Dear Children:
Next week T start on my vacation,
and will, as usual, send you messages
from every place I stop.
This year my first stop will be
Asheville, N. c.. During rlany years
Of my girlhood I visited through
eastern California, but never had the
good fortune to be in the mountains.
Quite a number of our band of
cousins live in that part of the state
and their letters have added to my
desire to visit this beautiful place
Will write you my impressions
later. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
I have received the announcement
of the marriage Of one Of the COUSINS
and know GU will all want to join
me in hearty congratulations. The
announcement reads as follows:
Miss LESSEE Rebecca Carlock and
Mr.. Simon Peterson married on Sat-
urday, the 18th of June, 1922, at
Helena, Ga.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I love to
write letters: they come like sunshine to
one S soul. The talks are so delightful that
| can't resist the temptation to write. An
inner consciousness tells me that Aunt
Julia will print my letter, even though 1
have written before. 1 love to read letters
from those whose ideals correspond with
mine, but just SO do 1 love to read of ideals
IN conflict with mine, for 1 always learn
something. new from those letters. Some
letters, dear cousins, actually make me
teens, just full of pep and try to get the
most and best out of life. love all things
beautiful, and those of nature appeal to
me most. 1 believe with the poet, that
all the best things in life are free. How
many of the cousins believe that? I am
happy to say that I live in a land of sun
shine and flowers, and on farm Of about
90O acres. We have pretty home and
ure. Alabama can boast of as pretty seen
cry as almost any state. Of course, our
home is the most beautiful place to all of
us. If 1T isn't: there is something wrong.
But my idea of home is not fine buildings
alone, but any place kept neat and clean
filled with pure air, sunshine, music and
and magazines. Then there are only three
things that are really worth while: to do
good, to be good, and always to smile.
love good books, and am reading "Pilgrim's
to meet you. If the world had few more
women like you, how different some of our
| lives would be! 1 always try to find some
thing good to do that will help Others If
any little word Of mine would make a life
the brighter, If any little song of mine may
make heart the lighter, God help me speak
| the little word, and take my bit of singing
and drop it in some lonely vale, to set the
| echoes ringing. l would like to say more
| but fear have broken the rule and stayed
| too long already. All you cousins write.
will close with love and best wishes:
MAMIE GLENN.
The rain is gently falling down
AT this moment of greeting to you.
| Do any of you cousins stop to think
What good these rains can do?
Now I must go,
But happy and contented I'll be
If there's one or two cousins in cur Box
Who will with me agree.
Aunt Julia, I hope you will print this.
wish l could express myself better, but
there are not many of us who can write
what we feel, can we2 I am sure there
are some cousins who feel like me about
| the country, and I want to hear from them.
Aunt Julia, why not let some of the cousins
write more little stories for our page
like those we had a while back? I like
them better than most letters. do believe
some of the cousins just copy nearly all of
their letters after the other cousins, seems

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here comes
new cousin to join your happy band of
boys and girls. have been reading the let
ters in The Journal for some time, and en-
joy it very much. I live on the farm and
like it just fine. I can do almost anything
on the farm as eembroidering, taatting, GRO
cheting, etc, and l do all kinds of fancy
work like watering the horses, blowing,
splitting wood, etc. What do you cousins
do for fun these warm days? 1 go fishing,
swimming and play fots of outdoor games.
am sixteen years old and a blonde. All
of you cousins write to me. I will assure
you an answer. Your new cousin,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: will you
admit two North Carolina boys into your
happy band? We enjoy reading the letter
COX very much, so we have decided to try
to join your circle. Guess most Of you cous-
warm summer days. We both live in the
country and, of course, we prefer country
life to city. If any of you care to write us,
we will assure you an answer. Address

Frank, N. c.,
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please permit me to enter your circle this
pleasant afternoon. 1t has been so long
since wrote before suppose most Of you
have forgotten me. I have been teaching
school since then and sure do like it, For
it is so interesting and the children seem
to think so much of their teacher. I don't
see why any teacher can keep from enjoying
to help them. Oh, 1T is so lovely out of
doors in the bright cunshine, where the birds
are singing so cheerfullly and you can smell
the sweet perfume of different kinds of
flowers in the cool breeze. 1 certainly like
flowers, and I think it is more pleasant to
live in the country than the city, for you
can enjoy the beautiful things of nature
more in the country. Cousins, write more
about your country. For we "who live in
this part of North Carolina would like to
hear from different parts Of North Carolina
and also more about other states. This
| is flat country along the coast. The chief
| crops are cotton and potatoes. SO you,
mountaineers see we have 1t quite different
| here near the ocean from what some Of
you do. l am twenty years old l would
| like to stay longer but l will not be selfish.
| So I will let someone else talk awhile. Some
| of you cousins write to me. Lovingly,
EVA STEWART.
