Tomlinson, Esq., Jonas Tomlinson married Howard BALLUS and Miss Dora WILSON of St. Francis at 12:45 o'clock.

The efforts to get [a] license at Clarendon, Forrest City, and DeValls Bluff on Monday, all proved fruitless and it began to look desperate for the would-be-wedded couple. But a marriage license came in overland from Cotton Plant Monday night by midnight and they were soon united as told above, by Justice Tomlinson in his usual, graceful way.June 29, 1906 News From Wheatley BOGART-SMITH - On Wednesday evening, June 20th at the Methodist Church in Wheatley, Miss Scottie SMITH was married to Dr. H.D.

It was when Harry CRUTCHFIELD led Miss Ethel ARNOLD to the alter. Harry is only about 19, but a very quiet industrious young fellow. He has been with the firm of Trotter and Minnis for quite a while. For sometime, he has been paying his respects to Miss Ethel, occassionally taking her buggy riding, but no one thought of Cupid doing such earnest work. Miss Ethel, who is a relative of Mrs. Frank DOUGHERTY, and with whom she has been making her home since she came down from McCrory, is a nice quiet young lady about Harry's age and is one that is calculated to make a good wife for the one she has agreed to take her part in life's battle for weal or woe. Their friends wish for them happiness and prosperity. They are presently stopping at Hotel Roe. There was no preacher here last Sunday, so they, together with some friends, drove down to Esq. Billy Preston and had the ceremony performed there. It was Mr. Preston's first couple. I'm told he got through without a fright.
