Greta May Jefferson was going
travelling. Greta liked travelling. This
time she was taking a real grown-up
Journey, for she was travelling all

Greta's aunt lived in Chatham, about
sixty miles away. She said size would
be at the Chatham station to meet her,
and, II her father saw her safely on the
train, she would see her safely off, so
there was really no reason why Greta
should not take the journey alone. At
last Greta was sitting in the train all
alone. waving goodbye through the
car window to her father on the sta

I once knew q boy by the name Of

10 years Of age. I never knew him to
say a cross word to his mother or faith

pleasant word for everybody. He never
went any place without his parents.
permission and never disobeyed them
nor ever told a falsehood. One day
neighbor boy named Andrew who never
had smile or pleasant word for any
body wanted Albert to go fishing, but
Albert's mother said that he could not
go this time This disappointed Andrew
so he tried to get Albert to run off but
Albert was too honest to go and did not
go. II you would like to know what be-
came Of them I will tell you. Andrew
joined a party Of uamps and Albert
became prominent business man.

Writes Good Letter

Dear Juniors: As l haven't been
writing for quite awhile thought ]
would write on the subject of picnic,
1t was last Fourth Of July we had a
picnic In Mr.. Leare's pasture. 1t was
out in the shady woods down by the
pond. The people began gathering
about half past nine or ten o'clock in
the morning. r..
Some men brought some ice there,
and we had Ice water and lemonade to
drink. They also had swings, croquet
sets and ball games.
In the morning the young men
played croquet then they went to
swing and the children played croquet.
The old men and women would
talk, tell tales and joke. Then we
had our dinner. After dinner we went
to play again.
We then went to the ball game.
After watching them a few hours the
friends began to part, some going one
way, some going another. Everybody
had joyous time.
My mother is in FarsOn and Ottum-
wa, a., visiting relatives and old ac-
quaintances.
Her name is Mrs. w. A. Nelson.
She has two sisters and two brothers.
Her sisters names are Mrs. s. e.
Woodruff and Mrs. g.. w. Davis. They
both live in Farson.
Her brothers names are Eliza Van.

Her oldest brother and sister are
dead.
We began picking cotton Monday
morning. We have got % acres to
pick yet.
Fifteen to sixteen hundred pounds

but seldom get 800 for It.

nice it would be to stop and look at
the trees. There were some great large
trunks and some were breaking down
and some were split into. I suppose the
wind had broken the dead ones down.
It looked bad to see the trees broken
down when once they were loaded with
nice ripe fruit / suppose the man will
let the good tree stand and chop the
dead ones UP into wood.
