Letter From Oklahoma.

ClIf, august ~, A9VV'
Editor of the InteIligeneer:
A few days ago, while walking down
the street, I heard the strains from q
fiddle, and 1t seemed to me that had
heard that fiddle somewhere. lie II not
strange that OF the millions Of iddles
and fddlers q person will pick out the
fiddle which he has heard. though
thousands are playing the same tunes?
1 went in the crowd to look at The
vlohnist, and there sat Evans, the
blind fiddler from Berlin.
1t is "middling warm" here, the
thermometer ranging way up in The
ninetles. But there is nearly always a
pleasant breeze. Get where the breeze
is shut of and you will suffer. The
farmers are needing rain, as even the
cotton has begun TO suffer. Cotton Is
one Of the principal crops. The corn
is being cut, and much ground has
been broken for wheat.
Last Saturday / went to Gainesville,
Texas, and stayed till Monday, visit

Cook was formerly Miss Maggie Drss'
