FT. LYNN ITEMS.


This is an ideal sunny southern
day, The electrical display last
evening had a clearing effect upon
the weather.
Mrs. Fred Mcclure took the train
last evening for Texarkana where
she will spent a few days at her old
home recuperating from her recent
illness.
Miss Katie Hinsof who spent a
month pleasantly with her friend,
Miss Lizzie Gentry, at Sugar Hill
Farm, returned to her home in Tex
arkana, yesterday, well pleased with
her outing as her health was much
improved.
Ny friend Bob Dodd came over
last Thursday on business. The
gentleman made me pleasant call
and said that there were consider
able sick around the Star. Mostly
measels which have proven fatal in
several cases. He stated that Mr..
John Adcock's wife was the last
victim who was called to cross the
dark waters of the river of death, last
Wednesday. He said the people of
that vicinity feared the measels
more than they did the type of
smallpox that Is prevalent in Tex
arkana and other places.
Mr.. S. A. Martin our genial book
keeper went to the Hub Saturday
to spend Sunday with the better
part of himself.
Mr.. Will Borders went to the
Gate City last Wednesday on bust
ness and pleasure bent. The first
he satisfactorily accomplished, but
the latter being a delicate matter
no less than to whisper sweet things
to bis K. T. will be silent, but
noticed satisfied smile on his open
couutenance. Eh Willie.
If it is true that future events
are floating around in the air in an
aerial form and can be photo
graphed-as noted scientific
crank once asserted. If some aspir,
ing artist could be here with
a camera and outfit, some pleasant
day when weather and conditions
are favorable, he might produce d
picture of a bride and groom-each
of well developed individuality, just
beginning to taste and enjoy the
sweet of honeymoon. Don't ask
me for name, but guess.
I learn from good authority that
my good looking friend, j. W.
Gardner, editor of the enterprising
Texarkanian took a trip recently or
the T. S. " N. road Well there
is nothing strange about that, but
it is little strange that he got lost
and passed right through as noteC
a place as Fort Lynn and did moi
recognize it.
The saw mill is running full time
again and is in condition to make {
good record and will if the T, S, &
N. will haul logs to the mill fast
enough, which they have failed tc
do as yet, although there are thous
ands of logs cut and on the grount
ready to load, That should be rem
edied OF once as the yard is almost
! bare of lumber,
Rev. F. H. Williams, of Texark
ana, will expound the scripture at
Ft, Lynn next Sunday, Feb. II, at
II a, m. and p. m. Come all ye
people and hear ye him, for in as
much as in the Scripture ye fiud
everlasting life.
The Lynn choir will meet at the
chapel every Thursday night for
practice. Through the efforts OF
Mr Mcclure, an organ has been Sc.
cured and placed in the chapel for
their use. Everyone interested are
invited to attend and take part, and
those who do not feel interested are
cordially invited to come out and
get interested and help push the
good work along,
