Newport Society Witnesses Another
Beautiful Summer Wedding Cel
ebrated at Methodist Church
Wednesday Evening—An
Elaborate -and Elegant
Affair.
Modern thinkers have found much
in the customs of these latter genera
tions in which to found their belief
and fortify their arguments in sup
port of their contention that all is ma
terialism in this age. In politics they
contend that success is based upon
craft and the intrigues of dem
agogues; in business that manipula
tion and speculation acquire the
fortunes; in religion that ceremony
embraces it; in society that pomp
and show are its pillars, but in the
latter, they fail to appreciate the sen
timent that lies hidden in the cere
mony, the beauty of the thought
which is made alive and effective,
though cloaked in Joral decorations
and the attendant display of some
erstwhile simple rite
Marriage, a cove-.ant ordained by
the Maker of the t aiverse, and hal
lowed by His blessin •; from the crea
tion, is neither a con ract to be lightly
made nor thrust asid and in that it
unites as one the devotion of two
lives, the ceremony ;hat would make
it most beautiful and impressive, best
serves the purpose of these holy
ttavitu onrl a t.ho confimAnt
that receives approval at the altar.
The wedding of Dr. Oscar E. Jones
to Miss Fanny Redman at the Meth
odist church upon the evening of
Wednesday Auguste, was a beautiful,
sweet and impressive ceremony,
elaborate in its conception, but all the
details harmonized in contributing
those ideas suggested in the marriage
rite. , i( /
The church seemed the handiwork
of flower nymphs, i% its wealth of
floral decorations dnft"*ad been ar
ranged with artistic taste. The pul
pit was fairly hidden behind yellow
chrysanthemums, tall palms that
seemed envious of each other, so well
did they loom into view, together
with ferns and other potted plants;
all contributed towards an imposing
background, the stained windows
above being draped in the prevalent
colors. Candles upon pedestals from
which hung vines and greenery, gave
a shimmering light that enhanced the
effect. Beneath the arch W9re hung
the wedding bells, that told the
wherefore of it all.
Promptly at the appointed hour,
8:30, the edifice being filled to its
seating capacity, Mrs. Maude Mar
shall sang very sweetly that favorite
song at such an hour, “Because I love
you,” being accompanied by Mrs.
Wm. O’Neal and Miss Gene Bandy on
the organ and violin respectively.
In the rendition of Mendlessohn’s
march, Mr. E. P. Tatwiler assisted
upon the corn*, the wedding party
entering the church in the following
order: The ushers, Dr. George
Stephens and Mr. John Prewitt, Mr.
Claude Erwin and Mr. John Stayton,
Dr. Owen Walker and Mr. Arthur
Bailey advanced by the right and left
aisles singly, meeting before the
altar and crossing to arrange them
selves upon either side. Following
were the groomsmen and bridesmaids
by the right and left aisles re
spectively, taking their positions in
line nearer the altar and upon the same
sides of the church entered. They
were Mr. Corley G. Price and Miss
Elizabeth Taylor, Mr. Maury Stevens
and Miss Marille Dillard, Mr. Richard
Baldwin and Miss Emma Walkfer.
Then came the flower girls, Misses
Aleen Mosby and Ellen Jones. Mrs.
E. G. Ferrill and Miss Minnie Redman
entered the church singly by the
center aisle. The fair bride entered
upon the arm of her brother Mr. S.
P. Redman, by whom she was given
away and the bridegroom entered
from the left side door attended by
his brother Mr. James L. Jones as
best man.
Rev. J. W. Smith said the ceremony,
the ring service being used. After
the taking of vows and a short prayer
by the officiating minister, the wed
ding party left the church by the
center aisle, Mendlessohn’s march
being used for the recessional.
The bride, a pronounced blonde,
whose style of beauty conforms well
to the making of the “fair bride,”
was indeed lovely in a fairy creation
of blue silk mull, trimmed in duchess
lace. She carried an immense boquet
of bride’s roses, while her veil was
caught up with a sprig of orange
blossoms and her queenly appearance
was further embellished by a hand
some diamond sunburst.
Her sister Miss Minnie Redman,
maid of honor ,was charming in a
white organdie trimmed with medal
lions.
Mrs. E. G. Ferrill of Little Rock,
wore a white organdie, trimmed in
ribbon, and picture hat.
Miss Mattie Walker of Arkansas
City, was gowned in a dainty w’hite
organdie trimmed in Valenciennes
lace.
Miss Marrille Dillard appeared to
advantage in a white organdie, both
lace and ribbon trimmings.
Miss Elizabeth Taylor of Friar’s
Point was beautiful in a white organ
die with leaves applique lace.
Each of the bridesmaids wore a short
veil and long gloves, carrying boquets
of white carnations and the little
flower girls, Misses Ellen Jones and
Aleen Mosby were very pretty in
white dresses with blue sashes.
The groom and his attendants in full
dress were all strikingly handsome
and not a hitch marred the execution
of this elaborately conceived cere
mony.
The two young people who have
bonded their lives to each other, are
too well known in this community for
any words upon our part. Talented,
refined, and with dispositions and
characters that have won them
friends, because of confidence and
admiration they compelled, their
married life offers every assurance of
happiness; and toward the realization
of these hopes, the. Independent
joins with other friends in the most
sincere of good wishes.
WEDDING* RECEPTION.
Immediately following the wedding,
those taking part and a large number
of invited friends, repaired to the
home of the bride, where an elegant
reception was tendered them by the
family of the bride.
The receiving ladies wereMesdames
T. D. Allen, H. R. Palmer, W. A.
O’Neal, C. W. Wood, F. W. Dillard
and T. T. Ward, who were painstaking
and ingenious in entertaining the
guests and making the occasion one
of pleasure to all. Criswell’s orches
tra in the sweet music rendered gave
animation and spirit to the gathering
and thus c< l ributed to the success of
the event
The home was beautifully decorated
in white carnations and the color
scheme of blue and white was every
where carried out. In the parlor
were stationed the bridal party, the
bride and groom awaiting congratula
tions beneath a prettily arranged
canopy of white flowers and blue
drapings.
The many costly and beautiful
presents received by this popular
couple, consisting of the finest pieces
of cut glass and silverware, beautiful
furniture and richly colored rugs, re
ceived no little attention and much
admiration from the invited.
Misses Gene Bandy and Orbie
Arnold dispensed fruit punch upon
the side porch and in the dining
room brick ice cream, in harmony
with the color scheme, and cake were
nicely served. The cutting of the
wedding cake evoked much merriment
at the expense of some and the good
fortune of others. Mr. James L.
Jones found the ring; Mrs. E. G.
Ferrill, the dime; Mr. Maury Stevens,
the penny; Miss Elizabeth Taylor, the
darning needle and Miss Mae Smith,
the thimble.
The reception broke up about
eleven o’clock, and the bride and
groom repaired to their new home on
Hazel Street, where they have begun
housekeeping.
