Billings, Okla, Told
Of Gathering Here
Of Old Citizens

l.. c. Brown, former newspaper
publisher of Billings, Okla. but now

Billings News, an account Of the
annual gathering of former Billings
folks now living in FL Jardin.
The article follows:
Had n Of you old timers OF
Billings or vicinity by chance been
suddenly dropped off iato the lower
valley OF the Rio Grande river or
Thanksgiving days ard stopped off

district, you could have hardly real
lied but what you had been taken
back several years in time and fairly
made to believe that you were in
the midst Of one Of the old-time
gatherings of homestead days in the
good old Cherokee Strip, for here on
this day were assembled, probably,
more citizens who helped in the up
building of Billings and vicinity
than could be assembled in the old
town itself.
Each year for six years past
Thanksgiving day has been looked
forward to by those who have set
tied in the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley from Billings and vicinity, also
from Noble and surrounding coun-
ties, as one of the gala times to
cherish in their memories, and this
Thanksgiving day was no exception
to the previous years. N,
