became evident that Dan Cupid
had taken charge of affairs, and after
Sergt. Barnard had been given transfer
to his home post it was noted that he
was often seen in the thriving little
West Tennessee city. No announce
ment was made of the approaching GER
emony, however, and the wedding came
as surprise to the detachment OF
Memphis troops on duty there.
The groom is a deputy attached to
his fathers court, and the young couple
will be at home to their friends at the
residence, 1862 South Shaw place

ular attaches of the Cumberland Tele-
