NEW YEAR’S DANCE.
_
The annual New Year’s dance given
I by the Newport Club chanced to fall
this 37ear upon a rainy and gloomy
night, but within the club rooms, bril
liantly lighted and made beautiful by
the decorator’s art, an atmosphere of
gayety and pleasure held sway that
made one doubly appreciative of the
good cheer within. Strains of en
chanting music too contributed to lull
into forgetfullness all thought of the
night without.
Saxby’s orchestra of four pieces
from Memphis was secured for the
occasion, the musicians being hidden
from view by great banks of potted
palms and other plants.
The other decorations used to pretty
effect throughout the rooms were of
holly and mistletoe.
The german proved a favorite dance
throughout the evening and early
morn, for several of the “wee sma
hours” had been'gathered unto those
of the evening before the dance was
ended and the company repaired to
Bracy’s cafe, where an elegant spread
served in courses had been pre
pared.
The menu was as follows: Blue
points; lobster salad, pickles, celery,
olives, salted almonds; turkey, cran
berry sauce, French peas, sliced ham,
Switzer cheese, coffee; brick cream
and cake.
Those present were Misses Roberta
and Nannie Morrison, Mary Laird,
Mabel Stayton, Lucile Taylor, Jamie
Irby, Lula Wolf, Gene Bandy, Hester
Phillips, Lou Minor, Noreene Kinman,
Mary Bailey. Claire Johnson, Mes
dames W. A. O’Neal, T. D. Kinman
Jr., Messrs, and Mesdames J. L. Sells,
F. Price, J. O. Taylor, M. M. Stuckey,
Messrs. L. Minor, S. M. Stuckey, B.
W. Stainback, A. G. Anderson, Geo.
W. Decker, H. Bernstein, R. Topp,
J. M. and J. W. Stayton, Claude Er
win, H. O. Nouss, Alcorn Ferguson,
F. P. Skipwith and E. L. Boyce.
The out-of-town guests were Misses
Esther Neill, Rena Fraley, Mollie Duf
fey, Capts. Ernest Neill and Reed

SIMMONS-TAYLOR.
Mr. Ben F. Simmons and Miss Lula
R Tavlrvr were married Wednesday
afternoon at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bud Taylor of
Tupelo. The officiating minister was
Rev. Mr. Toombs, pastor of the Meth
odist church of Tupelo.
Following the wedding, a reception
was tendered over a hundred friends
of the contracting parties at the home
of the groom, hours from five to eight
o’clock. All seasonable delicacies
were embraced in the dinner, the
boards fairly groaning with the good
things that made up this elaborate
spread, to which the invited did am
ple justice.
Those in attendance upon the wed
ding and reception from Newport
were Messrs. E. L. • Boyce, Alcorn
Ferguson, G. A. Htllhouse, Henry
Owen and Park Deaderick.
Jackson county hardly contains a
more popular man than Mr. Ben Sim
mons, who has just retired from the
office of assessor. The bride is said
to be a very pretty and charming
young lady and we congratulate the
groom and wish the newly married
a roseate pathway through life.
HOPE TO HAVE SALOONS.
Hope, Jan. 1.—For the first time in
six years Hope will have open sa
loons. Godfrey & Co., H. Kahn,
Ward & Key and perhaps others will
take out license. The prehibition
party used every effort to prevent it,
but so far have failed. They present
ed a petition with about 800 names
and subsequently two more petitions
to County Judge Gibson. He ruled
that only the first petition would ob
tain and as that was inadequate he
granted license. The prohibitionists
will take the matter to a higher court
before giving it up.
NEW YEAR BANQUET.
Brinkley, Ark., Dec. 31.—The great
holiday event in the fraternal circle in
Brinkley was the New year banquet
given by Chandas Commandery last
night. The program was as follows:
Address of welcome by T. H. Jackson,
E. C.; response by Frank Hill, R. T.
E. C.; “Templarism,” by D. 1. Mills,
P. Rt. C.; “The Novice,” by Sir Knight
Thomas M. Fletcher; “The Ladies,”
by Sir Knight C. F. Greenlee. The
banquet table was set in the opera
house. The table and room were
prettily decorated. An excellent va
riety menu was served. Many prom
inent out-of-town members attended.
