The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1903-07-06


not allow them to disobey. for the first
impressions made on them are lasting.
You may notice the dlsobedlent chlidreh
as thsy step out of childhood into man
hood and womanhood. They are wild ana
reckless and lacking in moral element
which is the most important in life
Some go out into the world as models
but thew do not realize what harm they
are doing and how many innocent ives
they arc misleading until it Is too late
We are all liable to make mistakes in
life. But soon as they are discovered
they should be corrected without delay.
We must remember we are watched by
One who watches us all through life and
notes our kind and unkind deeds. There
fore, we should strive each day to do
better, for He will see what we will come
to in the end

Edna IL. Bell. Morton, M1ss.-Dear
Junior: As Aunt Susie requests we Jun
iCrs to write on some bird, fish or some
thing | thought / would tell of Whlppoor-
will
Although the whippoorwills are plenI-
full in the south, it is a very hard mat
to
only fly about late in the evening. They
are a slender bird. of brown color with
white spots on breast and wing. Their
head is shaped something like the hawk.
They build their nest on the smooth
glound-dont have a stick or particle OF
tlash about it. l have seen more nests
in the open field on the clean ground
than anywhere. They lay two eggs.
The eggs are brown with white specks
on them They are called whippoorwill
because of the peculiar way they have
o; holering. They never boiler during
the winter months. and holler only at
night. AS soon as spring comes you can
hear them hollering all the night.
Well, as this is my first letter. ] sup

of June and you get real cold when you
leave the fire. That is something strange
for south Mississippi. They celebrated
jefferson Davis birthday the Sd of June
by laying the corner stone of the state
capitol and having an old soldiers state
reunion at Jackson. Miss.
| went to Jackson. | think every house
in the city was decorated in red. white
and blue. There was great many old
soldiers. 1t was a sad sight to see the
Old gray headed veterans and the Old
battle-scarred flags. ! visited the monu-
ment erected to the memory of the sol
diers ana sailors who fell in the war be-
tween the states. This monument was
built through the efforts of some of Mis-
s.ssippis women, There is some beauti-
full inscriptions to the women written on
the wall inside of the vault. In the vault
is life-size statue of jefferson Davis.
ard on the topmOst pinnicle of the mon
ument is a confederate soldier. l saw
the cannon that was captured by Jeffer-
son Davis during the with Mexico.
. enjoyed watching the United Sta tes
soldiers march and drill. They all look
ed SO nice in their uniforms Though
the rain fell most all day, everyone went
on as though it wasn't raining | en-
joy letters of description, but the Jun
Tors from this part of cd Mississippi
haven't any scenery except fields of cot
ton, and this is not a very pretty pic
turc to us
Would be glad to receive some nice.
Interesting letters from the cousins
