Dear Daddy Jime:-Here comes
little girl from Buloch county who
wants to join your happy band. This

must say that I would like very much
to see my first letter in print I like
to guess the riddles from the little
boys and girls in The Jeffersonian.
Now l will try to guess some of the
riddles: Gladys Bryan, yours is a
reap-hook. Theodore Childers, yours
is a road. I will close by asking
some riddles: (These riddles had all
been asked.-Daddy Jim.) I have
black hair, black eyes and dark COM

18th of August. With much love to
Daddy Jim and all of the Postcard

HOW many of you cousins have
thought what great man General
Lee was? Lee travelled with a bot
tie of rum back in Old Virginia in
1916 in the season of the year when
daisies commence to sprout. He
was on tour of inspection at Nor
folk, when one of his friends insisted
on making him a present of bottle
of brandy, remarking that he would
be certain to need it, and that he was
sure Lee could not get as good in
his. travels. General Lee thanked
him very much and took the brandy,
remarking, 81 know I will not need
it,. When he started out to the
Mexican war lady in Virginia insist
ed that he should take bottle of the
very best brand of whiskey with him.
He carried the bottle all through the
war, said he did not have the slight
est occasion to use it. and on his re-
turn sent it to his friend that she
might be convinced that he could
travel with a bottle of whiskey and
not drink it. Lee never drank strong
drink nor used tobacco, and he was
man of rare military genius He
had the courage of Caesar and
tender heart that bled for the wound
ed Federals as we'll as for the South
ern soldiers. How many of you
cousins were glad that Hoke Smith
was elected? l was for one. I guess
I had better close, as my letter is
getting long. I will ask a riddle and
few history questions, as some of
the cousins are getting tired of rid
dies: What portions of the Con-
federacy had been invaded by the
close of the second year of the war?
Why were the French willing to aid
the Americans in their efforts to gain
independence from British rule?
What part of America does Spain
now own? What part belongs to
England, to France, to Holland?
How was slavery abolished? With
all good wishes to Daddy Jim and
the cousins, your friend, Ellen Neis-
Ter, Reynolds, Ca, RI.
Ct don't know much about
politics, but your reference to
Hoke Smith and General Lees
unopened bottle of whiskey
brings to mind the fact that
Hoke Smith was for years the
owner of one of the largest,
most fashionable and most
profitab BILE saloons in Atlanta
