Mr.. James HOllon,
Haze! Green, Ky.
Dear James:
as pea Jour request of recent date and as
do not happen 10 have anything on my
mind at this time, except my hair. will
join your dome Coming" proposition by
writing you few lines, which will no doubt
be as interesting to myself as any one else,
for know letter from me would be al
most as interesting as game of checkers.
First | would like to say we think the
Herald is better than it ever was before
Honestly we have been looking for you to
put on sport page. Aud the oil news in
dicstes that business is not bad back in
that part Of the world.
While speaking OF news papers / might
say word for our Tulsa papers. We have
three daily papers; the Tulsa World is the
largest. IL is dandy paper; just one fault
TO be found with it, and that is the stale
news we have 20 read every time we pick
it mp. We read things in the Kansas City
Star today, and read them in Tulsa World
nezt week. Tho that's not bad service for
a daily paper in a town OF slsis size, do you
think so?
Tulsa is a great place. The people car
hardly find house to live IN and have t.
AXE an automobile garage or something
like that, and some of these garages don't
have any heat 10 Them except gas and no
light except electricity; an awful place to
live Of course. But without joking, when
wife and went out to look for a house
every thing was so high we decided to just
make out with one room, so we rented the
room aud within few weeks we decided
the rent was more than We could afford, so
We put partit ion in the room and sub
rented one half of il to another family and
We stood it very well until tie other family
began to take in boarders.
Best wishes to all "home 20 mers."
