Among the charming Southern fami
lies sojourning for the summer at Bar
1 larbor is the family of Gen. Preston, of
Lexington, Ky. The daughters, Miss
1 reston and Miss Jessie, are types of
well-bred Southerners, while Mrs. Pres
ton is in every way a most refined lady.
Mis. John King, of Helena, who has
been visiting relatives in this city,.has
gone for a few weeks to Armstrong
Springs. With Mrs. King goes her
bright little daughter. Mrs. King has
so often dispensed a graceful hospitality
to our citizens in her beautiful home in
Helena that they will be interested in
learning of her movements. '
Mrs. Harvey Walter has returned
bom her Friars Point plantation to her
Home in Holly Springs. With her have
returned also her daughters, Misses
bene, I earl and Anna, with the little
granddaughter, Addie, the child of Col
Myers, of Jackson. Mrs. Walter is the
widow of Col. Walter, the noble Presi
dent of the Howard Association, who
with his three sons, died at their posts in
Holly Springs during the epidemic of
yellow fever some eight years since.
The young people from New York,
St. Louis and Little Rock are having it
all their own way at the Crescent Hotel,
Eureka Springs. Miss Elkins, daughter
of Mr. Stephen Elkins, of New York, is,
we learn, one of the most intellectual
young ladies of the party. Mr. Mc-
Creery, of St. Louis, has also been an
addition to the young circle. Miss Daisy
Brockmire is described as bright and
“straight as a little soldier,” while Miss
Lillian Brown, of Van Buren, has many
pleasant things said of her courtesy and
grace. Miss Grace Dodge, of Little
Rock, from our “rose-bud garden of
girls,” is yet held back from an intro
duction to the gayeties of social life by
not being formally “out,” while Messrs.
Roots and Norton, of Little Rock, with
young Church and Scanlan, of St. Louis,
complete the happy circle of young peo
ple, who get up germans, play games
and race for prizes in a regular English
country house fashion.
The marriage ceremony of Miss Lula
Thomas and Mr. Harry Edmonson, of
this city, was performed last Wednes
day, August 4th, in the presence of a
large concourse of friends. The bridal
couple presented a very handsome ap
pearance standing under an arch of
flowers, in the parlors of the bride’s
mother. Ihe dress of the bride was of
cream colored ottoman silk, made en
tram and trimmed very beautifully with
small pearls. The veil’s illusion, the bri
dal boquet ferns,tuberoses and whiterose
buds. A little nephew and neice stood
on either side of the arch, while Mr.
Chipley and Miss Ada Marshall stood
also near in the capacity of groomsman
and bridesmaid. A relative of the bride,
Rev. Mi. Thomas, from lowa, assisted
in the ceiemony. As the solemn words
ended that united this well-know voting
pair, they were surrounded by friends,
who proffered glad congratulations,
fl he fair bride presented a lovely ap
pearance as standing under the bell of
tuberoses, she smiled her thanks for the
many kind words spoken.
Refieshments were served in the din
ing-room later, and at 11 o’clock the
bride donned her traveling dress, and
the married pair left tor a bridal tour in
the Last. A number of handsome pres
ents were placed upon two tables in the

generosity of friends.
