HISTORY AND OTHER THINGS.

Dear Daddy Jim: | have been a
silent reader of our Post Card Club
for some time, and thought I would
ask for admitance into the happy
band. I hope none of the Cousins
will make eyes at me, for this is my
first attempt. I live on the farm,
and enjoy country life. My father
takes The Jeffersonian, and thinks
Mr. Watson is doing a great work.
I certainly enjoy the P. G. c.; and
am glad the Cousins are asking new
questions. I will now answer few
of Lawton Lynn's questions: The
founder of the church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, or so-called
Mormons" was founded through
revelations given Joseph Smith, the
Prophet of the Church. He was born
in Sharon, Windsor County, Vermont,
December 23, 1906. He received
his first revelation at the age Of fif
teen years. The church was organ
lied, April 6, 1880. The first negro
slaves were brought to this country
in 1890. Ruth Lee, yours is, Chicago
ruined by fire in October, 1871. JnO.
B. Gordon was born July 6,1832.
Thomas Edison was the first inventor
of the electric light. I will close by
asking a few questions: What book
is there in the Bible that does not
mention Jehovah or His son? Why
were the early inhabitants of the
American continents called Indians?
What is their origin and their prop
er name? What are the two oldest
settlements in the United States?
What young minister from England
first preached to the Colcnists and
Indians in Georgia? To the one an
swering these questions, I will send
a card. Your new friend, GERTIE
HOUZE, Meigs, Ga.

Dear Daddy Jim and Cousins: AS
this is the first time for me to try to
write, | will ask permission to join

The Jeff for some time, and the more
we read it, the better we like it.

thoughts on the subject of woman

are good ones: The answer to the
first is northwest of Scotland. The
second is northeast of Canada. The
third was Oct. s and 9, 1871, the
fourth, in the year, 1888. The an
swer to the fifth is, the electric light
was first invented by Humphrey
Davy, but the incandescent light was
afterwards brought into use by
Thomas Edison. l am going to look
for those cards, now. l will close as
my letter has begun to get a little

the Cousins. A new Cousin, Ben A.

SOME BIBLE QUESTIONS.

Dear Daddy Jim: How are you all
enjoying the new year? Papa takes
The Jeff and several other papers,
but we all like The jeff best of all.
We are all foolish about Mr. Watson.
He sure is great man. Some of the
people say he is crazy, and that he
does not know what he is talking
about and that he is telling lies on
Hoke Smith, but itIalways happens to
be Smith men that talk that way.
This is what I say about it: If Hoke
Smith was not guilty of these things
that Mr.. Watson has told, why does
he not take it up and have something
done with Mr.. Watson, and why does
he not answer Mr.. Watson's letter,
and the other letters that have been
sent him? Just simply because he
knows he is guilty. I see most Of
you Cousins are. tired of riddles, and
want to ask Bible and history ques-
tions. I think it would be best to
have both, don't you Daddy Jim?
Will close by asking some Bible ques-
tions: Who was it that healed the
woman of the bloody issue and raised
from death the daughter of Jairus?
Why did the Pharisees find fault
with the Disciples? How did they
break the commandme of the Lord?
What does Christ say about divorce
ment? In what chapter is the Lords
prayer? Who was it that baptized
Christ? Who can tell what the Pass
over is? To the ones who answer
these correctly, I will send card.
May Mr. Watson and Daddy Jim be
blessed in their work. Yours for The
Jeffs, CARRIE BROWN, Gordon, Ga.

FROM ALABAMA.

Dear Daddy jim: Will you admit
another little Alabama girl into your
happy band of boys and girls? My
brother takes The jeff and I read the
letters Of the Cousins in the Post
Card Club with much interest. I am
going to school now, and I like it for
we have good teacher. Now I will
tell you how look, so that the Cous-
ms will know me: 1 am four feet,
five inches high, dark complexion,
light hair and brown eyes. I live in
the country and like it very much,
only I have to walk so far to school.
Now Daddy jim, 1 want you to be
sure and print this, for if I see it in
print, I will write little longer let
ter next time, and ask the Cousins
some questions. Your loving Ala

QUESTIONS FROM FLORIDA.

Dear Cousins: I guess you think
l am getting to be a frequent visitor,
but I will not take much room, so
hope Daddy Jim will not run me out
this time. I have received some an
swers to my last letter. One card I
received that the True Democrat was
correct in saying Mr. Watson was a
violent lunatic was signed by three
persons, their names being so blurr-
ed with ink that I could not read
them, neither did they give their post
office. Guess they were ashamed of
their names and postoffices, too. But
when the editor of the True Demo-
crat is through reading one of the
letters sent me, he will take a back
seat and sit down. Warner Blakley,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-02-02
FROM A NAMESAKE.

Dear Daddy jim: 1 thought I
would write you a few lines this
morning. We are blowing in middle
Georgia to-day. I will answer some
questions: Matte Kate Smith, your
first one is an attack on Fort Sum-
ter, S. G. ETC., found on page $50 of
Fields History of the United States.
1t was battered to ruin, but left in
the hands of the Confederates. The
South lost the Fort, and the North
lost their time and ammunition de-
stroying it. Your second one is
Chester A. Arthur. If I am right I
shall expect that post card. With
best wishes, I am your friend,

Dahlias and cannas may be kept
over winter in the ordinary cellar.
Cut off the tops when killed by frost
Lift the clumps with a spade or fork
Shake off the loose soil, but let the
rest adhere. If the cellar is dry,
warm, and we'll drained, the clumps
may be set in loose layer directly
on the floor; but if the cellar is
| damp. the roots should be placed in a
loose layer on rack of old boards or
lath, raised some distance from the
floor. In the spring, the large clumps
are taken out, separated, and put to
sprout in a hotbed or under the
greenhouse benches.
The Lawn.
AS long as the grass continues to
grow, the lawn should be clipped; but
set the mower to cut rather high.
This helps to thicken up the grass
close to the roots, where it needs the
winter protection. This winter plan
manure; or, il this cannot be had, use
COW manure, with little or no trash.
Contrary to belief, the litter adds no
protective feature when the growth of
grass has been treated as above; and
the fertilizing value of the clear ma
nure Is far superior to that from vast
amounts of trash.
Parsley in Winter.
A fine supply of parsley can be had,
for winter use, by lifting several
plants and placing them in a small
box of soil in a sunny cellar window.
Treat as one would house plants.
Storing Vegetables.
1t is not too late to make an out
side root and vegetable cellar for the
winter. Keeping such in cellars un-
der living rooms is very unsanitary,
and usually unsatisfactory. The tenn
perature must be so high and the air
so dry that the products so kept lack
the crispness and flavor that go with
a high edible quality. When kept in
an outside pit or cellar, these features
are corrected, and the roots and vege-
tables may be brought into the house
cellar regularly in small amounts
Savings Bank Hints.
Rutabagas, beets and carrots may
not be of great money value to the
grower just at present. Perhaps he is
planning to let them rot or to feed
them to the stock. But indications
are that they will be worth from rs
cents to 81 per bushel before spring.
Such has been the case for many past
seasons. They can be kept perfectly
in an easily constructed pit or root
cellar, taken out in late winter, and
turned into neat bit OF spending
money
