Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1923-04-05

, for us, don't you think so, Aunt
Julia? My letter is getting too long,
so I will close with statement that
L am a Brooks county boy in my
twenties and would be glad to re-
ceive letters from some of the little
girls. Will answer every one.
Love to Aunt Julia and Cousins,
from LEE PATRICK,
Rt, 1. Quitman, Ga.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Just
short chat as this is the first time
I've been admitted.
Hello, anti-painters! guess you
won't like what I have to say about
painting. [ think we should use
all the paint that we need to make
our compilations look natural. See,
not too much of course, but enough
to keep us from looking like ghosts.
Make the most Of the beauty that
God gave u.s." AS far as bObbed hair
is concerned. I. for one, like it. Els
pecially for girls up to fifteen or
sixteen years.
All you girls and boys who would
care to correspond with jolly six
teen-year-ol write me.
MATTY ROBINSON,
Rt. B; Box 81. Ludowici, Ga.
Cedar Crest Farm, Clipper, Ga.
Oh, Aunt Julia! Open the door of
your Letter Box quick and, dearest
Auntie, pardon me for writing again
so soon, but L want to ask the cous-
ms to pardon me for not answering
their nice letters. receive so awful
many letters it was just impossible
oil I11+
Use, you know I promised to send
my pictur. to the first one who
write. So Harris Wilson. of
Wrightsville, Ca, Ri. 2, received
my photo or at least I sent it to
him, as he was the first one who
wrote.
Cousins, don't you think the let
tiers would be more interesting if
one and all who wrote would tell
something about the country or
town in which you live, or tell some
thing about a cliff or queer rock
near your home or town. also tell
some things that you do about the
house or farm. Try to tell some
thing that is interesting, and some
thing that would be a help to some
one.
Well, we'll, we'll, must bring this
letter to a close as today is Friday
and am very busy. indeed. I will
send a poem, if Aunt Julia will be
such g. dear as to publish it -.
With love to Aunt Julia and
Cousins.
The poem:
BUILDING.
We are building every day,
In a good or evil way,
And the structure as it grows,
Will our innermost self disclose.
Till in every arch and line
All our faults and failings shine.
1t may grow castle grand,
Or a wreck upon the sand.
Do you = what building this,
That can show both pain and bliss,
That can be both dark and fair?
Lo, it's name is Character!
Build it well, whateer you do,
Build it straight and strong and
true,
Build it clean and high and broad,
Build it for the eye of God.
EDNA STEAKLLEY,
Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins:
Won't you please admit me into
your happy circle for. just this once?
have just finished reading the
Letter Box and I think it is just
fine to come in at night and take
up the dear old Journal and turn
over and be with the boys and girls
who are really many miles away. It
seems that the discussion of powder
and paint is the excitement this
time. Say, boys, don't let the girls
powder bother us so long as they
look decent and pretty, as they seem
to be now. Any way, I don't think
it very polite for a boy to say any
thing about a young lady's mode of
dressing, and I believe that the boy
who thinks about it will agree with
me now he has been harassed about
it far about six months. Don't you
all think me an old chronic grum-
bier and not write to me, for I want
you all to write me. I will assure
you an answer. I have written to
the Letter Box before, but wasn't
so fortunate as some Of you seem
to be to get my letter printed. I am
new cousin.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins:
wonder if you will let another
Georgia girl into your happy band
Of boys and girls.
I am like most of the cousins, live
on a farm and like farm life fine.
How many Of you cousins like flow
ers? do for one. especially ge-
