ORCKR COUNTY.
OrMr county occupies a unique place In
the blatory of the counties of the United State*.
Considered aa formerly, a pari of Teiaa, It
haa maintained an exlatence under four eep^
urate flaca; one atate and one territory,
towlt: Spain, Mexico, Te*aa the United Staten.
ihe State of Toxaa and laal the Territory of
Oklahoma; It haa been the aubject of three
international treaties and a ault In the au-
preme court of the United States. Ita bounda-
rlea were lixod before that of any other county
west of the MiaalnBlppl river; north, eaat and
south lines having been Axed by mother na-
ture In the daya when the world was young
and the western line by treaty with Spain
about 86 years ago. Always a paradise, it waa
formerly the paradise of the buffalo, elk, anti-
lope, etc. and the Indian hunters as well, who
flocked here for the means of subsistence. Later
it became the paradise of the cattle men, who
found here the most abundant range and the
most Ideal surroundings for their business.
Now it is becoming the paradise of the man
with the hoe, who like those having gone be-
fore, after using the paradise for their purpos-
es, finds like they, that the most desirable soil
and climatic conditions surround them to be
had by any people. Like all new countries its
development has been slow, having been delay*
ed, first by clouded titles, while a part of the
state of Texas, second, by lack of railroad fa-
cilities and by lack of capital for development
purposes, all of which opposing obstacles have
been left behind. It now ranks second and
third in population and taxable values, of Ok-
lahoma counties. No county in the United
States can produce, more plentifully or profi-
tably, so great a variety of farm, garden and
orchard products as Greer county, as will be
evidenced bv a visit to the Farmers' Institute
Fair at the beautiful City of Altus, situated in
the heart of that great, beautiful and fertile
valley which stretches from Red river on the
south to the Wichita mountains on the north.
Come to Altus October 23, 24. Receive a roy-
al welcome and an educational treat. Come,
see and be convinced .
