trust the gentlemen will soon re-
cover and be able to return to Bis
duties here.
CMr. W. D.sDodd of Bright Star,
gave us a pleasant call yesterday,
and in conversation with him,
among other things, be informed
me that the smallpox scare was
all i fraud-that there is not, and
has not been a case near there. He
also said that this would be his last
visit here for some time, as the
main attraction was going to move
away. My dear boy, l am sorry
but presume.our loss will be the
FrostviIlians gain. 1t is an i'll wind,
brother, indeed, that fails to blow
good to some locality,
The most noted social event of
the season occurred last night, the
occasion being no less than a social
entertainment given by Mr.. and
Mrs l.. H. Roster, on board their
nicely fitted up, and elegantly ap-
pointed barge, Alice, to their many
friends The evening passed of
very pleasantly, without any one
falling overheard. At late hour
all retired to their respective
homes, well satisfied that the hos
pitaity of their kind host and hos
tess was very pleasant medicine to
take, and do cheerfully recommend
it to any, one who is troubled with
the blue d--s, warrantiug prompt
relief.
The hotel here will change hands
again tomorrow. Mrs. Henderson
has been offered the contract of a
boarding house at Frostville, and
she thinks it will be more profitable
than this. Mrs. Mitchner of Tex
arkana, daughter of Mr., T. J. King,
superintendent of the yard and
planning mill here, will succeed Mrs.
Henderson. The lady was here
yesterday, and concluded the ar
rangements She returned to Tex
arkaua accompanied by Onah King,
her cousin, but will be back tomor-
row to take charge of the house
The lady is welcome to TT Lynn,
and trust it may not only be a
profitable but pleasant venture for
her.
MISS Mary Sanders is suffering
severely with eresypelas. i trust
she may soon find relief,
l regret to learn that Mrs. A. ].
Ramsey has been quite sick the past
week; hope she will soon regain her
usual good health
Mrs. Yarbrough of Doddridge, is
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Lam
beth, Of this place,
Thanks to Mr.. John Kennedy OF
Black Diamond, for sending me a
quart OF the Diamond mineral wa
ter, which l will try as a medicine
for general debility and give the
result to the public,
Hurrah for the Fourth OF July
and Old Glory Fort Lynn will give
a grand celebration of our National
independence Day" that will
eclipse anything of the kind ever
seen in south west Arkansas, at
Fouke Park, and | desire to impress
upon the minds of the readers OF
the TExARKANIAN, and any other
paper, that this is not bumcombe,
for we mean business, 1t is fully
decided upon. AS our plans devel
op | will give them to the TEXAR-
KANIAN,
1t is pleasant for oHe to know
that he has genuine friends, though
they be children. The writer has
Just received a most beautiful bou,
quet Of fine roses and other beauti-
full flowers, cut, put up and artist
cally arranged by four little boys
of Bright Star, sons of Mr., Ed Ad
cock. God bless the kind hearted
little gentlemen, for contributing
that hich will make a bright spot
in the memory Of an old man. II
they are a sample of the future
rulers of Arkansas, the state viii

HelIo-still they come, the beau
tiful roses. Just as flushed writ
