The New and The Old.
Change and movement are the
prerequisites to progress and
advancement in any line. ’Tis
inaction and lack of change that
causes stagnant pools and seas
of salt.
Realizing the above, the people
of Woodruff Co. have ordered a
change in every office but two,
viz. Treasurer and County Clerk.
Messrs. J. B. Kittrell, Ed S.
Carl-Lee. T. E. Stanley, H. M.
Woods, Cras Buchanan and A. J.
Black, are the out-going officials.
Their rev ard and esteem in the
hearts of their countrymen is
commensurate with the faithful
discharge of the people’s wishes.
If they have done this, they can
look back with pride at the re
cord.
J. D. Eluridge, M. H. Patterson,
Paul Martin, W. R. Cain, Will
Moorman and Henry Shroeter,
are the Agoing officials and in
their hands is placed the confi
dence, honor a^.d safety of our
homes and fire-sides: the records
of our c-viunty etc. We believe i
they,are equal to the occasion:
Tfiay providence aid and guide
their every step.
To the new officials, we will
say, you are fresh from the hands
of the people. They have reposed
special confidence in you and
your unflinching motto should j
be “I owe no man or place any- {
thing, but to the people, I owre it
ail.” On all propositions, ask
yourself the wish of the major
ity and stand by it. Your record
is a blank book and the entries
therein made, wail be your owTn I
acts. Be loyal to the people]
and they m turn will be loyal to
you.
The News man intends to give
each county official a short write
up beginning next week; taking
one at the time. I shall consider
it a special favor if each one will
send the News tlie proper data
for the sketch.
LETTER PROM OKLA
HOMA.
Dear Sir: As I am personally
acquainted with you and receive
a copy of your paper each week
and find it deserves a good patro
nage owing to its excellency and
by request of some friends and
in reply to some inquiring lette i s
from Arkansas, I shall briefly
write up Oklahoma and show
how the '‘land lays.”
“Out West” in Oklahoma
which once was called North
America’s Great Desert; tetotal
ly inhabi&d by Indians and wild
animals, is now as productive
as any place in America and in
habited by an intelligent class of
people, who have the push to car
ry things along. Pew scatter
ing Indians remain here. We
will take Potowomone county for
a criterion, which will do for all
of Oklahoma, east of Oklahoma
City. The land is mostly prairie
with excellent soil. The up-lands
raise from 30 to 50 bu. corn per
acre aud half bale of cotton; oats
and wheat 15 to 30 bu. per acre
‘ T'J
Shawnee has 50 acres that will
yield 100 bu. of corn per acre
which he is now gathering, which
amounts to $3000. and the first
crop made him $2300 almost $160
pet- acre. For education of the
children, this country is hard to
beat.
Shawnee is one of the besl ci
ties in Oklahoma, with one road
and two more most completed; a
R. R. shop which works about
three hundred men; five cotton
gins; an ice plant; electric plant;
motor plant; a compress; two bot
tling works; two foundrys; a ci
gar factory; a large canning fac
tory under construction; about
400 brick buildings and one of
the finest pressed brick school
buildings in Oklahoma; 15church
es; health is good.
Now about the wind you have
heard so much about is some
what as it is in Texas or any oth
er prairie country. A good deal
of wind and especially in March.
During other months, there is
a breeze. For a short time three
or four times a year, we have a
