O’NEAL-BANDY.
Church Wedding of Mr. William A.
O’Neal and Miss Lucile Bandy,
Solemnized Thursday Even
ing at Methodist Church
a Beautiful and Elab
orate Affair.
Mr. William A. O’Neal and Miss
Lucile Bandy were married at the
Methodist church in this city Thurs
day evening July 10, 1902, at 8:30
o’clock. The wedding was the most
elaborate of the season and the
church auditorium and gallery
were filled to their seating capacity
with friends of the contracting par
ties.
Hardly could a more enchanting
altar scene be sketched by artist’s
brush than greeted the eyes of the
invited. Within the chancel, palms,
ferns and other greenery completed a
dark background against which the
lighter colors of pink roses gave a
very pretty effect. About the chancel
railing, vines and roses hung in a
manner pleasing to the eye and in the
center, immediately to the front of
the pulpit, a canopy of white and
green floral decorations marked the
spot where they should soon plight
their troth.
At the appointed hour, Miss Claire
Johnson rendered Mendlessohn’s
march, the attendants of the groom
entering by the west door and the
bridesmaids bv the main entrance.
proceeding singly to the center aisle
and thence to tne altar by twos, where
they took their places upon either
side. Little Miss Aileen Sanders, the
ring bearer preceded the other at
tendants, then Mr. J. B. Daggett and
Miss Hester Phillips; Mr. John W.
Stay ton and Miss Jett Hamilton; Mr.
Lockard Bandy and Miss Dovie Erwin;
Mr. Frank Gullett and Miss Mabel
Stayton. The groom entered by the
right aisle attended by Mr. Alcorn
Ferguson while the b "de, preceded
by her sister and maid of honor Miss
Neill Bandy, approached the altar
from the left aisle upon the arm of
Mr. J. P. Huddleston.
Tha taking of their vows and the
saying of the service, in which the
ring was used, was very pretty and
impressive, Rev. J. W. Smith, pastor
of the Methodist church officiating.
During the service, “Always” was
softly rendered upon the violin by
Miss Imogene Bandy, accompanied by
Miss Claire Johnson upon the piano,
both playing Mendlessohn’s for the
recessional. The wedding party left
the church by the center aisle, re
pairing to the home of the bride,
where they received friends and con
gratulations.
The bride, of the fair Saxon type of
beauty, with the clearest of skin and
eyes that would rival the skies in their
perfect blue, was truly a picture of
beauty in a handsome taffeta and
mousseline de soie, trimmed in ribbon
and wearing a veil, which was caught
up with pearls and a bunch of roses.
She carried a pretty boquet of bride’s
roses and ferns.
Miss Neill Bandv was verv becom
ingly gowned in a white organdie
over pink taffeta and carried brides
maid roses.
Miss Hester Phillips wore a white
organdie over white silk, trimmed in
ribbon and carried sweet peas of
pink and white hues, in harmony with
the color scheme as did all the brides
maids.
Miss Jett Hamilton was very at
tractive in a point desprit over silk
trimmed with lace and mousseline.
Miss Dovie Erwin was both charm
ing and beautiful in a white organdie
creation over silk, trimmed in lace
and ribbon.
Miss Mabel Stayton was pretty in a
white mousseline over silk, with lace
and ribbon trimmings.
The groom and his attendants wore
full dress and their handsome ap
pearance contributed to the general
effect and beauty of this notable
church wedding.
The bride is a very popular young
lady, accomplished and cultured,
whose character and graces of dis
position make it a most fitting time to
offer the groom congratulations upon
having won so lovable a helpmeet. Mr.
O’Neal is the son of Mrs. M. M.
O’Neal of Augusta, a young gentleman
of industry and business capability as
well as social gifts.
The Independent congratulates
the groom and joins with many others
in wishing for the united twain lives
as happy and useful as the taking of
their vows has been auspicious.
WEDDING RECEPTION.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. R. W.
Bandy on Main street was the scene
of quite a gathering of Newport so
ciety upon Thursday evening, follow
ing the marriage of their daughter
Miss Lucile to Mr. William A. O’Neal.
The yard was lighted with Japanese
lanterns and upon the porch, Misses
Imogene Bandy and Katie Bishop
presided with grace and ease at the
punch bowl, from which a very re
freshing fruit beverage was served.
The interior of the home was beau
tifully decorated in pink and white
roses and sweet peas, the bride and
groom standing in the bay window of
the parlor to receive the congratula
tions and greetings of perhaps a hun
dred friends, who attended the re
ception.
In the dining room, ropes of vines
hung from the center of the ceiling
immediately over a mammoth fern,
to the four corners of the room, made
this scene beautiful even above the
others. The color scheme was carried
out in brick cream of pink and white
layers, which with assorted cake
made very dainty refreshments.
Mr. and Mrs. O’Neal were the re
cipients of preseiits too numerous to
mention, embracing many pieces of
cut glass, pretty silver service and
articles of furniture. The grooih’s
brother, Mr. Minor O’Neal has fitted
their kitchen from a steel range down
to every necessary article. The re
membrances of friends prove in what
high esteem the young couple are
held and will go far towards furnish
ing their home on Ash Street, where
they will be at home after a visit to
Augusta.
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Bandy received
most cordially and with the assistance
of several ladies made the evening
pleasant for all present.
Mrs. Bandy was handsome in a black
lace over taffeta and wore white
roses.
Mrs J. P. Huddleston wore a beau
tiful crepe de chene over silk, and
diamonds.
Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse was dressed
in a very becoming pink organdie
over silk, with pink roses.

trimmed with lace and ribbon.
Mrs. Joe Graham of Tuckerman,
grass linen over blue taffeta silk,
white roses.
Mrs. J. L. Kennedy, light blue mull
made over silk and wore white roses.
PARTY OF PICNICKERS.
The p ,.ty of picnickers, who spent
Thursday on the banks of White river
below the bridge, returned quite en
thusiastic in their accounts of the
pleasures of the day.
Mrs. 'J. L. Sells chaperoned the
crowd and so ingratiated herself with
the members, that the summer
months will keen her busv serving in
this capacity if she accepts all the in
vitations that are likely to fall to her
lot. The baskets were an important
item and were not overlooked by the
pleasure-seekers.
The party was composed of Misses
Janie Stephens, Josie Phillips, Katie
Price, Jessie Lindley, Ruby Black
wood, Blanche Stallings and guest
Mayme Dyer, of Vicksburg, Miss.,
Tillie and Clara Sprigg, of Searcy;
Mrs. J. L. Sells; Messrs. T. W. Dillard,

EVADED LYNCHING PARTY.
Lawrence County Aroused Over Brutal
Outrage of J. J. Bryan’s Little
Daughter— May Convene
Special Term of Court.
Hoxie, Ark., July 10.—The 9-year
old daughter of J. J. Bryan, cashier
of the bank and postm aster at Black
Rock, was criminally assaulted on
Tuesday by a negro, who was arrested
and removed to the jail at Powhatan.
A party of 100 citizens went to the
jail Wednesday night for the purpose
of lynching the negro, but Sheriff Mc
Call slipped him out and took him to
some place not revealed to the public.
The deed has caused intense excite
ment and should the miscreant fall
into the hands of the incensed popu
lace his fate would be speedy. Judge
Fulkerson will probably call a special
term of court to try him.
RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
The $30,000,000 mortgage of the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad
Company to the Girard Trust Compa
ny, dated May 1, 1902, was filed Thurs
day with the Pulaski county circuit

of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain,
accompanied by his family, passed
through the city Wednesday evening
en route to St. Louis from Hot
Springs, where they have been spend

Control of the St. Louis, Kansas
City & Colorado Railroad and the
Gasconade Construction Company,
which is building the western exten
sion of the line, passed yesterday to
the Rock Island interests, which re
cently purchased the property from
the Francis-Scullin syndicate. W. B.
Leeds was elected president of the
road in place of John Scullin, who re
signed.
*

The letterheads of the local officials
at the general offices of the Choctaw
have printed across the top the words:
“Rock Island System” in a type
smaller than the name, “Choctaw,
Oklahoma & Gulf Railway,” which
stretches across the letterhead. This
is about the only thing to be found in
Little Rock which would intimate that
the Choctaw had passed into the con
trol of the Rock Island. The cars and
locomotives still bear the inscription,
“Girard Trust Company, Philadel
phia, Owners.”—Little Rock Gazette.
