It was the writer's poculiar
pleasure today (Friday) to moet
Messrs. M A and George Yost,
residents now of Oklahoma, who
drank from some of the same
springs, munched fruit from the
same trees, waded somo of the

patches of shrubbery that the
writer did in the days when, if
the horn did not blow 'when we
were hungry, we wpuld ' lean

Mrs. JVl A Yost, wlio is tho
youngest sister of Mrs. W Reece

leaving their two sons of 13 and
15 in their south. western home.
These gentlemen are sons of tho
late Mr. Alexander Yost, of No.

they entered the race f r a home
at tho opening of the Cherokee
strip of Oklahoma and made a
catch of a good farm.
Mr. Cieoige Yost followed
them 15 years ago and was pleas
ed. He came back a yoar later
and took with him a life com
panion, Miss Myers, to-be the
better half of his homo! He
stopped in Oklahoma and when
the opening occurred in 1889 se

he would perish about his native
