RETURNS FROM EXTENDED TRIP

pi. A. Glazebrook returned Monday gening from an extended trip to the ! southwest. He and Nick Schmitter l left here about two months ago, driving Ike's trotting mare to a point over in Illinois where they turned the mare out on pasture and proceeded the rest of the way .by rail. Nick was only gone a couple of weeks, but Ike wanted to see it all and staid two months. Y During his absence he visited Texarkana. Bay City, Brownsville, Isabel. Point, Torpon Beach, San Barnado, Corpus Christ;, Huston and Ft. Worth, in Texas, and was at the latter place three weeks. John Jessen has been at Ft. Worth for the past six months and Ike says John likes it firstrate there, but it was most too hot for Ike. the mercury while he was there touching 112 degrees. John would take a paper to bed with him. Ike says, and fold it up and lie on the bed all night fanning himself, and then swear it wasn’t very hot there, much to the latter’s disgust. Texas is a great state, Ike thinks, but much of it is undeveloped as yet. Ike also visited Enid, Chickasha, Oklahoma City, (ten clays in Oklahoma City), Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Osage, and other points in Oklahoma, and is much taken up with that state. He thinks it the best of all that he saw. He was also over the Rio Grande to Metamora, old Mexico, and if he had staid one more day there he would have got to see a bull fight. * At practically every place he was at In’ Oklahoma he met former Jasper .county people. All are doing well, 1 some haying made small fortunes glmost in the past few years.
