Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 May 1902 — FROM OKLAHOMA. [ARTICLE]

FROM OKLAHOMA.

Under date of April 25, James W. Douthit writes us from Weatherford, Okla., and among other things, says: This leaves us well. Wife and baby have gone with a neighbor lady visiting in the country. Today has been another windy, sandy day. Our garden stuff is all up, and we had our first mess of radishes to-day. Corn 13 planted and most of it up. There is a good prospect for peaches this year. There have been sufficient spring rains and if we have a little rain in June or July there will be a good crop of corn and cotton. Wheat will not be as good as last year. A city election took, place this spring in this city. The regular Democratic ticket was elected except the Mayor, and a democrat was elected on the Citizen’s ticket by eleven votes. There will be a primary election in which the county ticket will be nominated on the 31st of May. As Oklahoma is democratic we have little hopes of statehood at this time. With many thanks for past favors I remain, Yours Truly,

JAMES W. DOUTHIT.
