Editor The Optic.
The readers OF your paper who are
acquainted with us may be surprised
to hear OF our sudden departure from
Oklahoma City.
We left there Wednesday morning,
May Ord, at 1870 and went to Kansas
City over the Katy" which IS the
Missouri, Kansas IL Texas railroad.
We left the city In a gentle shower OF
rain which made everything look green
and fresh for the crops. Fruit and gar
den truck are looking fine and grow
Ing fast. Peaches and apples are as
large as the end Of your themb and
cherries are almost ripe, and other
fruits promising a large yield unless
something extraordinary happens to
prevent. The roses, both red and vel
low, were in full bloom at nearly
every doorway and many Of the porch
es were shaded with red and white
h~oneysnckle. The lawns were beauti-
full and green and everything showed
that summer was coming, even the
sun reminding one Of the fact.
We passed field after field OF alfalfa
that will soon be ready TO cut and the
'all wheat was nodding around looking
for their heads. The farmers all had
fat stock and lots Of II, especially cat
tie and hogs.
The country Is about half covered
with trees consisting OF elm, cotton
wood and black jack oak. which breaks
