HOGAN-McLAIN.
Pretty Home Wedding of Mr. James
C. Hogan To Miss Lettie McLain
Wednesday Evening, Rev.
Jas. H. Brooks Officiating.
At the suburban home of Mr. W. D.
McLain, east of Newport on Wednes
day evening, were solemnized the
nuptials of Mr. James C. Hogan and
Miss Lettie McLain. The invitations
had been restricted to those closely
associated with the families of the
contracting parties and about the per
formance of the rite had been thrown
a simplicity and lack of ostentation,
which was refreshing as well as
beautiful.
Miss Mae Whittaker presided at the
organ, the bride and groom entering
the parlor to Mendlessohn’s march
through the folding doorway and
taking their places before the of
ficiating minister, Rev. James H.
Brooks, beneath an arch of chrysan

bells. The saying of the ceremony
was quite impressive and then came
the congratulations of friends present.
The bride, naturally striking and at
tractive, appeared doubly charming
on this occasion, gowned in white
wearing the veil caught up with flow
ers and carrying an immense boquet
of marschal neil roses.
The lawn had been lighted with
lanterns and the interior of the home
was decorated tastily in chrysanthe
mums, the reception which followed
the ceremony being enjoyed by the
guests present. Ice cream and cake
were nicely served.
The newly wedded were the re
cipients of both beautiful and costly
presents and left that night for their
new home three miles east of New
port. The groom is said to be a
young man of good habits, pleasing
sociability and great determination of
character, whom we congratulate and
wish well in the life for which he has
chosen a helpmeet, whose disposition
and character are such as will doubt
less bring sunshine and happiness in
to his home.
Among the guests present were
Messrs, and Mesdames J. P. Gravitt,
J. V. Ridley, T. S. Stephens, M. M.
Stuckey, L. F. Kimberlin, J. H.
Brooks; Mesdames O. M. Bowen, B.
F. Whittaker, C. Van Pelt, S. M. Mc
Farland, Pearl Foushee, W. J. Knox
and Wm. Snyder; Misses Mae Whit
taker, Myrla Gravitt, Noreene Ridley,
Elvie McLain, Hattie and Ruth Stew
art, Ida Nickens, Janie and Lutie Mae
Stephens, Ida McFarland, Lena and
Hattie Kimberlin; Messrs. Frank
Gullett, John McFarland, Wm. Ma
guire and Rev. Frank Lentz.
FREIGHT DIVISION
REMOVAL CERTAIN.
The freight division will be moved
from Poplar Bluff to Hoxle, Ark.,
about the last of October, says the
Citizen, of Poplar Bluff. This much
rumored change is now an assured
fact. It is also an assured fact that a
train dispatcher’s office will also be
established in Poplar Bluff.
For several years there have been
. .. __ _1__ .. II 1L J- t___ _ 1_1
hitherto they have been suspicious
rather than grounded on any good
basis.
The division will extend from Pied
mont to Hoxie. At the latter place
large and commodious freight yards
have been built and preparations are
being made to build a much larger
round house than the one in use here.
These additions will require about two
months preparation before the
change can be made. It will require
a much longer time to complete them.
Poplar Bluff will continue to be the
passenger division. It will also be a
division point for the Cairo branch.
A chief dispatcher add three assistants
will be stationed here, and all the
heavy eastern freight shipped out by
that line. The recent laying of heavy
rails from here to the Mississippi has
been preparatory to this change.
It «is not expected that these
changes will materially harm the city;
however, hotels and boarding houses
will be the chief sufferers in the mat
ter.
GREAVES SECURED CROWD.
Texarkana, August 27.—Astute Ben
Foreman euchred DaviH and Myers
out of the crowd last night. He had
a large platform erected on one of
the prominent streets, in front of his
building, and there Mr. Greaves ad
dressed an audience of about 1,000,
while Governor Davis and Mr. Myers
addressed about 250 at the court
house.
There was no especially new feature
to Governor Davis’ speech, unless it
was the utter absence of all reference
to Mr. Reese B. Hogins. He denied
the statement made by Myers at
Bateaville, that the Campbell boy,
whom he pardoned on account of his
“good old fat mother and her Bible,”
had again stolen a horse. The gov
ernor said he had communicated with
Mr. Campbell at Dyersburg and found
out that the statement was untrue.
SHOW PASSES THROUGH.
The train carrying Campbell Bros.’
show, passed through here Thursday
morning about seven thirty o'ciock on
its way to Batesville from Augusta.
The train was laid out for several
hours and probably late in reaching
Batesville.
The circus will be here tomorrow
and in order to avoid the 8100 license
imposed by the city, will probably
show outside the corporate limits in
Chastain’s addition. The license for
parade is 825 in city scrip and it is
thought that a parade will be given,
though the advance agents thought of
abandoning it, owing to the high
license required.
K. QUICK DEAD.
K. Quick, a merchant of Jackson
port, who has resided id that com
munity for eight or ten years, died
| Wednesday midnight after a sickness
of several weeks with malarial fever.
The deceased leaves a wife and
children, being about fifty years of
age. The burial took place at Sur
rounded Hill graveyard Thursday.
