FORT LYNN FLASHES,

After an unavoidable silence OF
two weeks | make my bow again
to the readers of the Texarkaniau.
The health OF this place has i'm
proved some of late, the credit for
which is no doubt due to Jack
Frost.
The saw mill has shut down for
extensive repairs, the man feature
of which is an entire new boiler
furnace. Edward Barker is doing
the work.
Mrs. C. E. Bramble of Texar-
kama, is here visiting her husband,
aud enjoying the beauties of Lynn
by the Sulphur.
Book-keeper Signet went to Tex
arkana last Saturday to spend
Sunday with friends,
Mr.. j. o. King, shipping clerk, is
at Allene, visiting his uncle, 7. j..
King.
G. T. Mcclure who has been filer
and millwright for the Lynn Lum-
ber company for five years, has
resigned and accepted similar
position with the Richardson Lum-
Der company, at Neal Springs, near
Horatio, Ark. He will take his de-
parture next Wednesday. About
one hundred of his friends congre-
gated at Lynn Chapel last night
to hear his farewell address and
bid him God speed in bis new under
taking. Among those present was
Rev. Mcknight of Roberts.
There was considerable excite
ment created in the negro quarters
last Tuesday night, by the appear
ance of a mysterious animal who
started in at one end of the quar-
ters and killed every dog he got
sight of; he not only killed, but
eat some of them. He finished his
dog killing contract at Neal Lavets,
where the dog cried so loud that
Neal got his gun and shot at the
beast several times, bnt the dog
killer held onto his prey and carried
it of to the woods, while the fusi
lade was going on. 1t is said that
the animal made its appearance at
Boggy last Friday night and went
through the same performace.
Those who saw the thing say that
it was as large as the largest dog
of a brown color and shaggy coat.
1t is supposed to be a Mexican lion.
Now, my dear readers, | haye
greeted you almost every week for
four years, and l trust during that
time that have written nothing
that injured the feelings of any of
my fellow creatures. haye en-
deavored to express myself in an
interesting manner, and | am per-
suaded that my efforts have not
been wholly unsuccessful. In bid
ding farewell TO Fort Lynn, where
the associations have become very
dear to me, am not bidding
farewell to my friends. | trust my
future course, coupled with the
past, will be such as to retain the
friendship and good will of all who n
| haye come in contact, both per-
sonally and through the medium OF
my pencil. After | get settled in
my new location you shall hear
from me as of yore, if anything oc-
ours interesting enough to write
about.
Now, my dear friends, God bless
you all. Amen.

CARE OF UMBRELLAS.

Merits Of Different Materials and
How to Treat Them.
In buying On umbrella you must
take It on faith, for the most expe-
rienced shopper cannot tell how long It
will wear. Silk of q smooth taffeta
weave Is good purchase and light to
carry. Gloria makes q heavier um-
brella, but It outwears any silk make.
No matter what the material may be,
however, never keep It strapped, when
it is carried. Keeping 1t tightly rolled
up destroys half Of Its durable qualities.
When wet, dry an umbrella by standing
it with the handle down, so as to pre-
vent rusting the framework, as hap
pens when the water runs of the other
end and collects Mt the top.
When nearly dry do not open the um-
brella or 1t will stretch out of shape
with drying. Wipe off the handle when
ready to put away, using a piece OF
chamois II there is any silver about 1t.
Sometimes blue or green umbrella
spots when lightly wet; in such case
open it and set out in the first hard
rain, the spots disappearing when it is
thoroughly dampened.
To furl an umbrella properly, grasp
1t firmly at the lower end of the ribs
with the right hand, holding them per-
fectly straight and even, and do not
allow them to twist while you shake
out the folds; next wrap them evenly
around the stick with the left hand and
finally fasten the strap over q smooth,
firmly rolled umbrella.
If either black silk or gloria be-
comes spotted with mud, etc, clean with
bit Of old silk dipped into warm wa
ter and ammonia. If colored silk needs
cleaning, do it with rag of the same
color and naphtha. remembering that
the latter is very explosive. If grease
gets on the silk, remove with magnesia,
rubbing it in, and allowing it to remain
for "a hours. Naphtha also removes
grease. but this liquid cannot be pur-
chased everywhere, and magnesia can.

FLOOR PLAN OF ICE HOUSE.
These should correspond in length to
the others. The floor inside this last set
is foot or so higher than the remain
der. The house is to be entered from the
front, where door should be made.
The roof is composed of rough boards or
even straw; anything that will turn sun
and rain.
In packing the ice, straw and chaff
may be used. Begin by taking poles
cut to the required length, and build
ing up the inside wall Of the ice house
rs you would an old-fashioned railpen.
Build about a foot at time, then pack
in the ice, filling in all the chinks be-
tween the cakes with ice and chaff.
Then pack straw between the two
walls tightly. 1t Is much handler, in
taking out the ice, If the layers are
kept distinct. When full, cover over
with straw, leaving a space between the
top and the roof. There is little trouble
in keeping ice If the drainage is good,
which this sort of a house insures, pro-
vided there is way for the accumula-
ting water in the bottom to escape. This
is easily accomplished by means Of q
few joints Of tile or wooden trough

HINTS FOR DAlRYMEN.

A dragging gait shows weak muscles
In the COW.
When the spring comes remember
that there is not much nutrition in the
new grass.
Ice will keep piled on top Of the
ground ii you will cover it deep enough
with saw dust.
A kicking COW and swearing milk
er make bigger nuisance than skunk
under the barn Is.
Better pay good price for good
COW than small price for poor one.
In fact a poor cow is not worth having.
Exercise creates heat in the cow and
to degree takes the place of feed. But
that does not necessarily mean that ex-
ercise is profitable.
Milk being such a ready vehicle by
which to carry disease, it should never
be used when the cow shows the slight
est symptoms Of sickness.
Is it true that cows MIXED nearly up
to the time of calving, will drop smaller
calves? asks a subscriber. That is the
theory of some, but we have never seen
any evidence OF its truth
A subscriber has two cows that give
bloody milk after calving. This is
caused by blows or commencing inflam-
nation from other causes; local con-
gestion, with increased flow of milk.
Give a dose Of salts, restrict the diet
and rub daily with compound tincture
of iodine with three times it's bulk of
water.-Western P,owman.
