Mingle in happy union in the exquisite
perfumes we carry. Scents are as difficult to
blend into harmony as sounds. It takes almost
as high an order of ability to make true per
fumes as is required to write good music.
! No wonder so much of the perfume of
fered is rank, flat and unsatisfactory. If not
wholly pleased with the odors you are now
using, we would like to have you try some of
the delightful ones we handle. Cost you no
3.3- - more than the poorer kinds.

SNETZER-ADAMS.
Nuptials of Mr. Bert Snetzer and Miss
Lee Adams Celebrated Wednesday
Evening At Baptist Church.
June, the month of weddings, at
least a popular one with Newport pil- |
grims to Hymen’s altar, has ushered
in its first troth plighting in the mar
riage of Mr. Bert Snetzer to Miss Lee
Adams at the Baptist church Wednes
day evening.
Magnolia blossoms, studded here
and there upon the walls, while to the
rear and in front of the pulpit, a back
ground of luxuriant palms, ferns and
English ivy, together with a hanging
“8” of elder blossom above the spot
where the vows should be taken,—aP
contributed to a very pretty effect,
the decorations being the handiwork
of Mesdames A. D. Holland and J. E.
Mann.
The church was early crowded with
friends of the contracting parties and
standing room could hardly be se
cured when Mendlessohn’s march,
very sweetly played by Miss Claire
Johnson announced the arrival of the
wedding party.
The ushers, Messrs. Arthur Bouie
and Roy Pace, advanced together and
took positions upon either side of the
altar, followed by Mrs. James Duffer.
Next came the fair bride upon the
arm of Miss Lula Knoles and lastly the
(trnnm fipnnmn;inip,(i hv hlK best 111 til).
Mr. Henry Bragg.
Rev. T. C. Mahan said a brief and
very beautiful service and again
Mendlessohn’s march was used for the
recessional. A reception was tend
ered the bridal party at the home of
the groom and the newly wed left on
the south bound train for a week’s
visit with relatives at Searcy. Shortly
after their return, ihey expect to go
to housekeeping, and they were so
handsomely remembered by their
friends, that there is little left to buy
in the furnishing of a home. The
presents consisted of beautiful furni
ture, silver-ware, cut glass and many
other useful articles.
The bride was lovely in a handsome
crepe de chine made over silk, with
embroidered mouselin and taffeta
moire trimmings. She wore the veil
and carried a large boquet of bride’s
roses.
Miss Lula Knoles, the bride’s maid,
wore a pink crepe de chine with
tucked mouselin and ribbons, over
silk and carried bride’s maid roses.
Mrs. James Duffer, was handsome
in an organdie creation with point de
sprit, liberty satin trimmings and car
ried carnations.
The gentlemen appeared well in
full dress.
The Independent congratulates
and wishes well the young couple,
who have chosen each other for help
meets through life, as the groom is an
energetic and capable young business
man of high character and genial dis
position and the bride a very lovable
young lady, whose refinement, optim
istic temperament and sweet charac
ter make the couple well worthy of
the choicest blessings that fall to
mortal lot. haDDiness and content

DECISION A DOG-FALL.
Judge Fulkerson Announces His Find
ing In License Contest—Jackson
port District Dry—Newport
Wet.
Circuit Clerk J. S. Jones on Thurs
day morning received a letter from
Judge F. D. Fulkerson, stating that he
had fouud the law and the evidence
in the license contest case to be in
favor of the petitioners in the New
port three-mile district or in other
words the license of saloons, while in
the Jacksonport district, he found in
favor of the remonstrators or against
license. He also communicated the
result of his finding to the attorneys
for the saloons and will officially make
his decision in the circuit court here,
July 3. The papers in the case were
also expressed to the circuit clerk.
The case will be carried to the su
preme court as the Jacksonport dis
trict includes the business section of
Newport, in which the saloons are
now located. Should the decision be
upheld, the saloons would be forced
into the residence section of the city,
beyond the limits of the Jacksonport
three mile district. The law was
doubtless never intended to serve
such a purpose and allow one com
munity to force a certain policy upon
another. The enactment was intend
ed to secure local option, but through
this injustice and unfairness, the re
verse is threatened.
