THE news which comes from Ok
lahoma is of q very different cOloring
from that which was spread over the
country previous to the opening of
the territory for settlement. The
people who have flocked there by
thousands have been bitterly disap-
pointed in the land, thesclimate, and
in most every other feature which
was claimed for it. The suffering is
very great, and hundreds are fleeing
back to their old homes. A great
part of the land is steril, the water
supply is scarce and of very poor
quality, the sun is scorching hot in
the day time, and the nights are
singing cold. These are the kind OF
reports that are coming from there
now. 1t looks foolish for Tennessee
ans to leave even our poorest lands

scans will stick to their old homes
