FORT LYNN FLASHES.

&
to the skillful aud uuceasing atteu-
ton of DR.. Lennard for the space
of three days, and the mercies of a
kind providence, am now conva-
lesceut.
Many incidents have happenened
since my last worth recording but
owing to the present condition OF
things, will only mention but a
few of them.
The dry weather still continues
and is becoming very oppressively
and disagreeably-have had no rain
for about one month. Everything
is looking parched and thirsty, and
no indications of a change for the
better.
The present hot weather is re-
sulting in a great deal of serious
sickness.
regret to note that Doctor Len
nard is seriously i'll with slow fever,
which is very unfortunate at the
present time, not only for him, but
for the place generally. Dr. Rice,
of Doggy, is in attendance, who l
trust will soon have him on his feet
again.
Mr. H. S. Smith has been quite
i'll for two weeks but l am pleased
to note is convalescing now. But
unfortunately his wife is very low
with congestion. trust that DR..
Rice, who is in attendance, will be
able to pull her through at an early
date.
Sorry to learn that Capt. Sam
Lingard's wife is on the sick list,
Trust the lady may soon recover
her usual good health.
The angel of death has left rec
ord of another visit to Ft, Lynn
Friday night the II inst, Mrs,
Charles Buckner died. A Complica-
tion of diseases resulting in conges,
tion was the cause. The lady was
young, scarcely 20 years old. Her
mother, Mrs. Thomas, of Texarka-
ma, soothed her last moments. The
deceased leaves a husband and one
child one year old, besides mother,
father and three sisters, to mourn
he untimely departure, The atflict-
ed family have the coincidence and
sympathy of this eutire community.
Capt. c. E. Bramble went to the
Hub Saturday on business and to
spend Sunday with his family.
The personal of the management
of Hotel Lynn, was changed last
week from Gentry & Ramsey to
Ramsey, Mrs. Mary Ramsey hav-
ing purchased Mr.. Gentry's inter,
est, is sole proprietress. Wish her
success.
During the late rise of the river,
Sulphur river got bank full, but at
this time the water is but a few
feet above low water. There is some
thing about the water, a phenome-
ua if you will, that was never noted
before-water is quite salty. From
the very first it was found difficult
to make aud retain head of steam
at the mill, owing to the water
foaming in the boilers, and finding
its way into and through the cylin-
der, (every engineer will know what
that means) and it was not long
until it was discovered that wher-
ever there was a leak about the
boilers the adjacent surface of the
iron soon became encrusted with a
hard, white substance, which when
broken off and tested, proved to be
pure and unadulterated salt. Will
some wise man arise and explain
the cause-where the salt comes
from, etc. have my idea, but had
rather not expose my ignorance.
| Mr., Thomas Hinson, who has
made a crop on Mrs A, j, Ramseys
place, has sold the standing crop to
Mr.. Ramsey, and moved his family
to the Twin City to enter the EN-.
ploy of the Penn. Lumber Co.
trust the gentleman's new venture
may prove pleasant as well as prof
table,
Trusting that in the future ] may
be able to greet the readers of the
progressive TeXarkonidn weekly
| am Yours Sincerely
ONCE A WEEK,
