Attacks Record ef Jeff Davis.
- j
Editor Independent: There was:
a communication in your last
weekly issue from a correspond-j
* ent at Tupelo that had more than ;
a passing interest for me. As :
the new's items from and of Tu
pelo’s growth looked good, and If
had often wondered why the j
happenings in and about Tupelo ’
were not narrated in the county
papers, for it has been made
evident by the communica
tion spoken ox that there was
something doing at Tupelo, and j
if your euphonious correspondent |
had not tri^d to kill too many j
birds with one stone he could ■
have brought to light many other!
items of news which tend to;
show that Tupelo is growing sure
enough, but as I have been made
a party to another cause that he;
sets up, I am forced to deny
myself the pleasure of rehears
ing the creditable achievements
of Tupelo, and apply my words
to my defense.
1 have heard of your cor
respondent N. 0. Budweiser
being in Tupelo several times,
but be has no standing there. I
know he does not enjoy"the re
gard of near as many people as
does I. M. Budweiser. I can re
call several occasions when the
remark was made, ‘‘N. 0. Bud
weiser is in town today,” but
none seemed anxious to meet
him. On the contrary, most of
those who 'were glad to bang
around 1. M. Budweiser would
take a "hop” and skip home:
Mr. Editor, I want to put jocu
larity aside and speak in earn
estness my views upon the
doctrine advanced by N. O.,
whoever he may “B.”
It seems that 1 have wrought
ire in the mind of this supporter
of Jeff, who says he is bound to
him. I’ll venture the guess that
the bonds are not holy.
To think that any one should
have so little perspection that
they could not see and know that
'( aai/1 ahn'IT P.nd Tflvlor
authorizing the organization of
the kangaroo court, and appoint
ing a judge to try Jeff, etc., was
nothing but a canard, a made-up
story, sure enough.
And I mean to say now that
■the penalty, it is said, 1 suggest
ed was not far out of the way,
when account ns taken of the
many assinine episodes that
mark the checkered and fetid
political career ^of the would-be
Jupiter of the politics of Arkan
sas, and the valiant defender of
Jeff is entitled to all the hay
that is left over.
“N1 Q.” need not trouble him
self to furnish affidavits to prove
that I foisted the story upon the
“fellows” at Newport, as I ad
mit the charge.
But I deny the right of “N.
0. ” to preclude me from my say
on political issues in any county
or state in this glorious Union.
Evidently he would do so if he
could, or he would not make the
kick he does about my butting
in in Jackson county polities,
while living in Woodruff county.
He says he could tell of a lot of
things that I say about Jeff and
Senator Berry. He may tell all
1 say about either, but he will
have to show more discernment
than he has shown in his record
ed kick as to the misrepresenta
tions I made anent the kangaroo
court or he will subject himself
to a strong horse laugh.
It is probable that “N. 0.”
has been infused in part, like his
acknowledged master, who be

BRILLIANT CHURCH WEDDING.
Nuptials of Mr. t. L. Boyce and Miss
Hal Phillips Celebrated Wednesday
Evening at Methodist Church.
The tie that binds was solemn
ized in one of the sweetest
and prettiest church weddings
ever witnessed in Newport, in
the marriagcTbf Mr. E. L. Boyce
and Miss Hal Phillips, at. the
Methodist church Wednesday
evening at eight o'clock.
The remodeled church is well
arranged for the decorator and
it could haruiy have been made
more attractive than upon this
occasion, when the color scheme
was pink and white.
Tier after tier of palms and
ferns rose from the altar, mass
ing their beautiful effect in a
mountain of greenery from
which the soft rays from a my
riad of candles livened a sombre
background into the mirthful
and joyous appearance that
should clothe such happy events.
From the choir loft thus hid
den, where Miss Blanche Evans,
the eleven year old cousin of the
bride, presided over the piano,
ran ropes of southern smilax and
English ivy far out over the aud
itorium proper and extending to
the arched side windows.
Over the altar hung an elabo
rately made wedding bell of
bride’s roses touched with green
and for a clapper an. electric
light swung beneath the canopy
to tell its beauty. The color
scheme was well followed every
where and the decorations that
received so much compliment
were the work of Mesdames R.
W. Bandy and J. W. Stayton.
To Mendlessohn’s march, after
“Changeless” had been sweetly
sung by Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse,
the bridal party entered by the
rear door. First the two ushers,
Messrs. F. ?. Skip with and C.
E. Carroll singly via the center
aisles, next the matron of honor,
Mrs. H. E. Cobb, followed by
the groomsmen and bridesmaids
advancing by opposite aisles,
Mr. B. E. Scott and Miss Jose
phine Phillips; Mr. John W.
Stavton and Miss Tillie Sprigg;
Mr. Joseph M. Stayton and Miss
Dovie Erwin; Mr. W. Dunn
and Miss Nell Rhodes.
The maid of honor, Miss Hes
ter Phillips, preceded the bride
upon the arm of her father,
Judge J. W. Phillips, the latter
.being met at the altar by the
; groom and his best man, Mr.
! Alcorn Ferguson, who had ent
I ered from the side door.
| The Episcopal service was im
i pressively said by Rev. R. B.
Willis, the ring ceremony being
! used. The performance of the
rite was assisted in by Rev. M.
B. Umsted.
Mendiessohn’s was again used
for the recessional, the party
1 leaving the church by the left
center aisle.
The bride is a iovely young
woman whose friends willingly
pay tribute to her charms of
mind and heart. Beloved by all,
the graces of her character and
disposition will make happy the
home of him who has won her.
The groom is a popular young
lawyer, and has made a most
excellent administration of the
offices of county clerk and judge.
In him the people of Jackson
have well felt a confidence that
was unshaken, and few men in
public or business life have more
friends.
The Independent wishes them
a happy union through long and
useful lives, that shall redound
to their good name and bless
! them in their daily walk, a liv
, ing exemplification of love and
| right conduct, walking hand in
hand through life.
RECEFT10N AT HOME.
From the church the bridal
party were driven to the Phillips
home, where an elegant recep
tion was held from 8:o0 to 11
o’clock.
The receiving party, which
was composed xi the bridal ar
ty and Mrs. J. W. Phillips, were
stationed in the parlor where the
congratulation? and good wishes
of a host of friends were in many
beautiful w >rds refitting the oc
casion show-red upon the bride
and groom.
The handsome new Phillips
home was resplendent in its
decorations of srniiax, ferns and
palms, with here and there
throughout the nouse huge vases
of fresh flowers which lent their
beauty and fragrance to the
pleasant surroundings.
'The dining room was the cen
ter of attraction, being exqisitely
decorated in pink and green,
nrViipti ivcie tVio prsLir nclipmp
throughout the house. The din
ing table was covered with white
; tulle over pink, with streamers
of the same tulle being run from
! the four corners of the table to
i the chandelier above,
i In this room the guests were
’served with a three-course lunch
eon, consisting of brick cream,
cake, olives and coffee, the col
ors, pink and green, being car
ried out in the favors, ices and
cakes.
I The large reception hall was
' set apart for the collection of
■ wedding gifts, which came from
a score of outside states, and
i presented one of the most daz
j zling arrays of presents ever re
ceived by a bridal couple in this
city, and was a further evidence
of the love and esteem with
which Mr. Boyce and his win
some bride are held.
Mr. and Mrs.Boyce left on No.
6 Wednesday night for a bridal
trip to St. Louis and Kansas
: City.
THE COSTUMES WORN.

been considered one of New
port’s most beautiful girls, never
looked better than on this even
ing in her bridal attire, her cos
; tume being a daintily embroid

I silk, with pomt lace trimmings,
i with -bridal veil, and carried a
