Green-SOrrells Wedding Is Quiet Ceremony.

With only members of the immedi- ate families, and very few intimate friends, in attendance, Miss Emma Sorrells and Theodore Maurice Green were quietly married at the Lakeside Methodist church at 4:3O o'clock yes- terday afternoon, the ceremony being said by Rev. w. c. Watson, financial commissioner of Galloway college.
 It was a simple, impressive mar riage service, the ring ceremony be- ing used. Prof. Hermann Hoffnagle rendered Mendelssohn's wedding march as the bridal party entered, after a prenuptial organ selection. Miss Marguerite Hoyle and Sam Bridges were the only attendants. After the ceremony, MT. and Mrs. Green were driven to the station, where they boarded train for Lit tie Rock, to spend Sunday before pro- ceeding to their home at Oklahoma City.
 The bride was charmingly attired in a travelling costume of blue, with corsage boquet of orchids and lilies of the valley. Miss Hoyler wore a suit of green, with a corsage boquet O1 sweet peas dllu l1llco Ol tAc Vd4ICy.
 The bride is the eldest daughter of Judge and Mrs. Walter B. Sorrells, and one of the most popular girls in Pine Bluff, where she was reared. She is member of families promi nent in Arkansas for many years past, her paternal and maternal grandfathers having both served their state as circuit judge, which service her father is now rendering in this district.
 The groom is equally we'll known in Pine Bluff, where he formerly made his home, and where he had occu- pied high position in commercial cir cles. He removed to his old home at Oklahoma City some time ago, and now holds an important position there, where the happy young couple will reside.

DECREASE OF sO5 IN ARRESTS.
Fort Smith, Ark, Years Record Cut
 Revenue &5,285.O5.

Fort Smith, Jan. 22.-There was a decrease of 805 in the number of arrests, with consequent falling off of $5,295.05 in police. court revenue, during 1915, as compared with the preceding year.
 The record of arrests would have been ever more impressive but for the fact that saloon keepers were arrested and fined on an average of three times month between January and August, as a result of the au- thorities adopting that mode of deal ing with them instead of issuing li- censes, as in former years. The city became "dry" in August.
