Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1923-02-17

What's the use of always weeping?
Maxim trouble last?
What's the use of always keepin'
Thinkin' of the past?
Each must have its tribulation,
Water with the wine.
Life is not a celebration;
Trouble-Ive had mine
But today is fine.
It's today that I'm alvin,
Not month ago,
Havin', Iosin', takin', givin',
AS time wills it so.
Yesterday a cloud of sorrow
Fell across the way;
1t may rain again tomorrow,
It may rain-but say,
Amt it fine today?
Now, girl cousins, even though
I'm married, since I last wrote, won
some of you single and married,
! write me?
If you will I'll tell you Of my
happy little home on the mountain.
Aunt Julia, enclosed is coin for
the orphan. I thank Sou.
An old cousin,
