Friendly Meeting Place for All TWeekly Journal Readers

Hello, Aunt Julia and cousins! I wonder
what you all are doing these pleasant days.
l am a reader of The Tri- Weekly Journal,
and 1 must say it Is indeed a pleasure to
me to read the nice letters in the Letter
Box, so l decided to write few words,
as | want to get acquainted with all Won
cousins. |, like most of the cousins, live
on a farm. l live four miles from the town
of Bowling Park. Well, what do you
cousins do for pastime? l read, horseback
ride and chew cane and go boat riding. 1
live IA miles from the dear old Suwanee
but dear place. Oh, like to have forgot
my pet. She is a dear little poodle, black
and white, and her name is KeytOe. Well,
l had better so, for the sun is getting low.
hope to see this in print. Lovingly, your
new cousin,
LEoNA NEwMANs.

but am glad 1 can work. l can do almost
any kind of housework to help mamma.
help her cook, wash, scrub, brush yards
and wash dishes. Well, l can do almost
any kind of work. I crochet, tat and sew.
So, girls and boys. let's learn to be helpful
to mamma and daddy. 1 have one sister

Hello. people! Ny! what a merry crowd
But what else could anyone expect such
a lovely day as this? This is one of the
days in October when it seems as if sum-
mer was trying to live again before finally
giving up the ghost. l wonder If any of you
cousins remember me. l visited the corner
about five years ago. want to thank
Aunt Julia for printing my other letter and
ask her to please print this one. l see most
of the cousins like to read, and / am not
exception for l am very fond of reading
good books. [ have just finished The Har-
yeSter," and, believe me, it surely was
good. Cousins, 1 would tell you something
of my home town, but 1 hate TO speak evil
of the dead, and, therefore, l will tell of
my home and the surroundings. 1 live on a
small farm of about eighty acres, near a
small creek known as Olustee creek. This
creek runs just in front of the house, and
it's just a short ways to the stream; so you
see l have plenty of swimming exercise in
summer. Well, cousins, 1t will soon be
winter in north Florida, and these cool days
make feel like cane grinding time
near. l suppose we will get sweet when
it does arrive.
If any of you cousins have the song, "DO
They Think of Me at Homer" words or
music), please send it to and 1 will
turn the favor in any way 1 can. But now
l must bid you all adieu by saying 1 would
like to receive letters from anyone who
would like to write to blonde of the blond
t,rnn oil
