Word From Leroy Grandstaff
Leroy Grandstaff who is in train
ing at Nashville, Tenn, in writing
to his grandmother, Mrs Lizzie
Mcconnell, said: II thought /
would drop you q line before | went
to bed. It's getting fairly warm
down here. We don't wear our
coats. The eats are pretty good
but the colored cook can't bake bis
cults like you can. They have corn

suits me fine. School is pretty

all right. | will have to go to bed
and get my beauty sleep"
