Davis , v - Board of Election Commissioners for Putnam County. Ada, Okla. As some one from Route 6 wanted F. G. D. to write a'few lines I will try for the first time. ' I have been in Ada since July 21st and saw my second rain the 28th of the past month. It has been very dry hero this fall. The city has voted $150,000 bends for Bird Mill water which is 15 miles south of Ada. This fine spring affords enough water for every family and all of the stock in the country and the water is just as pure as any in Tennessee or any where else. When we get this we will have one of the best towns in the state I like this country better than Tenn ' essee for a young man has more chance here than there. As to myself I have a nice job work ing m a grocery store for reasonably - good wages. Seme of the Tennessee people talk'pf going back to Tennessee some time es pecially when they get sick, for they think if they should die and were to be buried beneath the black land they would be forever buried beneath: the sod and would never arise again. R. D. Dow has rented 120 acres of fine land at Tyrolla. Okla.. north of ' Ada, wi th ; good terms and farming irnplments furnished and a nice house on the place; barns and every thing a farm needs. He pays half of the crop. He will leave Ada about the 15th to take charge of his new home. - The writer took one day off for Xrnaa and chased jack' rabbits all day and got: oqe and was more tired when ther sun went down than the day he worked. Will close , with best wishes to the Herald and many readers. . G. D. ;
