The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1903-04-27

man who can work is a comfort in time
of trouble and staff on which to lean
in adversely Let no living person decry
the country TO live in pure atmos-
phere, to see daily unfolding before the
eye the wonderful problem of the sea-
sons, old but ever new to watch the sun
rise and the sunset tinge the mountain
tops with the light no ARTISTS brush can
Eever initiate, to love the gentle animals.

nay come to us when the glad new HE
opens up to us in the mystical beyond!
Love to Aunt Susie and cousins.
