Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1923-10-18

Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins: L am just
wondering if you will admit a North Caro-
lima girl in your happy band Of boys and
girls. 1 have been thinking of writing
and could not decide whether to do SO or
not. l am twelve years old, and in the
sixth grade and like farm life fine. How
many Of you like flowers? 1 for one and
dearly love music.
1 think Elma Bridges writes good let
tiers. Come again, Elma! Well, L must
go before L break the, rules, for if Aunt
Julia is kind enough to print my letter l
will write again. I would like to hear
from some of the cousins. l beg to re-
main,
Your niece and cousin,
Oracle HATCH.

Dear Auntie and Cousins: Will you
please admit a very interested cousin from
the good old state of North Carolina to
your merry council? There surely is a
crowd of us here. Greetings to every one!
Elmer Bridges, I'm glad you have de-
cided to kill no more little birds. L love
their sweet songs and l believe it is a sin
for any one to kill them.
Cousins, 1 am a farmers daughter, who
likes music, flowers and reading. l am
especially fond of reading letters, so who
will be the first to write? 1 had a let
ter published in The journal two years
ago. DO any of the cousins remember me ?
Aunte, here is a little verse l like:
sIGHS AND SMILES
"If could gather every sigh
That lights the breeZes going by,
I'd lock them in cell tight
And lose the key from mortal sight.
IF in one cave all smiles were kept,
Id like to 80 while their guard slept.
And open the door and set them free
Till all the world would smiling be-
My age is between fifteen and twenty
five. Sincerely,
EUNICE GREENE.
