A Beautiful Weddinq.

On Wednesday, March 23nd, at 4:30
o'clock in the First Baptist church,
Rev. N. W. p. Bacon, said the solemn
words which joined the hearts Of two
most popular young people, Mrs. Pearl
r. Hutton and MI, Edward Lucas Bass,
of Russellville. KY.
The church was beautiful in it's deco
~rations, suitable to this loveliest of all
seasons-the spring-so fitting a time
for the contamination Of loye VOWS.
The bride, who is always knowa and
admired as one of Grenada's most artis-
tically gowned women, was never more
80 than in her handsome gray tailored
suit with hat in delicate tints, carrying
in her arms a mass Of loveliest sweet
pease, and wearing as her only orna-
ments q pearl and diamond crescent,
gift of tho groom, and as most a%ppropri-
ate, a pearl necklace, presented by the
groom's family.
Before the ceremony several vocal
selections were faultlessly rendered.
Mrs. G. s. Blackburn Of Memphis sing
ing "All for You;" Mrs. Hubert Calhoon
Of Cofeeville, Because" while Mrs. J.
s. Sharp accompanied them on the Or
gan.
Preceding the bride came Louise Crull
Of Greenwood Al flower girl, daintily
dressed in = lingerie frock and carrying
q basket brimming over with sweet
pease; then to the strains Of the Bridal
Chorus from Lohengrin, came the bride
and groom down n aisle, while down
the other came the ushers, Messrs. Wal
ter and Winston Richardson, brothers
of the bride, Russell Bass, brother of
the groom and r. 81. Gill of st. Louis.
While the sacred words were being
said Mrs. Sharp softly played "Septem-
her,"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bass left on the fve-
twenty train for the north and will be
at home again after April fifteenth.
Mrs. Hutton is a daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. r. Richardson and has for ev-
eral years added grace and charm to the
social life Of Grenada. being one of the
most attractive young women, while the
groom is a very successful travelling
man. representing as he does, one of the
first families of that home Of brave men
and fair women-Kentucky.
The numerous aud handsome presents
fully attest the high esteem in which
the young couple are held wherever
they are known and the Sentinel joins
their many friends in wishing for them
all the JOY and happiness which they
richly deserse.
Among the out-of-town guests were:
Mrs. s. A. Bass, Miss Louise Bass, Mr..
Russell Bass and Mr.. s.. b. Gray of
Russellville, KY, Mr.. and Mrs. @. s.
Blackburn Of Memphis; Messrs. r. II.

AEersed.

Crowley Signal, Sept. IA de-
structive fire was narrowly aYerted at
the home Of Percy 7. Ogden on Eight
street and Avenue I Tuesday evening,
and that only after the family had
lost most Of their clothing. The fire
started il a pile of freshly laundered
clothing Id the kitchen and how It
started is a mystery, The wash
woman had just finished pressing the
clothes and had stacked them up il
the kitchen and gone home. Shortly
after she left Mrs. Ogden, who was ii
the parlor, noticed an odor of burn-
ing cloth and went to the kitchen
where she found the entire stack of
clothing on fire. Fortunately there
was hydrsnt in the kitchen and
Mrs. Ogden and the cook turned d
stream Of water upon the burning
pile and put the FIRE out, but not
until every article of clothing had
been ruined. The loss is about $3.50.

These are the cheerful words Of
General Shafer, the grizzled old war
rior who now commands the Louis
lana Division of the United Confede-

General Shafer was speaking to d
Clarion man, at the Lacombe Hotel,
Thursday night, when he expressed
the above sentiments, and his frank
manner left no doubt as to his sim
cerity.
He had just been told Of the or
rangements, Of the program, and he
was overfoWing with delight.
But, continued the General, II
am not q biz surprised. We ex-
pected just such a reception when
we selected your city as our meeting
place. And I may tell Voa RIGHT now,
you will gotregret your trouble We
are an appreciative lot, We old boys.
And then, is it not d sight worth
