BREAKING SILENCE.

Dear Daddy Jim: After keeping
silent for three months, I really
think | might have just a little say
now, though I haven't anything very
interesting to relate this time. Will
try not to write as long letter as 1
did before. Daddy Jim thought my
other letter SO long that he left out
a part Of it. l have heard you speak
twice Mr.. Watson, since l wrote last,
once in Louisville and once in Spread.
[ enjoyed it very much. I am not go
ing to school this term, as we failed
to get a teacher for our school, but
am going to start after Christmas in
Louisville. My two little brothers,
and l will ride, as we live too far to
walk. Well, how are you Cousins.
standing these cold days? I do not.
like it very much, as have to stay
in the house too much. I spent
several days, very pleasantly, this
month with a friend of mine at
Spread. My grandfather has been
quite sick for long time, but I am
glad to say that he is much better
now. Daddy Jim, the photo that
Mr.. Watson sent me of himself, l
had enlarged, and like it very much.
I wish I had one of Mrs. Watson also.
Well, I guess I had better bring
this to a close, as | promised not to,
stay too long. If this is not printed,
no one will be disappointed, but

BIBLE QUESTIONS.

Dear Daddy Jim I saw my first
letter in print, so thought I would
write again. I will describe the place
in which | live: It is about one
half mile from our camp ground
| remember hearing some of the
old friends say that Mr.. Watson
spoke at the Bethlehem Camp-ground
several years ago. They used to
hold camp-meeting there, but there
has not been one there since I can
remember. The cemetery is nearly
on the p-ground. 1t has several
graves of men who fought in the
Confederate Army. I will now ask
some bible questions: Whom did
Jesus take to a mountain to pray?
At what age was Jesus when He was
crucified? How long did Jesus lie
in the grave? What two church days
do We celebrate for this cause? To
the one who answers these correctly,
| will send post card. I will answer
some questions: The answer to
Sallie Marshalls question is the
Widows Mite, and the other one is
the Wicked flea. I will ring off for
fear of the waste basket. 1 remain,
yours respectfully, WESLEY COOK,
Bethlehem, Ga.

MORE HISTORY.

Dear Daddy jim: Will you admit
little Georgia girl into your happy
band of boys and girls? L have
written before and didn't see my
letter in print, so hope this one will
escape the old waste basket. l am
taking my vacation now. How many
of you Cousins like music? I do,
and we have a piano. I can play a
little. [ think the boys should have
a good education as we'll as the girls.
[ will close by answering and asking
some questions: Wesley Cook, your
first one is Columbus. Your second
one was Oct. II, 1892. Willie Ayers,
your first one is "Whst God hath
wrought" Claudia Eleonart, yours is
Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Mass, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New Hampshire Penn
sylvania, Delaware, New York, New
Jersey and Georgia. Now if l am
right [ shall expect a card from all
of you. What were some of the
Naval operations of 1868? State
the losses on both sides, and the
debt incurred. What president was
elected by the Democrats before
Cleveland? To the girl or boy who
answers these questions correctly,
| will send a card. Love to the Cous-
ms and Daddy Jim. MATTE KATE

BOYS SHOULD HAVE THE BEST

Dear Daddy Jim: Please admit a
Georgia boy into your happy band of
boys and girls. I am eleven years
old. l take The Jeffersonian and en-
JOY it so much. | have a Tom Watson
knife which I am very proud Of Say,
boys, don't you think Mr.. Watson is
fine man? l sure do. I wish I
could some day be as great as he is.
l live on a large farm and go to
school in the country. I think all
boys and girls should have good ed
ucation, but think the boys should
have the best. I will ask some his
tory questions: What Presidents
administration was called "The Era
of good feelings? The three great
trios? Who was called "Old Hick-
ory"? What taught the gentleman
to swing the ak? I will close by
wishing Mr.. Watson, Daddy Jim and

LIKES FLOWING.

Dear Daddy Jim: Will you admit.
another Georgia boy into your hap.
Ply band? l am fourteen years old.
| will tell you about my work on
the farm. l run a Dick Pillow and /
tell you it is fine to ride Dick pillow
pulled by three twelve-hundred-
pound mules, and see the dirt roll
over about ten inches deep. I GER
tainly do enjoy farm life. When it
rains at this time of the year, we
can go rabbit hunting in the day and
'possum hunting at night. If | see
this in print l will tell more about
my blowing next time. Papa takes,

THE BEST PAPER.

Dear Daddy jim: Here I come
for the third time. Papa takes The
Jeffersonian, and I think it is the,
best paper that was ever printed in
Georgia, and know that Mr.. Watson
is the greatest man that ever lived.
Some of you Cousin say that you
don't like riddles, but do still there
are some things I like better. Now ,
will ask riddle; what is the longest
and yet the shortest thing in the
world; the swiftest and the most
slow, the most Invisible and the most
extended; the least valued and the
most regretted; without which moth
ing can be done, which devours every
thing, however small, and yet gives
life and spirit to all things however
great? With best wishes to Daddy
Jim and the Cousins, I am your
friend, AMOS ADAMS.

HISTORY RIDDLES.

Dear Daddy Jim: Here 1 come

gested that I write again and de-
scribe myself, I will do so. I am
fifteen years old, 1 weigh one hun
dred and ninety pounds, am five
feet nine inches tall, have dark
hair, blue eyes and very fair COM
plexion. I wish that the Mississippi
Singing Bird would tell her name
and describe herself I sure did en-
joy her letter. 1 will close by an
swering and asking some questions
and riddles. Willie Lang, George
Washington married a widow, with
dark brown eyes and hair, and pleas
