The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-07-06

| stlIL bul from personal oOseINd'
ton, / can confidently say that the
result has failed to sustain this dis
couraging proguostication, The
lumber trade, although the profits
are small, has not been more brisk
jn years. Over a million feet we're
shipped from this little place last
month, and still the orders are com
ing in.
Many thanks to Miss Lizzie Geu
try for an excellent boquet OF a
nice lot of toothsome apples, May
the lady live long and ever retain
her youthful charm.
A large number of Fort Lynnians
too numerous to mcntion-hied
themselves to the picnic at Ida, the
terminus of the 7. & S. road last
Saturday, They all report a pleas
ant days outing.
Oscar Lynn has returned from
Auene where he has been in the EN-
ploy of the Little River Lumber Co.
Mr.. P. A. Brown of Black Dia-
mond, made me a call last Friday.
Many thanks to the genial gentle
man for courtesies extended.
Miss Dollie Pilgreeu and G. W,
Elan, and Mrs. Annie Pilgreen and
well, ye scribe, drove over to Inde-
pendence yesterday to attend Sun
day School. An interesting session
was had.
Miss Deliah Turner of Indepen-
deuce, who is teaching at Boggy,
has recently organized Il large Sun
J day school at that place. The young
{ lady is an earnest christian worker
and by her untiring energy in the
Christian cause, l know that her
work will be rewarded with sue
cess. May her good work 60 on.
My friend, W, D. Dodd, of Bright
Star was over Friday and called for
a shake and pleasant exchange of
what we knew. The gentleman
was stepping very high, so much so
that his feet hardly touched the
ground When asked what made
him so stilty, he said, "Ah, old man,
it is because l have been made so
happy by the arrival of a fine and
charming girl, who will reside with
us until some young fellow who may
be unborn at this time, induces her
to change her name and keep house
for him" Well, Billie, I hope the
girl may stay with you long, and be
the means of making a bright and
cheerful home.
The glorious 4th of July has pass
ed into history, but soon to be for
got by many, but will linger long in
the memory of those to whom the
day was freighted with pleasant
incidents. Ye scribe, along with
the majority of the people of Lynn,
attended the picnic at Independence
where we met about two hundred
! pleasure seekers, and l dare say, but
few were disappointed, if any.
/ Everybody came loaded with the
good things of this life, with which
to tickle the palate and regale
the inner man. The morning hours
we're devoted to pleasant social
intercourse, renewing acquaintanCes
and making new ones. At noon a
bounteous and elegant dinner was
spread upon long, improvIsed tables
and everyone was invited to partake
which they did with evident relish,
amid great fun and merriment
After dinner was disposed of, the
crowd was invited into the church
where Mr.. Charles KimbalI intro
duced Prof. Allen Winham, who
after a few preliminary remarks,
proceeded to make a rafting his
toric and patriotic speech, winding
up with an exceedingly interesting
educational talk,
A large platform was provided
and managed by Yves Gentry, where
on the young people enjoyed "bal-
anced to partners" from early morn
till late at night
There will be a picnic at Sam
Stones place on Friday, the 18th
inst. Everyone is invited.
Rev. B. B. Morrison will preach
at Lynn Chapel next Sunday at II
a. m. Come and hear him.
Yours,
July 5, '98, ONoE-A,WEEE.
