tell you how my home is located. so
you will have an idea how it looks.
1t is two miles west of jacksonville.
The house is located on a rise in a
grove about $50 yards from the
road. So you See it is a great pleas
ure in the spring to watch the trees
put forth their green foliage, but
lonesome in the winter to hear the
wind bowling among The tree tops.
1 certainly do love flowers and
will appreciate any the cousins will
send me.
My hobbies are reading and
horseback riding.
will not describe myself, but
will leave that for you to guess. My
age is betweent 20 and 25. The
one that gIesses nearest it T will
send MY photograph. If you
cuoins care to write me 1 will ap-
preciate all mail received.

Corbin, KY, January 81.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: l
am asking for admittance into your
jolly band of boys and girls. I have
never written before.
L will be twelve years old May 10,
and 1 am in the fourth grade.
am at my grandmothers at Big
Stone Gap, Virginia. She has been
i'll with flu and pneumonia.
l will go home soon and start to
school. u.
I live in the city and like city life
very we'll, but would rather live
in the country
I go to Sunday school at the
Methodist church, and like getting
thee Sunday school papers. I, also,
get books from the Carnegie public
library, and they sure are fine
reading.
If any of you cousins want to ex-
change photographs with me write
and I will gladly exchange.
Will answer all mail received.
Your new cousin,
MADELINE KILGORSE.
SOB Fifth street.
Aunt Julia: Don't you think we
have a fine crowd Of boys and girls?
And think the letter box is getting
more interesting all the time. How
many of you like to read? All of you
should. I especially enjoy literature.
Many, many a weary hour have I
gotten over; many a mental and
bodily annoyance forgotten, all by
the help of the tragedies and
comedies of our dramatists and
novelists. Many a trouble has been
soothed by the voice of the moral
philosophers, and many care
charmed to sleep by the song of the
poet. Thanks and honor to the
glorious masters Of the pen and the
great inventors of the press, But
guess I had better hush, or some
one might call me foolish.
Aunt Julia, don't you think our
letter box would be quite more in
teresting without so many personal
illusions? I certainly do, but. still,
there are some who describe them
selves and seem to think it's a rule
that can't be broken. 1t is absurd to
trouble all the world with them, and
unjust to- the subscribers to stuff
their paper with matter so unprofit-
able and disagreeable.
Well, / am taking up too much
space, but will you please pardon
me. Now, I am not going to worry
the cousins and you, Aunt Julia, any
longer. I'll probably write again
soon, if I didn't stay too long this
time. Your niece and cousin,
ELLEN THOMAS.
Warrior, Ala, Star Route.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May
an Alabama girl slip into your happy
band? 1 have enjoyed it so long
in silence, and at last l am going
to try to join you.
l read and work with the flowers
the time am not in school.
How many of you are in high
school? I am a freshie. I enjoy it
fine. go to PelI City High school. I
live on a farm a mile from school
and L like it very we'll.
I was surprised to see my name
in The Journal. Inez Graham, write
to me. I would aso be glad to hear
from any of you cousins and, get
your photos.
I will not stay any longer. (Ala-
bama IneZ), a new cousin.
MISS INEZ GRAHAM.

tween fourteen and sixteen.
