a subject it would be on idle words we

conversation has caused lots Of heartaches,

THE TOWN OF DON'T YOU WORRY
There's a town called Don't You Worry
On the banks of the River Smile,
| Where the cheer up and be happy
Blossoms sWeetly all the while;
| Where the never grumble flower
Blooms beside the fragrant try,
| And the never give up and patience
| Point their faces to the sky.
In the Valley of Contentlhent
In the province of l Will,
| You will find this lovely city
| At the foot Of No Fret hill.
! There are thoroughfares delightful
| To this very charming town,
| And on every hand are shade trees,
! Named the very seldom frown.
| Rustic benches, quite enticing,
| You'll find scattered here and there;
! And to each a vine is clnging.
Called the frequent, earnest prayer.
Everybody there is happy
And is singing all the while
| In the town of Don't You Worry,
On the banks Of the River Smile.
Hoping auntie will like this bit of poetry
| and will print it for the cousins to enjoy,
NORAH JUMP.

and l do love the mountains. l live four
miles from Young Harris college. The peo-
| pie around here are mostly farmers and
raise corn, wheat, potatoes and all kinds OF
| vegetables.
l wrote to the Letter Box in October, but
my letter was not printed for a long time,
| but 1 was not expecting to see it in print
| at all.
Aunt Julia, don't you think Georgia IS
ahead in letters? I do, and, cousins, let's
stay ahead. l don't see many letters from
this, part OF Georgia. and why not? Oh
! cousins, who will send me the books, Lit
tie Men" and Little Women? 1 am just
