(MISS) ROSALIE KNIGHT.
Summerville, Ala, Route l, Box 100.

Dear Auntie and Cousins: I am here
again to thank you for your kindness and
to tell you of a trip 1 have made lately.
Two families of us went about sixteen
miles in wagons to a large cave called
Wiseman cave, which I will endeavor to
describe.
1t has a large opening which tapers off
to small hole which we crawled through.
OF course we all carried pine torches.
Then we found ourselves in a large room.
There were large rocks all over the floor
which made it difficult to get farther, but
we climbed over then and went on, we
saw large rocks standing straight up in
different shapes. One looked like Wolf s
monument, another like Garfield's. Then
we came to large flat rock with little
ones all over it shaped like monkeys. Then
we came into the fourth room, the most in
teresting CT all, about thirty feet up on
the side of the cave was a large basket
like basket in a theater We climbed up
to it and there we found one of the most
beautiful springs l ever saw. The water
in it was almost cold as ice and as
clear as crystal. We could not find where
the water went, but it didn't run down
into the cave which was a mystery to US.
Then we went to the end and came back
out.
1 am expecting lots of letters.

Hello Aunt Julia and Cousins: have
been wanting to write to the letter box
for long time, but haven't had coura ge
enough to write. My mother takes The
Journal and 1 like it fine. What do you
cousins do for pastime? 1 play the organ
and read 1 surely do like to read. Mrs.
Georgia Sheldon, Zane Grey, and W. NJ.
Brewer are some of my favorite authors.
Will some of the cousins please send me
the following books: 1.-THE Little Marplot "
written by Mrs. Georgia Sheldon, and 1.-The
Lone Star Ranger" by Zane Grey. I
will return the favor any way 1 can. Andy
Hudson, come again. Your letter is the
kind the boys who kill little birds need
to read. | think it is cruel to kill the lit
tie birds. Just think what this old world
would be without the little birds, the in
sects would almost eat us up. l think all
farmers ought to have their land posted,
to keep the hunters from killing the birds.
l will not describe myself this time. but
will say my age is. between ii and 20.
l would like to hear from all you cousins,
boys and girls, from every state.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here is
something from my scrap book:
GOOD ADVICE
Grin and bear it! That's the way.
Make your mind up now to stay
On the job and see it through
That's the only way to do.
Rain or sunshine look up and smile.
Working forward all the while.
Disappointments now and then
Happen to the best of men.
Grin and bear it. that's the way;
Keep your nerve up every day.
Life is not round of pleasure,
Pain and grief fill up the measure;
Roses bloom and fade away;
Nothing ever comes to stay.
Heartache only lasts a while
Then it's baniShed with a smile.
Smiles at times may disappear,
But enjoy them while they're here.
Mr., Elmer Bridges, Mr.. Civil, Mr.. ]. W.

OCTOBER
The year grows old
The wind blows cold;
The orchards robe themselves in gold
A browniSh tint on leaf and wall
And woodlands dress begins TO fall;
The green in pastures grasses Gibbs,
The dew transforms the spider webs;
Ripe seeds take flight
For next years site,
And frost appears at mountain height
With best wishes to each and every cous-

STOCKS STEADY BUT
BUSINESS is DULL
AROUND THE OPENING
Traders FAVOR Short Side
But Afraid to Back
Desires.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE stock mar
ket started in today with a steadier
tone. Such pressure as had been in
evidence toward the previous close was
removed. On the other hand. there
was little disposition toward recovery.
Traders were still inclined to favor
the short side, yet were afraid TO do
much further selling of this sort for
fear that the list might ecome over
sold.
As a result, the early price changes
were slight, revealing no definite tend
ency, and business was dull.
Anaconda Copper continued heavy
under SO. Further weakness appeared
in the rubber shares.
United States Rubber common
dropped below 81 again and Goodrich,
at 81, was within a point of its ex-
IRENE low for the year. Among the
oils. Producers and Refiners was ac-
lively sold. but other members of the
group held their ground. The rails
were comparatively neglected.

themselves in supplying the needs OF
the crowds of customers.

cooperating with the store in the ;ub-
lice celebration and are showing theil
appreciation TO Joske Bros. Company

A special feature Of the attractive
decorations is display Of beautiful
paintings and photographs Of scenes
in San Antonio as far back as 1850
and 1854. There are II pictures. One
of them which probably is among the
most attractive, is scene on Main
Plaza in 1850. It~hows the old mar

Crockett street from the corner OF
Nacogdeches street. In the background
the old San Fernando Cathedral is
