FT. LYNN FLASHES.

A few rays of light has flashed
upon Fort Lynn the past week and
passed like d meteor but left an i'm
press that can both be seen and felt
"a few of which I will cndeavor
to fash upon the minds eye of the
thousands who read the progressive
TEXARKANIAN / say thousands ad-
visedly, as | am aware that there
are about five who read the paper
to one actual subscriber. Perhaps
some may think that is an extrava-
giant assertion but nevertheless, no
one can prove it a false deduc-
tion.
The Sulphur is in its banks and
running toward the Red as though
it wanted to get there and had but
an hour to do it in,

stock in the river and will depend
mostly on the railroad for logs to
work upon until another rise of the

Mr.. f. L, Tupper and three or
tour of the other boys has formed a
syndicate and constructed a bath,

A small political ripple disturbed
the usual placid surface of every

dates for Office have been manifest

Mr.. Jodie Kirby candidate for
Sheriff, was the first to present his
card and give us a grip, l had a
very pleasant talk with the gentle
man, He did not put on any spread
eagle agony over his claims on the
party and did not seem to think
the country would be hoplessly
ruined if he was not nominated. He
simply vents the Office because it is
a good JOB of which he feels himself
fully competent to manage, He
mentioned to me that he had been
a saw mill man which touched me
in soft spot, as | always have a
tender feeling for the fraternity.
Mr. Kirby stands well with our peo
pie and will have a good following.
The next to seek our fayors was
