The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1905-01-27

ing to such cold weather tney naNS
had in the East organs did not
bring as good price for the past
few days as they should, as wealth
er was so bad there were no buyers
and fruit arrived III bad shape, but
in the last day it has moderated
SO they are climbing up once more
in price, so your frigid weather
effects us some as you can see by
knocking the price OIL oranges.
1t rains very different from the
way ii does in the B.I. II. Here
the rain drops come straight dowH
from the clouds and don deviate, no
wind to drive them out Of their
way, just fall right down.
We have the best roads here in
this country I ever saw in my
travels, all graded like railroad
grade and either cement or gravel
put Oh top Of them, or elsethey are
oiled and worked down so they are
hard and smooth, the incest place
to ride wheel or drive an auto
mobile i'll the whole country and
| there are lots of both here in this
! place. / have been informed that
there were over six thousand
wheels here in Pomona and as to
autos we have about rs in this
city and lots Of people in the coun-
try own autos, Eand to see people
come into Pomona in a lumber
wagon would certainly he a curiosi-
Ity, for they all come in either on
wheels, buggies or Eautos.
We have all kinds Of garden
Vegetables delivered to our door
here now just the same as you do
up there i'll summer season. and all
kinds Of vegetables are verv cheap
here ripe tomatoes at three cents
per bunch, celery two punches for
a nickie, peas six cents per pound,
radishes two punches for a nickle
and everything else at same pro-
portion, but if you have strong
Methodist proclivities and have to
have yellow legged chickens for
dinners it would be expensive to
get meat unless you could take
them off the roost when no one was
about, and they are SO high here
that it is almost iupossibce to reach
them even OH The roost.
Climate, schools, roads, churches,
! society, fruit, flowers, temperance,
beautiful shady streets, beautiful
lawns, sidewalks made Of cement,
refinement Of the people as 2
whole. sociability, and in fact al
that goes to make life worth living
can't be beat in any piece thai
| know any thing about ~ we fnd
it here i'll Pomona.
