NEIGHDOR ALEX
Some Interesting facts About Our
New Town on the Southeast

The new town of Alex was sur
veyed, plated and laid out by Mr..
W. v. Alexander IN 1902 at the
advent of the railroad. Alex is To-
Gated 10 miles southeast Of Chick
asha in the very heart Of the fam
Gus Washita Valley at the confiu-
ense of Soldier creek with Poaring
creek two miles to the south
The country surrounding Alex
is unsurpassed in fertility and every
thing indigenous to its soil appears
TO grow and thrive almost spontan-
eously. A new bridge is soon to be
built across the Washita river at
this point which will give the
town direct communication with
the vast agricultural and stock
grazing country to the east. The
town has well equipped cotton
gin and the good people OF the
town have subscribed enough
money to pay off the debt Of the
nery Methodist parsonage and they
contemplate erecting new church
in the near future.
