/ have plenty Of pretty flowers. have not many
pets. | have u pair of white bantam chickens;
they are white snow; their names are Carry
and Joe.
1t has been mighty bad weather; 1t rains nearly
every day. 1t is very lonesome in this part of the
country, so have not much news to tell.
l would like some of the cousins to correspond
with me, especially from the south.
Clarence Newborn and Walter Harding, John
sons Mill, n. C.-Somebody said the girls we're
getting afraid of the boys; that will never do SO
we two together this time.
We like the girls very much, but don't like for
them to get ahead of us.
We live the Neuse river and enjoy going
hunting down there. We stayed on the ice several
hours waiting for the ducks, but alas they never
came. Our church was burned last year and we
have services once month in our academy.
We would like to correspond with some OF the
cousins, especially girls.
L. II. Saddler, Hickory, Miss.-I have long been
well wsher but never could before muster up
enough courage to write. My father is an old sub
scrber of the good old Constitution, so you see that
have been reading the cousins letters nearly as
long as am old. have pets except nice little
pony and good old opossum dog.
Aunt Susie was right, when III her imagination
she saw the boys racing the rabbits in the snow
but they didn't get away every time.
We boys made raid for the coons as well as the
rabbits, and we killed fortysix in one day. All
that have been coon hunting know what fun we
had.
Correspondents solicited.

Many of the cousins tell about so mucn snow
