FORT LYNN FLASHES.

Well, my friends, here am again,
| after two weeks silence. ] lregret
that I was unable to dish up my
usual budget OF flashes last week.
While riding home from lndepen-
dence from the ice cream festival,
| 1 received a painful wound in my
left eve from an overhangiug branch
of a tree, which rendered that deli
cate organ hors de combat for two
or three days.
The festival at Pisgah church
proved a grand success in attend
auce, pleasure and finance, between
two and three hundred people hay
inc participated in the pleasures Of
the evening. The receipts enabled
the church to clear of a debt of
$500, which leaves it entirely out
of debt, thanks to the patronage
OF the Young people OF indie
pendence.
Messrs. S. Buckley, G. W. Elan,
Misses Lizzie Gentry and Lizzie
Saunders, and ye scribe rode out TO
Independence yesterday Sunday
to Sunday school, after which Rev.
Shaw, of Fouke preached an excel
lent sermon to alarge and attentive
congregation. The Sunday School
of that place is in a healthy and
fourishing condition, thanks to the
untirlug efforts of Misses Emma
= Bate, Della Turner, Susie Kimball
and Mrs. Stone, teachers.
E The Sulphur river is now out of
S its banks, but is receding slowly.
Capt. F. L. Tupper, general man
ager of the lumber business here,
a went to the gate city last Thursday
=. on business.
Misses Blanch and Mable TuppeT
went to Black Diamond last week
-' to visit Miss Mamie Brown, the
q charming daughter of Mr.. and Mrs,
o P. A Brown of that place.
] Mrs. Annie Pllgreen spent a cou'
pie of days at the embryo city OF
Kiblah last week, visiting old friends.
;, The lady reports a pleasant visit.
PIP. Elan came over from Spring
A Hill last week, on a visit to his
father G. W. Elan, and | think
: well-to Whisper some pretty things
into a pink ear. That is all right,
n my boy, you need not be bashful,
r such things needs be in order to
settle the most important problem
of this life.
There is a George Dewey residing
. in Lynn now-he came in the dead
q of night, but as he was expected, a
S lookout was kept for him. He was
+ received in loving kindness and
, clothed in robes of white, en-
! blems of purity. The young gen.
/ tleman has taken up his abode with
+ Mr.. and Mrs. C. G. Buckner and
: will remain permanently. l trust
he may bring gladness to the home
of his entertainers.
e W. D. Dodd made me a pleasant
call Saturday. He says crops look
! well in Sulphur township and the
farmers are in excellent humor.
T Billy brings garden sass over, for
T which he finds a ready market.
DR.. Lennard started to Atlanta,
Texas, last Saturday morning on
his wheel. 1t is not known whether
n he has arrived there or not, as he
: has not been heard from as yet. 1t
. is thought that if he led the critter
: the greatest part of the way, he
! may have gotten through all right.
Fort Lynn is making great strides
in improvement. Several buildings
b have been built here the past

!. ing loom up conspicuouslY: large

for Mr.. Martin, the meat dealer,
4 also residence tor DR.. Lennard, and

Trusting these few lines may find
my readers enjoying good health
and happiness, l am yours,
