Dear Editor and the Herald Family:
Will you allow me space in your val
liable paper for little chat? How
are you, one and all? I am getting
along fine. Am now in the school
business trying to behave myself the
best / can, teaching school near
Grenville. This is certainly fine,
level, pretty country, about 5000 feet
above sea level, and cool country
it is. We have already had two little
SHOWS. They tell me there is only
two months without frost. They
raise lots of cattle here. Farming is
fine, but the seasons are very short
sure, while they make lots OF every
thing, and make it so easy. You can
wear a coat here most any day in the
summer with comfort.
This, of course, is new country
The people are certainly sociable and
well to do. They are improving very
rapidly. Many live in their under
ground houses, but are coming out IN
their nice, new houses every year. !,
People take great interest in school
work and they are soon going to have
fine schools for they have a good deal
of money and pay very good wages
for teachers.S While its true every
thing is high here and it costs some
thing to live.
anyone wanting to locate in a coun
try where they can build themselves
up with the country can't very well
beat this, for there is demand for
good teachers. And another thing
If you like to dance, be sure and come
for they have them almost every
night. We have a lot of pretty girls
that can ride these Western ponies
and dance. My, it's sin to the cats
Now of course, some of these things
I don't like very much, but can't hell
it. For everything, I like Tennessee
the better, while young man car
make more money here in the West
Mexicans and white people go t(
school and associate with each other
Soon as / get my debts paid, and II
shape mean to come back and finisf
my college course anyway.
Any of you Tennessee boys wantlns
fine looking Mexican girl, come ou
and I'll give you one of mine: BY 10
they are pretty, too, but love th'
smiles of the dear Tennessee girls.
With best wishes to one and all.

BIuebird Feature At Bonita.

Rupert of Hentzau,v a five-part
Bluebird feature and sequel to An
thony Hopes famous prisoner OF
Zenda," will be featured at the Bonita
today. Those who saw "The Prisoner
of Zenda" will recall how handsome
young Englishman was elevated to
the throne of Ruritania, because OF
the rightful king being held prisoner
by his ancient enemy, Rupert of Hent-
Eau. So remarkable was the resem-
blance between the EngIishman and
the real king, that even Queen F1avia
did not realize the substitution until
after the coronation. The feature al
the Bonita begins with an incident
which proves that Queen Flavia still
loves the Englishman, and how the
lovers are finally united is being told
in five stirring acts with intensely In.
teresting incidents.
Tomorrow the Mutual Master pic
ture, "a Souls Cycle" will be fea-
tured at the Bonita.
