Joseph F. Roy, ‘of Oklahoma, is visiting relatives and old friends in this vicinity, and was in Rensselaer! Thursday and made The Democrat' a pleasant call. He is a son of] Frank Roy, who moved from Jordan tp., to ndar Enid, Okla., seven years ago, and has developed into a splendid specimen of young AmCr-' lean manhood, and is a bright and! well-mannered yojing man. He states that tlhe last year was very diry in their section of Oklahoma, and crops were almost a, total failure. It was the driest season;* 1909 was dry, 1910 still more so, and in 1911 it went almost the limit. They had lots of rain last month, sufficient to almost insure next season’s, crops. He reports the other members of the family enjoying good health and all are well pleased with their change to Oklahoma. His father sent his regards to all enquiring friends. ' Joe left Nash, Okla., where he had been assisting an uncle in corn husking, Dec. 12, and has journed along by easy stages, visiting refatives and stopping at various places that struck his fancy, arriving in Remington Dec. 30.
