Say, cousins, how do you all like
domestic science? l am crazy about
it. L sure did hate to move from
! Thomas county because our demon.
strator, Miss Lila Forrest, took sc
much interest in us. She taught me
! so many nice things to do. I help
mama about the house and enjoy
| it.
In Omega we have a fine Sun

| have an evangelistic club which I
enjoy going to and taking part in.

I had better stop before I break
the rules. All of you cousins write
to me and 1 will answer them ali.
Hoping to see this in print soon, /

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
Will you admit another North Caro-
lima boy into your happy band of
boys and girls? I am a happy farm
boy, and enjoy the best of all driv-
ing the sheep to the pasture. We
have eighteen sheep and thirteen
little lambs. All of you boys and
girls that like mutton just come
over and we will thin the bunch. I
go to school and Sunday school. I
am secretary of our Sunday school.
I will leave my age for you to guess.
1t is between 16 and 10, on Septem-
Der II. Who has my birthday, I
will not describe myself as my let
ter is growing lengthy.

jolly cousin just let your letters
come to
Your new cousin,
RICHARD STARNES.

P. ST will inclose ten cents for
the orphan.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: For
the longest I've wanted to write to
the letter box, and thus join your
merry bunch, but kept .neglecting
it. Even now 1 have only faint
hopes of escaping Mr.. w. B. We
go to Sunday school every Sunday,
but it is raining this a. M, so think
shall while away a short portion
of the day in writing.
Wish some of you cousins were
visiting me. Maybe when the rain
ceases we could go out riding in
Mitchell or a Ford, on a perfect
highway. I live eight miles from
Newberry, S. c.. the grandest place
ever. I know all will pardon me for
saying so, for t. is only natural
that we should all boost our own
state and community, too.
For pastime and perhaps it is of
some benefit, too, L crochet, read
and play the piano. Some of my
favorites in sheet music are "Whis-
pering," "Margie," my Isle of Col
den Dreams and LET the Rest. of
the World Go By" and, of course,
all sacred songs are pretty.
AS the paint and powder subject
has already been discussed, [ will
give my idea. I abhor extremes of
any kind, but L think powder and
just wee touch of rouge helps any
ones looks. And like to see every
one take pride enough in themselves
to try to look as we'll as possible, and
while we are very much interested
in looks may we all be just as dill
gent in improving our hearts and
lives.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:
Please admit another North Caro-
lima cousin to your happy. circle.
am an old subscriber to. The Tr1-
Weekly and think the letter box
very interesting. We are having
some bad, rainy and cold weather
now. Hope you cousins are interest
ed in the little birds enough to scat
ter a little food for them, put up
some boxes and cans for them to
house in during the winter. They
are a blessing to the farmers and
pleasure to lots of people. ..
Correspondence welcomed.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousin:
May [ come in again for just
short time?
I'll not be here very long.
just want to thank Auntie for print
was nice of her. T had lots of
nice letters from different states,
which J. enjoyed very much.
How many CT you like to ramble
through the woods down on creeks
and meadows, and visit old aban-
doned houses? I do for one and if
Auntie win permit I'll tell about
one very pleasant trip I had. 1t
was on the 4th of July that ten of US
boys and girls, and even men and
women started on a picnic. Some
went in buggies as far as they
could, but most of us walked. We
went down on the creek and fished
awhile. Not having any success.
we decided to ramble around some.
