FUSSELL-TA YLOR NUPTIALS.
Beautiful Wedding Ceremonies
Joining Two of the Most Promi
nent Families in Eastern
^ / Arkansas.
All Forrest City and many friends
in other cities and towns have been
upon the tiptoe of eagerness to witness
the ceremonies which would unite in
the holy bonds of matrimony, Miss An
nie Fussell, the beautiful and charm
ing elder daughter (f Uapt. .fames
Fussell, of this city, to Mr. Edward P.
Taylor, eldest son of the late Hon,
George P. Taylor and wife.
The names of George P. Taylor and
lames Fussell are as familial in East
ern Arkansas, and they are generally
known throughout the state and in oth
er stale*, as those of any private citi
zen in Arkansas. Hon. George P. Tay
lor represented this county in the leg
islative halls, and was a leading demo
crat and counsellor of bis party. Capt.
James Fussell has been prominent in
local politics for more than twenty
years, and is now the treasurer of the
St. Fiancis Levee Hoard, the President
of the Hank of Eastern Arkansas, and
a capitalist of wide repute.
Invitations announcing the date of
the maniage (if Mr. Edgar P. Taylor
to Miss Annie Fussell were issued two
weeks ago, and upon every tongue has
bum a good wish, and in every mind h
pleasing thought of their Illness for
each other, and the geniality of the
u a'ch.
Time passed slowly to their legion of
friei ds, but the day and the hour
thereof catne at last, and on Wednes
day evening as the c ock in the s'eeple,
struck six, tlie* hu g line of carriages
were seen to start from the Fussell
home for the pretty little Church.
The ceremony, one of ttie prettiest
we ever listened to, was said by Rev
1*. 11 Hensley, in the 1’iesbyteriau
church, and was so beautiful and im
pressive, that one could not help be
lieving it one of God’s own institutions
for the happiness of mankind.
The wedding party arrived at and
enterered the church in the following
order:
Ribbon Girls: Little Misses Helen
Nichols Virginia Norton, left aisle:
Allyne Roll wage. Louise Rarnes, right
aisle.
Ushers: Messrs T G. Parham and
Henry Euart.
Attendants: Miss Ida Mae Wills, of
Memphis, and Mr. James Gilliam:
Miss Tolise Roll*age and Mr. R. H.
Wintleld: Miss Louise Gatling and Mr.
J. S. Shields] Miss Nannie Tay 'or and
Mr. Frank Rabcoek; Miss Ruth Hatch
er and Mi U E. Ihilmer.
Maid of Honor: MbsSaiu Riughim.

; lier father.
d'lie attendants formed a line to t’ie
right and lett of the chancel, ladies on
the right and gentlemen on the left,
and as the bride faced the minister, she
was met by the-groom, Mr. E 1*. Tay
lor, leaning upi n the arm of his best
man, Mr. H. A. Knight. The cere
mony was then spoken which united
two loving hearts as one flesh "so long
u3 they both shall live,’’
Mrs. Catling ptesided at the organ,
! nd as the bridal party entered, ren
dered the immortal Wedding March of
Mendelssohn. During the prayers
i had ceremony, the sweet low strains
<>f the Romance—Call He Thine Own,
| — floated over the congregation. The
receesior al was Lohengrin’s Wedding
*! uch. F tch number was faultlessly
Hindered, and added great charm to the
I occasion.
Alt-r the ceremony the Fussed home
was thronged with the friends of the
•huh contracting parties, and congratu
dions and many good wishes were ex
tended them. T he wedding cake was
jcut, and Miss Nannie Taylor was so
fortunate as to draw the ring, indicat
1 gthat she would be the next of the
baity to be married. Other guests
were delightfully served with dainty
iftieshmerits, and the exquisite array
I bean* ful, rare And expensive gifts
weie viewed wi'h much interest and
«».ea>ure. The guts comprised a wide
! niim of beautiful and useful articles
(,t 8;!vti w ve cut glass, china, brick-a
biuc, candelabras. lamps, eto., and one
tould scan dy decide which was the
prettiest or most appropriate, lheie
were several tallies full, and the spec
tacle whs one never to be forgotten.
The bride and groom had but a short
time in which to receive the blowings
of their many admiring friends, when
they took the east bound train for Mem
phis, w lienee they went to New Or
leans to epend their honeymoon. A
large number of well-wishing friends
fol.owed them to the train and show
ered them with rice, and played the
usual pranks, which all enjoyed to tbe
utmost.
The Presbyterian church was artis
tically decorated with bamboo, sent
especially for the occasion by Mrs. L
H. Belser, of Camden: white lillie*,
tulip, English ivy, palms, ferns, and
magnolia h-aves, altogether presentii g
a most beautiful picture. The decorat
ing was done by the deft lingers of
Mrs. Edward ltolecon, Mrs. J. M
Nichols, Mrs. Lard, Mis. Laugh, and
several little misses, and was, indeed,
made to outrival the bower of a fairy
queen.
The Fussell home, too, was hand
some in its quaint and lovely hangings
and decorations, and the beautiful
gowns worn by the ladies were in per
fect harmony with every lovely sur
rounding.
Mr. E. P. Taylor is the senior mem
ber of the tirm of Taylor, Knight & Co.,
real estate and insurance, of this city,
and a gentleman of many sterling
qualities. IIis lovely spouse is one of
the purest and noblest of Forrest City's
mnny grand women, and The Times
joins their legion of relatives and
friends in the wish that every day of
their lives will be as happy us the one
upon which they pledged each to the
other their troth.

Mrs. James Fussell, and the wedding
party complete.
A fancy basket hung from the chan
delier, and from the basket parti-color
ed ribbons were suspended to one end
of which was fastened a lovely brooch,
a gift of the bride to-be to each of her
attendants. After the games the young
ladies each toik the end of a ribbon,
and pulled for the brooches, amid the
keenest suspense and sharpest curiosi

The gentlemen cut the cards for the
gentleman's prize — a book entitled
“Love Will Eiud the Way,’’and Mr. R.
H. Wintleld was the lucky one,though in
fact we know not why, as love is as far
from his mind as the east is from the
west.
Elegant refreshments were daintily
served, and the evening happily spent.

The unbmloring of ticket artillery
Monday night aboil' tl o’clock, accom
panied bv the comparatively weak
ringing of the courthouse bell, awaken
ed the good people of the city to liiel
fact that a tire was raging in some!
part of the city. It was the burning
of a tenement house in the rear of the
Blanton home un the Iron Mountain
railroad, occupied by Kev. Ciaig, a
colored preacher, who narrowly es
caped with his life, the lire singeing his
hair as he rushed through the tlauies.
The tire laddies responded tjuicklv, but
so rapid was the work of the (lames
that the shanty was nearly destroyed
before water was thrown. The prop
erty belonged to Mrs. .J. I’. B anton,
and the origin of the lire is unknown.
The topping of revolver cartridges in
the burning dwelling, evidenc'd the
fact that the preacher is armed with
something besides his Bible.
