WILMANS-FHILLIPS.
Beautiful Church Wedding Of Mr.
Robert Dorsey Wilmans To Miss
Cornelia Phillips Solemnized
Wednesday Evening At
The Presbyterian
Church.
The popularity and social promi
nence of Mr. Robert Dorsey Wilmans
and Miss Cornelia Phillips, whose
wedding was solemnized at the Pres
byterian church Wednesday evening,
has for several weeks past made
their approaching marriage the chief
topic and anticipation of Newport
society, which revels in weddings
above |dl other events.
The church upon this occasion was
a chapel of flowers and greenery. The
white of the magnolia blossoms and
the pink of roses furnished the color
scheme; and with the green hues of
potted palms, ferns and other plants,
which banked the pulpit and stood out
as a dark background to the livelier
colors of rose and magnolia, com
pleted a most enchanting scene for
the plighting of their troth. At the
ends of the aisles were arches dressed
in flowery garb and before the altar
was a third beneath which the ushers
passed in taking their positions to
right and left of the altar.
Before the entrance of the bridal
party, Mrs. S. R. Phillips rendered in
sweet and touching voice “Oh Promise
Me.” The organ had been placed in
the rear of the church and was pre
sided over by Miss Mary Bailey, who
followed with Mendlessohn’s wedding
rv» n K
The ushers entered by the right
aisle in twos, being Messrs. Owen
Walker and Arthur Bailey, P. H. Van
Dyke and Maury Stevens, William
Parrish and William Sprigg. After
passing beneath the center arch, they
took their positions to right and left
of the altar. Following them came
the groom attended by his brother
Mr. E. B. Wilmans as best man. At
the same time, the beautiful bride,
upon the arm of her Drother Mr. S.
R. Phillips, advanced by the left aisle
to the altar, where bride and bride
groom met.
Rev. L. H. Richardson said the
beautiful Episcopal service, using the
ring ceremony. Simple, sweet and
impressive, the solemnizing of the
marriage rite was all of that and more.
The strains of Mendlessohn’s also
served for the recessional, as the
bridal party left the church by the
right aisle. They were then driven
to the home of Mrs. Narcie Minor for
the reception in their honor.
The bride’s gown was a dainty and
beautiful creation in white silk dotted
net over white taffeta made en train
and trimmed in chiffon and thread
lace. She wore a veil caught up with
pearls and white carnations and car
ried a lovely boquet of bride roses and
fern. The groom and his attendants
wore full dress.
The bride is regarded as one of
Newport’s fairest daughters and up
on this occasion was indeed charming.
Of the brunette type, with a wealth
of dark hair, in her is combined both
* i _ r i_a__ I . l
tuc ui^uxi^ kji oiatDxxxxooo axxu nuccxxxj
demeanor and the vivacity of ex
pressive eyes.
The groom is one of Newport’s
business men, whose future is bright
because in him are the qualities
which win success. He is the
youngest member of the firm of Wil
mans Bros, and possesses the faculty
of making and retaining friendships.
The Independent voices the senti
ment of a legion of friends of this
popular young couple in offering con
gratulations and extending best wishes
for a wedded life, that 6hall ever be
walked in the happiness that springs
unceasingly from a mutual love.
Huffman’s kisses are the best, d.tf
Jno. Welch, of Eight Mile moved to
Newport Thursday to enter the shell
business.
Judge O. W. Scarborough returned
from Little Rock Wednesday, where
he attended the state convention.
Invitations have been received by
Newport friends of Miss May Moss to
her wedding on Wednesday morning,
June 25 at 9:30 o’clock to Mr. Philip
Henry Porter at the Christian church
in Clinton, Kentucky.
WEDDING RECEPTION.
Mrs. Narcie Minor, Sister of Bride,
Receives Relatives and Friends
of Bride and Groom Who Are
Showered With Congratu
lations.
Society was quite agog Wednesday
evening as the beautiful church Wed
ding of Mr. Robert Dorsey Wilmans
to Miss Cornelia Phillips was followed
by a reception at the home of the
bride’B sister Mrs Narcie Minor, given
in honor of the contracting parties, to
relatives of the families and young
lady and gentleman friends.
The home was fairly resplendent
in the Jbeauty of its floral decorations
and the hostess most affable and
painstaking in the care of her guests.
Hardly could a more exquisite func
tion have been planned and only by a
few gifted entertainers could the hos
pitalities of the evening have been so
charmingly dispensed.
In the hallway, the punchbowl
was presided over by Misses No
reene Kinman, Mary Bailey and
Hilda Bailey, who dispensed grace
fully a delicious and cooling fruit bev
erage.
The bride and groom standing in
the bay window of the room to the
right, received the hearty con
gratulations and good wishes of all,
many of the greetings being expressed
in neat and clever compliment, the
offering of esteem and admiration in
which these two young people are
held.
The bridal presents were numerous
and costly, embracing handsome fur
niture, beautiful pieces of cut glass
and lovely silverware, including a
deed from the groom’s brothers to a
pretty cottage on Walnut street,
where the newly wed will begin house
keeping in a few weeks
The dining room seemed a creation
of fairy land, with such taste and art
had the beautiful decorations been
made a part of the scene, which
greeted the eyes of the bridal party,
as they entered \his ,nook of flowers.
The round table with ribbon stream
ers from the chandelier and hand
some bowl of pink and white carna
tions formed a picture of loveliness
not often seen. In these touches of
nature to advantage arrayed by wo
man’s hand, the eye too feasted while
a delicate repast of brick cream, cake,
peppermints and olives was served.
At the plate of each member of the
bridal party lay a bunch of the sweet
carnations, to be carried home pro
longing the enjoyment of this de
lightful occasion.
The cutting of the wedding cake
later in the evening furnished the
young people much amusement, the
ring being found by Miss Mae Smith,
the dime by Lawrence Bailey and the
darning needle by some one, who
still has hopes and refused to tell.
Nothing marred the perfect success
of the reception, which will go down
in the memory of those in attendance
as £a very rescherche and elegant
affair.

DEATH FROM APQPLEXY.
James Maughan Died Suddenly Wed
nesday Evening From Hem
orrhage Of Brain While at
Store Falling Into Arms
Of His Wife.
James Maughan, for three years a
resident of Newport, and a young
man of high character, well liked by
all, died suddenly Wednesday even
ing, shortly before nine o’clock at the
store of Capt. W. A. Joyce on Front
Street.
The deceased had always enjoyed
fair health except slight and period
ical suffering with rheumatism, and
dilfing the day had not complained
of feeling indisposed, though he had
worked harder than usual in cleaning
up the soda fountain. His wife and
baby were at the store, sitting on the
stairway which leads to Dr. Erwin’s
office, when after working on some
prescriptions, he came round where
she was sitting. Suddenly he fell for
wards into the arms of his wife, ex
claiming “goodbye,” just as he lost
consciousness.
Mrs. Maughan called for help and
Drs. Erwin and Coffman, who were
sitting in front of the store rushed
back. They found Mr. Maughan still
alive and administered powerful heart
stimulants, succeeding in prolonging
his life 25 minutes. The respiratipn
improved, when suddenly the heart
stopped beating and the end came
within five minutes.
The doctors attribute his death to
a stroke of apoplexy, caused from
hemorrhage of the brain.
The funeral services will be held
Friday morning at 10 o’clock at the
residence on Hazel Street, conducted
by Rev. L. H. Richardson, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, with which
the deceased affiliated. The burial
will be at Walnut Grove cemetery.
The deceased was 29 years of age,
having been born in Louisville, Ky.,
but this could hardly be called his
home as he was raised in Helena,
Arkansas, where he bore a spotless
reputation as a deserving and mora'i "
young man. There his only im
mediate relatives live, a father and
sister, except his devoted wife and
little baby Charles Hungerford.
Mr. Maughan came to Newport a
bout three years ago, accepting a po
sition as drug clerk under Captain
W. A. Joyce. In the summer of 1900,
he was married to Miss Kate Shelby
Joyce, whose grief is now almost un
bearable. In this sad trial, the sym
pathy of all our people is extended.
The deceased was a member of the
Helena Lodge of the Woodmen of the
World, a painstaking, careful, oblig
ing and courteous business man. His
character was no less graced with
noble traits than his disposition with
laudable characteristics. Moral and
upright, kind and generous, he ful
filled well his duties and obligations
as citizen and member of the family
circle. The world loses ground inHhe
death of good men, but the influence
of character lives on to teach virtue
and rectitude to others.
