Letter from Former Resident

{ The following letter was received
from Mrs. Nellie Ellis I.avendar of
Fort Worth, Texas, formerly of this
town.
Il saw very few pine trees after
l left Maine and there was no snow
in Massachusetts. but as we neared
New York State l found more snow
than there was in Maine and it was
still showing very hard.
las we passed through Ohio it
was raining hard. but this was a very
interesting country. The land
seemed to be pretty level and the
loan was very dark. A great corn
and wheat country, and the fields
were full of partly harvested corn
They husk it in the fields and pillow
the stocks under. l saw piles of vel
low corn everywhere and the fields
were all full of winter wheat, the
stalks four or six inches tall.
In Ohio l saw lots of bronze tur-
keys and big droves of swine, mostly
Of the black breeds.
IN Indiana things were the same.
only no rain. Very foggy, and as
we neared st. Louis on the second
day OF my journey, we crossed the
Mississippi river. l noticed how
black and muddy the water was. and
the pullman porter told me if was
always so. 1t is never clear like our
Maine rivers, and it carries thou
sands Of acres of fertile soil from its
banks to the sea every year.
In Oklahoma. as we Travelled I
noticed the woods; miles and miles
OF trees that looked like our native
oaks. L Thought of the states name.
and how appropriate it was, Okla
homa.
Here I saw lots of queer looking
people tenting olt. with the funniest
looking covered cars. All had eNlcr
horses or mules. The soil here
looked like red brick. In color I
should say it was red. They were
farming, blowing and road building,
using mostly mules to do the work.
AS the train passed through q VIII
lage l looked out in time to see a
large rose busli in full bloom. AS
we neared Texas 1 was glad to know
that my journey would soon be at
an end.
