FIT. LYNN, ARK, June 8, 1895.
Editor TExARKANIAN:
The news market is very active
at this place, but owing to the lack
OF time | shall give it but brief
mention.
Sulphur river rose several feet
last week, bringing large lot of
timber to the mill, thereby making
this a very busy place. The mill is
now running l3 hours out of the
"a, giving work to all the idle men
around here.
The preparation for the 4th of
July celebration is being pushed
forward Systematically, with the
determination to make it a grand
success. AT a meeting held last
week a board of directors was ap-
pointed aud the following officers
elected: G 7 Mcclure, president;
+ L Tupper, vice-president; W R
Lambeth, secretary and treasurer;
Rev e H Williams, chaplain; Fred
Mcclure and Mr. Calem, commissar-
les; W d Yarbrough, quartermas-
ter.
We respectfully invite all the edi-
tors in Texarkana to be our guests
on the occasion, There will be a
convenient platform for their ex-
elusive use. We also extend an in
vitation to all civic societies that
have not made other arrangements
to join with us and make it day to
be remembered. Also everyone who
will, is invited to spend a day with
us.
We desire to have a free dinner,
therefore solicit participants to
bring such eatables as suits their
finances, in convenient packages,
which will be taken charge of by
our commissaries and carefully
looked after and spread upon tables
provided for the occasion. There
will also be seats provided for the
comfort Of ladies and children.
Rev. T.. H. Williams spoke words
of good tidings to a well filed house
today. Rev. j. w. Whitesides also
preached an excellent sermon at
the close of Sunday school.

Unsuspected Evils.

Not everything beautiful is
wholesome; not every friend in
name is a friend in deed, not every
pleasure is without harmful inhu-
ence. Beware of the social opeletsl
One of the wonders Of nature is
called the "opelet," about as large
as the German aster, with many
long petals of a light color, glossy
as satin, each tipped with rose
color The lovely petals wave
about in the water, while the
opelet clings to a rock. How inno-
cent and lovely it looks on its rocky
bed! Who would suspect that it
would eat anything grosser than
dew or sunlight2 But those beau
tiful waving arms have to provide
for a large open mouth, hidden
down deep among them, The in
stant foolish little fish touches
one of the rosp tips he is stuck with
poison as fatal to him as lightning,
He Immediately becomes numb, and
in moment stops struggling, and
then the other arms enfold him,

A Rising Railroad City in
Sulphur Township.

The Texarkana g. Shreveport
Railway is now running to Dod-

miles south of Texarkana.
Already a depot has been con-
structed, and the town surveyed on
into business and residence lots and
there is not a particle Of doubt as
TO it becoming Il commercial place

of the soil, fine timber lands, etc,
will insure its making a live town,
For some time to come Doddridge
will be the southern terminus of the
Texarkana & Shreveport railroad.
Town is well located, on high,
sandy plateau, four miles east of
Bright Star and three miles west Of
Spring Bank; Kelly bayou, rnear by,
will receive the drainage and offal
of the place.
Work of opening out the streets
will begin at once. Opposite the
depot is 'Fouke Place." wide plat
of ground, upon which will front
the business houses, to be built at
first; then there are the following
avenues, running east and west;
Collins, Slay, Bryant, and others.
Several merchants are arranging
to locate there right away, and ere
another two weeks elapse, half
dozen or more new store houses will
be in course of construction. One
or more saw mills are expected to
start up soon.
1t is estimated that not less than
1900 bales of cotton will be brought
to the new town this fall.
Now is the time to get in on the
"ground floor" as lots are going
cheap The first stores will reap a
rich harvest,

A Trolley Telephone.

Passengers riding on the electric rail
way between West Farms and Mount Yer
non have the privilege of listening to an
acoustic manifestation that in q remarka-
BILE manner illustrates some Of the earlier
experiments in developing the telephone.
The track is single one, and the poten-
tial of the current is high, Its amperage
is also considerable As result when
car is waiting on a switch for one coming
in an opposite direction, the approach OF
the latter is audible at the distance OF a
mile to the passengers in the waiting car.
The sound vibrations are carried along the
wire, through the trolley, to the wooden
roof of the car. This acts as diaphragm,
which faithfully reproduoes the rumble OF
the approaching car, A mile away the
noise Of the wheels is distinctly audible,
and at the distance of / 900 feet the sound
becomes q loud roar Outside the car, how.
ever, practically nothing is heard until
the moving car is within a few, hundred
feet Of the switoh.-Brooklyn Eagle

BAKED BEANS.
Why You Can't Get the Genuine Outside
of New England.

Why You Can't Get the Genuine Outside
of New England.
The reason why baked beans outside of
New England are SO unlike the genuine
article 10 that they are not properly cooked,
and moro especially because they are not
cooked in the old fashioned down east
bean pot. There are probably no real bean
pots on sale outside of New England.
They are all about the same in appearance
and are made OF potter's clay, which Is
the material flowerpots are made Of
For some reasons beans baked in any
other utensl are unlike those baked In
bean pot just why this is so is hard to
determine, but the fact remains. Possibly
the thick pottery ware affects the beans In
similar manner as a meerschaum pipe
affects the flavor Of tobacco.
Anv one can have nice baked beans If
he secures bean pot and follows these di-
rections; First get your beans The large
red kidney variety is largely used, but the
small white pea bean is more generally
popular
Ono quart Of beans is sufficient when
/ cooked for two meals for an average fam
! ily They should be soaked in cold water
| for an hour or so. Then salt and pepper
should be added, together with half tea
spoonful of mustard and half a teacupful
: OF molassos The molasses gives the beans
a delicious favor, I'D at the same time it
is not tco pronounced, nor is it possible to
detect the molasses. When the beans are
in the pot, half or three-quarters of a
pound Of pork, well strcakod with lean,
should De placed on top and then enough
warm water poured into the pot to just
cover the beans
Beans should be baked in an oven OF
even temperature for either a day or O
night or in other words, about l2 hours
1t is better TO bake them in the daytime
for then they can receive moro attention
As the water gradually eyaporates more
should be added from time to time, but
care should he taken to keep tho beans
covered This must be done until tho
beans are nearly ready TO be taken out
when no more water should be added, SC
that they win not he so moist as to be
come mashed or broken.
The pot can remain in the oven, wher,
1t will simply keep hot for an indefnit
time without injury Beans should b
served in a covered dish. Beans that hav
been left over are delicious warmed up il
stewpan with little water added, an,
, many bean epioures think the more time
beans are warmed over the better they are

rhe slnurhter OF the seals.

Railroad Men Must Have Good Watches.

The matter of time is receiving more at
tention now from railroad officials than in
the past. This refers to watches carried
by various employees, such as depot mas

men, conductors-in fact, everybody who
has anything to do with the moving of
trains Up to quite recently it was go
as you please matter about the class of
watch carried and the condition of its ma
ohinery 1t has been found that delays
and even accidents have often .been made
possible by small difference between the
time indicated on the watches of different
trainmen, and to remedy this several
roads have adopted a system of strict su-
pervision over all the watches carried by
employees The Michigan Central short
time ago got in line with the movement
No special make of watch is made compul-
sorry but all must be up to a certain stand
ard Every month each employee must
submit his watch to an examiner, who
makes careful note of it's condition and
fills out a card giving full particulars.
These cards are deposited at the depot in
box and are all examined by an official
of the road In this way the watches OF
all employees are kept in proper shape,
and nobody is permitted to carry one that
is out of condition.-Detroit Free Press
