decorated than with it's brilliant cleo

and the pure, fragrant bridal roses

lovely than in her exquisite wedding
, gown OF soft shimmering crepe me-
teor, draped with simplicity yet ef-

vidual style. The bodice, the dainty
sleeves and the front panel extending
| to the bottom of the skirt were of
rare duchess lace and over her whole
small figure fell the misty folds of
the wedding veil, caught to her hair
with fresh orange blossoms. The
bouquet she carried was fashioned of

FARMERS OUT FOR
 AMENDMENT NO. 10
Initiative and Referendum Gets Most Enthusiastic Endorsement in
 Resolutions Union Adopts.

Jonesboro, Aug. 5-Tha second day of the State Farmers Union met in regular session this morning at the Malone theater, With the usual large delegation present and with the usual enthusiasm. Matters of i'm portance were taken up and discuss ed and resolutions passed with re- gard to the work of the union, but mostly of secret nature, not given out for publication.
 The resolution passed this morn ing endorsing Amendment No. 10 was the strongest yet adopted by any or ganiZation. The state union will go on record as being strongly in fa- vor of the amendment and will use all it's power to place the amendment before the people of the state and if possible to secure it's adoption.
 In the race for state secretary on the first ballot, R. H, Frye led the ticket with 5 votes, afterward the race was between Frye and Payne and resulted in Payne's election by a vote of 6S to 5S. G. A. Cole has been reelected without opposition

COUNTY BOARDS
 OMIT ESSENTIALS
Where Local Board Fails to Include certificate of lndigency, State Pen
 sion Board Must Reject Pension
 AppHcant-Many Want Increase.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 6.-That the county pension boards should exer- else greater care in the matter of approving applications for admission to the Confederate pension roll, and that such care would facilitate the ac- tion of the State Board of Pension Commissioners, is the emphatic opin- ion of member of the State Board.
 His observations were prompted by the fact that this year numerous ap- plications have come in from county boards approved when the eertifi- cates required by the state pension law and which must accompany the applications do not indicate whether or not the individual whose applica- tion has been approved is even in n- digent circumstances.
 "The facts may be clear enough to the county board,' said the state board member, "and the county com missioners may know of their person al knowledge that the applicant is in- digent and entitled to be placed on the pension list But, in examining for approval the lists of applicants from 75 counties, the state board car not reasonably be expected to have such personal knowledge. The con sequence is that when we come to ap plications approved by the county boards, but unaccompanied by tht certificate of indigency, we have nt recourse but to turn such application. down."
 The state board is working almos day and night on the lists from tht various counties, but it will be al least the middle of August before i can complete it's task. It is stated that, while the number Of appllca' tions for admission to the pension rolls does not appear to exceed tha'
 of former years, the number or ap- ! plications for increased pensions os those already on the rolls is mus ! ually large this year
