Letter From Woodward County.
Brnle, Woodward Co., Oklahon

6rule, woodward Co., OklahOmd
EDITOR DEMocRAE- Brule, Okla
homa, is situated on the Buffalo River
has population of about fv,
| hundred It has three churches, five
stores, four school houses and thre,
children to each house, two drug
stores and one clerk tends to all the
customers; two blacksmith shops, one
lawyer, a doctor and music teacher
1t is forty miles from Woodward
the county seat, and thirty miles from
Ashland, Kansas, our nearest rail
road center. Everything is hauled
from Ashland with one yellow spar
of mules, and one of them is a relic
from Noah's Ark.
We have big livery barn with
one saddle horse and mule with ar
automobile in his neck. On. Satur
days when the automobile gets Out
and the Missourians stand on the
street with their mouths open ano
their eyes shut, you wouldn't ask fol
a better side show; why the liverymar
just takes up collections as fast as the
automobile travels.
Brule has daily mail and it would
seem odd to the people in Kansas, to
see. the mail man get out of the mail
wagon and carry the mail in to the
post Office in big red handkerchief
The farms adjoining Brule sell for
from $1,000 to $4,000, and you can
leave Brule and go two miles and
buy them for S14.00 and homestead
them.
AS far as the eye can see in all
directions is nothing but covered
wagons, and when they are in speak
ing distance their first greeting is
'where are you from?" and the reply
nine out of ten times is ''from the
Ozark Mountains" and where are
you located? "Near Brule"
The land from the line between
Oklahoma and Kansas till twelve
miles south of Brule is as good land
as you could ask for, but from
Camp Supply south into Woodward
is nothing but sand hills and dust.
To anyone looking for a job,
Brule is just the place, but you must
come with high heel boots, white
hat and pair of spurs. Apply to
the cattle men for a job; they will ask
you if you can ride and of course
your answer is yes, they will ask you
to mount bronco, and if he bucks,
you must roll off, and you have a job
for life-"A job to go back
In the last four months we have
had five good rains and four snow
storms and as a result the wheat
prospect is fine. There is about
fifty acres of wheat in Woodward
county.
One of the Brule farmers sold his
quarter with fourteen acres, broke,
for $500. If there is any. more
Kansas men want to buy farms ''they
will have to hurry"
Corn is so cents bushel, potatoes
S1.00, apples S1.00, butter % cents,
eggs 20 cents, dry salt % cents, and
they are wondering what bacon and
ham is.
Woodward, the county seat, has
the finest water works; in case of fire
they set a box in the river, one man
stands on it and throws the water to
the other bank.
They also have a photograph
gallery-just stand at the edge of a
buffalo wallow and set your
resemblance IN the wallow.
Saw an ad in the Woodward paper
wanted, on the exchange ranch,
without high heels or spurs, girls.
The cattle men have found out the
SINNERS had good job during the
storm, vet the Woodward county
farmers are here to stay.

Last SATURDAY. evening a

Last Saturday evening large
number of the neighbors and friends
of d. T. Armstrong and family took
advantage of MIR. Armstrong; being
at home to spend Sunday, and f1ocked
in on them unawares. The evening
was most pleasantly spent in social
games and good cheer, the refresh
ments being fruits; and the drift of
comment was in the shape of we'll
wishes to follow Mr. Armstrong; to
their new home at Anthony.
