N9 OKLAHOMA FOR HIM
C. H. Cole, Aft If a 600 Mile Drive
Over the New State, Returns to
Polk County and Will Remain.
C. H. Cole, a resident ot Mena
for thirteen years, and who about
a year ago traded for a farm m
Oklahoma, has returned from a
i)GO mile trip by wagon, and is
profuse in his reasons for prefer
ring Folk county to what he saw
in the state to the west. He was
accompanied bv W. R. Simmons
who shares his opinions. They
were gone almost Live weeks.
Speaking of the country
through which he passed. Mr.
Cole stated that in some of the
level counties there was more
poor land than in the Polk county
hills, and that none ot the
dozens of towns visited was in
any way an equ .l of Mena in
health or natural beauty.
Mr. Cols was worst shocked,
perhaps, by what he classes as
the “opeu and vicious violation
of the prohibition law.” He
states that whiskey was sold ev
erywhere, by farmers, by negroei
and Indians, and says he saw
more drunkeness in one d.ym
town of from 300 to 400 popuU"
ion than he ever saw in Mem in
six months.
Mr. Cole owns what he says is
a good farm over there—but he’s
going to cout nue toliveiiPuk
county.
