awaits no man-time.
This is a very busy place at pre-
sent. The Sulphur rose some last
week, the water coming from the
Red. The river is full of logs there
fore the mill is running full time,
also the planning mill, making it
very lively here now.
The fire fend has gotten in more
of his destructive work here. Last
Friday at about 3 o'clock, flames
were discovered issuing from the top
of one of the dry kilns, about mid
way of the row. The alarm was
sounded by the mill whistle, when
every one dropped their work and
started on a race tor the scene OF
distraction, carrying spare hose
with them, which was attached to
two hydrants and at the expiration
of but few seconds two good
streams Of water were playing upon
the glowing pile The fire had
gained 50 much headway that it was
soon discovered that the kiln must
90, but under the directors Of
Superintendent Iupper and King,
the fire was soon gotten under con-
troll There was no undue excite
ment manifested, in fact ] must say
that it was the coolest fire fight
that I ever witnessed, All deserve
great credit. Fortunately the loss
was but small.
Thanks Brother Home Spun for
your kind manner Of pitching splin-
tiers at me. 1t is very pleasant
passtime to catch such splinters,
when | know that the tree they
came from is no sham; and, now,
my dear Home Spun" for fear you
will lose sleep and otherwise wrong
Yourself into a decline rumindting
over our bachelors lonly condition,
the boys of Fort Lynn, especially
Walter and Fred hasten to arise to
set your mind at rest, by explaining
that the reason they live alone
(Which ought to be as plain as
the nose on a mans face is because
this is leap year, and they are wait
ing for the young ladies to come
and propose to take when under
their protecting care, and thereby
make them the happiest boys alive.
They say if you wanted to be IN 1t,
a little bit, go than and do likewise.

meeting Rev, McKelvy made a pro-
