This July 3,1901 B A Butler C & M ****************************************************************************** FROM INDIAN TERRITORY. CLAREMORE, I. T. July 2 Editor Stentinel, Gainesboro, Tenn. Having noticed letters in your paper from several of the boys from the good county of Jackson and believeing that I have a few friends there would like to hear from me, I thought I would write to you and let the people know that I had not been killed in any of the Indian fights. I will not attempt to give a full history of this country as I am not at a familiar with it myself, but will say that this is about the poor man country one can strike. Work is plentful and wages are pretty fair; but when the country is opened up things will be much better. Farms, and good ones are plentiful but owning to the unsettled state of affairs a man is taking great chances in renting just now. It thought by some that matters will be arranged by fall so that the renter will have some chance. Claremore is a nice little town of about 1700 inhabitants, lying near the center of the Cherokee Nation, and considered one of the best business town in the Territory. It has two railroads - The Missouri Pacific at the Frisco - one large flour mill, about 21 stores, one branch packing house, bakery, bank, 2 hotels, 1 weekly, 1 daily paper, 2 schools - the Cherokee and the Public school, and other business enterprises too numerous to mention. The beauty of Clremore is that out of the 1700 inhabitants, over 1500 are white people instead of Indian. This be---the Indian Territory, one would naturally suppose that it was made up mostly of Indians, but such is not the case. is very seldom one sees a full blooded Indian. Of course there are quite number of full bloods through the hills but they never come to town. They are content to stay on their own hunting grounds, but if you chance to meet one he is as kind hearted as can be. I noticed in last week's paper a letter from Ben A Fox, from Onalaska, Ark. in which he gives the names of several of the boys there, and if either of them chance to see this, I hope they will not loose any time in writing to me. I worked on the Claremore Progress up till two weeks ago, when I resigned my position there and accepted another with the Sanger Milling Co. as day watchman. One of my sisters works for the Claremore Lumber Co., the other is book-keeper in the Star store. My younger brother is working at the barber shop and makes a pretty good wages. I wish to say to John GORE that I for got to enclose a stamp when I wrote to him and am sure that is the reason he did not answer. I get The Sentinel every Sunday and I can assure you it is thoroughtly read from headlines to patent medicine ads. With kindest regards to all my old friends, and wishing abundant success for The Sentinel. I am yours truly, Sipio Young. *********************************************************** FROM TEXAS. PADUCAH, Tex., July 18 Editor SENTINEL: While looking over this western country I have thought that some one would like to know what had become of me. When I left Jackson county, Oct. 19, 1900. I went direct to Collin county, where I stopped with my Texas brother and remained there working on a farm for two months. From there I went to Scurry county, where I built seven houses, taking till the 10th of March, after which I returned to Collin where I help build another. After this I started to Cattle county in a wagon on a trip of 11 days. Two families of us had a nice time camping on the pararie. This writing finds me still in cattle county where the pararies are beautiful and covered fine cattle. It is quite a sight to see the cow boys round up the calves and brand them. Dear Jackson county girls and boys, write lots to the Sentinel for I always look for your writing. Tell me all the good news. I would like to have the pleasure of meeting any of you in west Texas. I must close this letter with best wishes to all my old Tennessee friends expecially Jackson county, as ever Your western brother O O Mayberry. ************************************************************************ LOCAL AND PERSONAL.
