Case-Ferguson Wedding.
High society in Augusta was
awakened this week from a lull
of events to celebrate the nup
tials of one of its most beauti
ful and charming members.
The romantic meeting which
proved to be “love at first sight” j
of Miss Willie Ferguson and Mr. I
Hubert Case occurred last July,
when Miss Willie was attending '
a House party of merry girls at ;
Heber Springs.
Mr. Case is a prosperous and
energetic young business man 1
of Ruddles, Arkansas, being a
member of the enterprising!
firm of that place, and son of
a leading planter and banker of'
Independence county. His'
mother is of choice Woodruff j
county stock, being the daugh-!
ter of Mr. and Mrs. William !
White who number among our
worthy pioneer planters
Miss Willie is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Ferguson
and comes of aristocratic line
age. She has been carefully ed
ucated and is competent to be
the helpmate of her substan
tial husband as well as adorn
his home. She is a brilliant pi
anist and has a loveable charac
ter.
' The spacious parlor of the
Ferguson colonial home was
tastefully decorated in pink car
nations and ferns. Festoons of
green vines and flowers banked
the fireplace and mantel before
which the ceremony was per-;
formed. The grand piano ser- j
ved as a pedestal for a tribute!
of posies. The chandelier was
gay with garlands. Mrs. Shoup 1
in clear sweet tones svmpathet-1
ically sang “My Dear.” j
The expressive wedding march I
by Mrs. Mason announced the,
entrance of the wedding party, j
Miss Ruby Ferguson in becom- j
ing costume of blue, carrying ^
Bridesmaid’s roses and attend- j
ed by Mr. Boliver Conner, pre
ceded the ringbearer, pretty lit
tle Virgina Campbell in fairy-,
like attire. j
The bride and groom made a j
handsome couple. The bride
wore a traveling gown of hand
some toque colored broadcloth
and a becoming hat to match, j
which enhanced her beauty.
The groom in conventional
suit and manly bearing seemed
proud of the part he bore in the
ceremony.
Mr. Wilcoxon made the cere
mony impressive and beautiful.
Among the many presents was
a minature house on a green
lawn with horse and buggy in
waiting, given in commemora
tion of the eventful Heber trip
by the “Augusta bunch.” |
The bridal party left on a wed
ding trip. * *
We wish for them an unques
tioning faith that knows neith
er separation of heart nor divis
ion of life.—Augusta Free j

A Correction.
Friday’s paper states that
Jackson County’s exhibit for
the State Fair had been shipped
and that I would follow Monday
to take charge and exploit the
same. As a matter of news,
this is good, but is a surprise to
me as I did not know that this
county had an exhibit for the
Fair this year- I had intended
to make up a creditable exhibit
with the assistance of others
who are interested in our coun
ty, but was politely and firmly
informed that there had been
another who was more used to
riding on the plush seats of the
chair car, and better fitted to as
sociate with the curly headed
stock and prize pumpkin, who
would take charge.
Please correct this item as it
is merely a Laurel street rumor
and a “Fox Pass” on the part of
your Reporter.
Jackson County will not be at
the State Fair this year.

Revival Services at the Chris
tian Church.
The subject of Mr. Taylor's
discourse Friday evening was
“Witnesses for Jesus, or Some
I of the Proofs of His Messiah
jship.” “There are many ways
to prove his Divinity, one of the
| best ways being to examine into
His wonderful influence over the
world." so said Mr. Taylor at
the opening of his sermon.
“Wherever the story of Jesus is
told,” he continued, “there re
sults civilization and good gov
ernment, and without exception,
jthe reverse is true of non-Chris
;tian lands. Superstitution and
I ignorance hold the minds of the
people who are without Christ.
There is no other way to account
for the influence than because
of His Divinity. A peep into the
that ha eebun r h__civoseiiant 1
that has been used for centuries, j
a proof too, that stands without1
argument to the one who has j
made investigation, for as some
one has said, “The best buttress
ed fact in the universe is the
ressurrection of Christ.”
These arguments we will
sweep aside for the ones that
Jesus used. The words of the
Savior John records in his Gos
pel, chapter 5, verses 30-42. I
will call attention to the proofs
found in this scripture that the
young people may know’ how
firm a foundation is laid for
their faith in his excellent word.
Jesus said: “Ye sent to John and
he confessed, ‘I am not the
Christ. I am the voice of one
crying in the wilderness—I am
not the light. Behold the Lamb
of God,‘which taketh away the
sin of th'e world.” Strong and
splendid was this testimony of
John
Again, His works testify.
Marvelous things he did! Heal
ing the sick, restoring sight to
the blind, unstopping deaf ears.
Two incidents stand out in spe
cial prominence. Stilling the
tempest on Galilee was one. Be-,
ing human as well as Divine,
Jesus was weary, and was
asleep when the storm arose.
He said, ‘Peace, be still,’ and the
tempestuous waves ceased their
tossing. ‘What manner of man
is this,’ said those who heard
him, ‘that the winds and the
waves obey Him!’
Dr. Theodore Parker has ex
pressed the thought thus:
‘The wind arose, there was a
great storm;
Christ arose, there was a great
calm.'
Another of the works that
testify of Jesus’ Divinity i- the
Raising of Lazarus. When Je
sus found that the young man
had died. He said. “1 am glad to
the intent that you might be
lieve," because He knew His own
power even over death and the
grave. Jesus rebuked lack of
faith with these words, “S^iid I
not unto thee, if thou wouldst
believe thou mightest see the
glory of God!” Jesus let the dis
ciples roll away the stone from
the tomb of Lazarus. They had
done what they could, then the
mighty Man of Galilee came to
their aid. ‘Man’s extremity is
God’s opportunity.’ When at
the behest of Divine power the
dead man has arisen again the
disciples are called upon to do
that which is possible for them.
“Take ye away the grave
clothes,” the master commands.
Leaving the wonderful works
of Christ, we go to the testimony
of the Father. Jesus said, ‘and
the Father himself, which hath
sent me, hath borne witness of
me.’ At the baptism of Christ
we see the Spirit descending up
on him in the form of a dove,
while the Father testifies, ‘This
is my beloved Son.’ Again at
the Transfiguration there was a
like testimony from God, with
this injunction added: “Hear
him.”
“Search the Scriptures; they
are they which testify of me.’’
The Scriptures testify of His
nativity, of the tribe, of the
land and of the city from which
he should come. The 42nd chap
ter of Isaiah prophecies of His
Mission,—of the works he
should do; how he should make
the lame to walk, the blind to
see, and so on. How splendidly
did he measure up to Isaiah’s
record! Furthermore the
Scriptures testified as to the
manner of His crucifixion. The
53rd chapter of Isaiah though
written hundreds of years be
fore His death, minutely de
scribes every detail of his suf
fering on the cross.
And at the crucifixion nature
testified of His Divinity. ‘The
earth did quake, and the rocks
rent.’ The sun was darkened
also.
‘Well might the sun of glory
hide
And shut his glories in,
When (lod’s own Si in was ci'iici
fied,
I'or man, t he creature’s sin.’
1 he above is only a rough out
line o!' Mr. 1’aylorY. splendid ser
mon. I'here will be preaching
again tonight at 7:30. Also
Sunday morning and evening
You are invited to all these ser
vices.
School Literary Society.
A good sized audience was
pre-'-’W at the high school audi
torium Friday evening and en
joyed very much the literary
program rendered by the high
school pupils.
Following an address by Prof
Williams, also musical and read
ing numbers, a debate on Wom
an Suffrage was “argued”. Miss
Willie Overton Minor, Will
Childers and Murray Harris
represented the affirmative side
of the question, while Frances
Bailey, Robert Harris and Al
len Martin were opposed U
“votes for women” and by *
large margin were the winners.
S. R. Phillips, Frank E. Ruck
and Mrs. W. J. Crossland were
very efficient judges and gave
the honor to the opposing side
of the very important question.
Letter to Mr. W. Y. Armstrong,
Newport, Ark.
Dear Sir: Mr. Frank Robin
son, Titusville, Pa., bought Le
vee with a good deal of feeling
against the whole tribe of mix
ed paints. Our agents there,
Messrs. Kernochan & Co., got
i him to do it. He says:
I am more than pleased with
; the job. I had one-third of the
[paint left over. I know of sev
eral other jobs, a year old or
more, painted with DeVoe, that,
are wearing well.
What a pity we have to all go
through the same school, to
find out what paint to put on
a house! Experience teaches.
Isn’t there any easier way to
learn? Yours truly,
F. W. DeVoe &Co.,
