My Dearest Fred: have been
thinking of you and the old folks at
home today, and thought few lines
from me might be appreciated, and as
paye nothing to do am going to visit
, IN you. In the first place, perhaps,
IT would be we'll for me to describe
this city in which we live. Hatties-
burg is one of the fastest growing
towns in the state of Mississippi, and
has a population of over 10000. 1t is
noted for the civic pride manifested
by its citizens, it's well kept streets
and its many industries. 1t is, also,
quite a railroad center-having four
railroads running through it. 1t is
the home of the Mississippi Central
their repair shops being located here
besides the general offices of the com
pany.
One can buy necessities of life here
as cheap as in any larger city, ana
the merchants carry as large a STOCK
as can be found in the big cities, but
perhaps you would be more interest
ed if should tell you about building
our home and our daily life. When
We came here and decided to build a
home oil our own. there were plenty
y ~ desirable lots to be mad
most any price Therefore
we decided to secure some
r..aUI- real estate agents advice up
u dire -lbiect and we're referred to

,.. estate values. Through nm We
secured q very fine lot at a reasoha
lille price He assisted us in securlhs
decd and in getting a clear title
and it was a pleasure to do business
with him. If you are contemporaries
pr,.;ng to Hattiesburg, you will nn'
him a good man to meet and DO pusi
ness with. for his knowledge OF rea
s.t,te : remarkable. Then,
couse. we looked about for con
tractor whom we could depend upon
ora who ills his contracts in a worn
man.Hke manner. We called upo'
Mr. T. O. Eure, whose reputation as
81 -,rtroctor has no equal in this city
! tvnd told him what we wanted ,' an
p closed a contract with him 10 pun
,.- nome. He did his work in such
.1.,,,or.lile manner that we wef
nle,sed. and his plans were SO CON
-. that George said he could ne
5isn1aved more interest if 1t ma
aeon his own home he was bullalh'
A. nj, price did not include masonr
.,ri, wa looked around for a maso
who had a reputation gained by II
III. hare We were referred to M
NJ Hendrix, and we can certain
n,ark our friends for recommehoii

tor in securing his services lor y

.r,,r of course, we looked arou
fer plumber-one we eouiu uepe
,,non to do his share OF the wo'A
a'o11 as the rest had done. we we
roferred to Mr.. W. M. lrby' wno
