COLWELL from GAINESVILLE, TEXAS June 5th Probably some of the readers of The Leader would like to peruse a few lines from this part of Texas. This is north central Texas. It is about seven miles from here to the Indian Territory. Gainesville is a thriving little town and has a population of about 10,000. I noticed not long ago where there were three coaches of Russians passing through Texas enroute for Kansas and Missouri, where they will buy land and locate. Farmers are very badly behind with their work in this part of Texas. But very little cotton has been chopped. There has been so much rain that most all of the farmers have the blues. Oats and wheat have been damaged on account of so much rain. Harvest time is at hand. The farmers lost their oats and wheat last year on account of rain and they are afraid they will lose again this year. E.F.
