Young-Home Wedding At
Brookhaven, Miss.
Because so many of the par
ties making up the brilliant bri
dal entourage which surrounded
Miss Mathilde Horne of Brook
haven at the nuptial altar on
Wednesday evening when she
became the bride of Mr. Jan
Boyd Young of Newport, Ark.,
a full account of the beautiful
affair has place in these col
umns today, Miss Horne herself
.having many Jackson friends
and almost the entire bridal par
ity counting upon Jackson for
many admirers and friends.
And aside from this the affair
was so beautifully arranged and
carried out with such perfection
of grace that the reader will
doubtless deem it a privilege to
hear the details as given by a
guest.
Miss Mathilde Horne is the on
ly child of Mrs. Marie Brown
Horne, and with her mother has
made her home in Brookhaven,
and, fortunately for all concern
ed, in the Flood home, whence
the bride was married and
where, afterward, an elegant re
ception was held for the enter
tainment of the party and inti
mate friends.
Mr. Young is among the lead
ing business men of Newport,
and counts as his best friends
that town’s first citizens; where
fore is it esteemed safe for her
mother to have entrusted her on
ly child to his devoted care.
The First Methodist church
was the scene of the marriage
and 9 o’clock the hour fixed for
the service, and when that hour
struck, the church was filled to
overflowing with eager friends
of the young people and the
chancel rail and altar were all
hidden from view by the massed
ferns and stately palms, and
with quantities of flowers
from among which myriad wav
en candles lifted among tapers
to envelop the whole scene with
a softened glow and tender ra
diance. When the guests were
seated and awaited the fair
bride’s coming, Mrs. M. T. Flood
sang, “Oh, Fair, Oh Sweet and
Holy,” and when the exquisite
echoes died away, the trium
phant strains of Mendellsohn’s
wedding march sounded forth
and the first of the bride’s at
tendants entered the church
After these came the bride
and groom, the groom entering
from the rear with his best man,
Mr. Adam Lockard, of Newport,
and the bride with her matron
of honor, Mrs. Charles Linam of
Jackson, the two making a strik
ing contrast as they came slowly
down the long wide aisle to
pause before God’s altar, there
to await the consecrating vows.
THe service concluded and the
young lives pronounced as one
in the sight of God and man, the
party left the church in reverse
order, though first there came
the lovely children and then the
bride and groom, and after
these, the matron of honor, the
honor maid came next with the
best man and the entire bridal
party followed, and after leav
ing the church, were driven to
the home of Mrs. Flood, where
they spent a joyous time at the
reception.
Mr. and Mrs. Young took the
11:30 train north for a wedding
journey, and will be at home at

eleven members of the I- W. W.
were scheduled to go on trial
upon charges growing out of
picketing the Rockefeller es
tate.

dead, vcitims of bomb construct

presented. When the trial o
pens each defendant will be
searched for arms, before being
brought into court.
Continuing the search of the
ruins of the tenement today, the
police found an arm and a mass
of flesh in the debris.

of a house one hundred feet
from the explosion, is believed
to be that of Charles Berg,
whose torso was found yester
day.

^ Picnic Plans.
The Sunday School picnic of
St. Paul’s church will be held to
morrow at the sandbar just a
bove the Jacksonport stave mill,
on this side of the river. The
trip to the picnic grounds will be
made on the river, on the barge
Beatrice, which will be anchored
at the bar all day, and the re
turn trip will be made at 6 o’
clock in the evening. The barge
is not only absolutely safe, hav
ing a high railing, but is equip
ped with tables and benches for
picnic parties. A number of
men will be in the party to as
sist in caring for the pleasure,
comfort and safety of the chil
dren. All who intend to go in
the party are asked to meet at
the church at 9 o’clock, sharp
The boat will leave shortly after
that time. It was found inad
visable to go to the White river
bridge, owing to the expense in
volved, and the lack of facilities
for protecting the childern who
might be allowed to play and
wade in the water. The pro
gram for the day includes ath
letic contests, games and bath
ing. The rector and men who
will assist him, will be respon
sible for the children trusted to
their care.
