one Ol the most elaD0rate ana sol emnly beautiful wedding ceremonies that has ever been witnessed in St. Francis county took place in this city on Wednesday evening, November 20, 1910, at 6 o'clock, at the Church of | the Good Shepherd, when Rev Ed | ward T. Mabley, rector, officiating in his usual clear, impressive and happy manner, united the principals and highly esteemed contracting parties, MT. Joseph Eugene Ferguson and Miss Mabel Pettus, of this city, in the holy bonds of matrimony.
 This one great event in their lives looked forward to and hoped for above all things, is the sequel to long, happy and devoted suit in which the heart counselled and Dan Cupid played star part with his bow and darts of love which he shot with unerring aim, and pierced the tender heart of the lovely girl whom the Beau Brummel of this story pur- sued with that ardent devotion which is not to be withstood.
 Cards were issued some ten days ago and since that time the friends of the families have been overwhelming the bride and groom with good wishes and congratulations and both the principals were the recipients of dis tinguished social favors, showers and other tokens of love and esteem from scores of friends on every hand. The wedding presents were especially beautiful and elaborate, and were even then but slight tokens of the high esteem in which these popular young people were held.

H. Alley and Mrs Eiiis Hurley, who may we'll have sur Feyed the whole with entire satisfac. ton.
