Dear Editor and Friends in the So- cial Corner: Tempus fugit! Here we find ourselves sending contributions for the Fourth Anniversary of our dear little Corner as we used to call it. iMethinks We will have to drop the word little unless as a term of en- dearment.
 Hope Centennial Square. who we have not heard from in a long time. will be on hand to help celebrate our anniversary.
 Am glad Married and Happy has sufficiently recovered to be able to leave the hospital.
 Witch Hazel has my deepest sym pathy because of her not being able to write and having no one to write for her.
 Would like to send messages to many others. but realize that space in our Corner is precious.
 I, too, have the housekeeping fever and am only waiting to finish this to make a grand beginning.

I believe the Social Corner was one year and a half old a live wire. If you once take hold 1t IS hard to let go. I have saved every paper since I began to write and they are as choice as gold.

Our influence can be felt in this way and do good. No one knows better than ourselves of the good derived from the letters.

  cationai. I have met and made new acquaintances. I have found old friends through the Corner that were lost to me. As the Corner reaches far and near we have a chance to learn about different states and their do- ings
 The interest taken in it shows how 1t prospers. If the Corner started with only a half dozen writers, we can't say 1t stopped there, for the writers will number into the hun dreds. So may it continue.
 Let us do our best to make it in structive and more interesting.
 Some have given three cheers for the Social Corner. I say let's alto gether give three cheers for the Editor for ever starting such a proposition. I propose we give him a standing vote of thanks and may he be able to edit The Corner for a good many years to come.
