Nursery, Texas.-Dear Huppyhammcrs
live In the Sunny South, amid poetical hills
and meauderlng streams, whore the soft.
gentle zephyrs come soughing In from over
the broad expanse Of prairie, laden with
the perfume of fragrant flowers. | live about
mile and half from Nursery, aud hve
miles from Guadalupe river. 1t Is on the
erass.covered banks of this river, beneath
the friendly shade ~ large, tan trees whose
ontstretched branches are covered with the
wiry grape vines that are heavily laden
with the luscious fruit, that we have our
picnics. And such a gay, merry lot OF
folks are gathered together on this occasion.
There Is long. wide bridge that extends
across the ripplv waters Of the river and
its graceful pinnacles reach tnr up into the
blue dome Of heaven. II is on this bridge
that the Young folks flock together au1
march up and down till their noisy steps
ore drowned by yells from the troicsome
Boys that almost make the leaves on the
trees tremhle In the afternoon the boys
made swings for the girls and are gallant
enough 10 swing them; then their merry
laughs reverberate from the hills 10 the
valleys. Ike the songs OF the mockinChirds.
Say little Hap Ginerva, allow me to con

contest question | don't know that l
fully agree on the woman you mentioned
but the idea as to her real worth Is what

this be your last visit You have quite an
imaginative mind Well, have stayed long
enough so must hurry home, will call again
soon. Quahel.
