Address—
AUNT JULIA'S
LETTER BOX
My Dear Children: I had just settled myself down to reading
vour letters with my mind made up to write you something about
Washington, when lo and behold the first letter I opened was from
one of the cousins, E. Ruth Callahan, who had lived in Washington,
and had written you such an Interesting letter about her former
home, or I should say winter home. This letter you will agree, I am
sure, just had to in, and I gladly leave the discussion of Washing
ton in her hands. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
P. g.—Myrtle Nance’s address was incorrectly printed in a re
cent copy of the paper, it hsould be Myrtle L. Nance, Blairs, S. C„
R. F. D.* No. 1. Alex Dewar, you failed to put an address on your
letter. I will hold it; write me another if you wish asking your ques
tions and giving an address so the cousins can answer if they wish.
Thank you, “Lillian,” for the lace for Yvonne; wish you had signed
your full name so your letter could have been printed.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Won’t you
give me a little space in your charming
letter box? I want to tell you something
of our nation’s capital, Washington, D. C„
where we lived last winter and will live
for several winters to come I suppose. In
summer we live here In these beautiful
North Carolina mountains. Washington cer
tainly is a wonderful city in more ways
than one. Besides being at present the
very center of the civilized world. It Is a
city of rare beauty with its wide streets,
wonderful trees and parks, and stately
buildings of white marble. Capitol Hill,
near which our house is situated, is the
center of the city. It Is a very slight rise
on the summit of which Is the capitol. On
the north and south of the capitol are the
house and senate office buildings, while on
the east is the beautiful congressional li
brary. The White House, Washington mon
ument, national museum, and United States
treasury are farther down Pennsylvania
a venu*, nearer the business section of the
city. Arlington and Mt. Vernon are Just
across the Potomac. Cousin*, my letter is
getting long and I must close, but if I
see this in print I will write again and tell
you something of the many airplanes which
were over the city all th etime last win
ter; the wonderful view from the top of
the Washington monument, and Mt. Ver
non, Arlington and the National Zoological
park, to each of which I have been several
times. Also I would like to say a word or
two about the wonderful system of schools
in Washington, and tell a little about the
many tame squirrels on the capitol grounds
and In the parks. Sincerely,
E. HUTH CALLAHAN.
Prentiss, N. C., Aug. 14, 1919.
Hello Aunt Julia and Cousins: Have you
entirely forgotten this horrid-looking cousin?
I am a cousin all right, for I had a letter
to come out in the letter box once, anil
.got one correspondent whom I think very
much of. I live near some of the.cousins. I
guess you all remember Pauline Moreland.
I live near her. I described myself in
my other letter so you will be spared one
spell of laughing, though I will say I am
a blonde, aged fifteen. It is so hot here
I am about to scorch, but I do hope I won’t
for I want to see Aunt Julia before I die.
I would like to correspond with any of the
cousins. Your niece and cousin,
•GLADYS HULLENDER.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousin*: Here comes
a North Carolina kid to join the cousins.
I have brown hair and gray eyes. I am
In the seventh grade. Who has my birth
day, August 12? Well, I will close with
a question: In what part of the Bible Is
the shortest verse? Say, cousins, some of
you write to me. I will answer all letters.
With lots of love, a new cousin,
EMILY PRATT.
Leaksvllle, N. C.. Route 1.
Dear Aunt Julia: Will you please throw
open wide your doors of the golden band
and let a sand-lapper in? I promise you
I won’t stay long, for this is my first
visit. What are you cousins doing for a
good time thse* beautiful sunshiny days?
I am sure having a good time going to
parties and moonlight picnics. Wish some
of you cousins were here so you could go
with me. I would sure give you a good
time, you bet, for thia place is noted for
good-looking boys.
Well, as I have never been here before,
I will run now for I hear Aunt Julia say
ing that she doesn’t like long letters, but
before I go I’m going to describe myself,
but please stop laughing, for you might at
tract Mr. Wastebasket’s attention, then I
would have to go before I finished my de
scription, so here goes: I have brown hair
and eyes and have dark complexion and am
sixteen years old and dad’s pet. There
now, the worst is over.
Goodby to you all and I hope to see this
in print. Some of you good 1 soking people
write to me, for I sure do love to write.
Lot* of best wishes to all.
Your new cousin,
MARY J. SWINNIE.
New Port, S. C.
Tap! Tap! Let ms- in for a little chat,
will promise not to stay long. What have
you consln* been doing for pastlijie? I
have been going to th4 prolfteteif -sneeting
at Catawba Springs Bapti*t charcAii and
have certainly enjoyed It. As it 1* the
rule for the cousins to describe thejnselves
I will do likewise. Don’t get frightened,
cousins. I see Elma Coleman laughing
now. Hush, now: Light hair;., ofue’ eyes
and fair complexion, height four feet ten
inches, weight 100 ponnds. My age is be
tween thirteen and eighteen. Who has my

Dear Aunt Julia: Will yon admit a
Mississippi girl into your happy band? We
take The Journal and I like It very much.
I have been a silent reader of the letter
box for some time. And have just found
courage to write. I hope to seo thia in
print- as it is my first attemnt. I wis-i
some of you cousins were here to jepend
the day with me. I am so lonely, j ;

writing and cooking dinner. You
cousins surely do take an interest In writ
ing to the letter box. I noticed nino let
ters from you in yesterday’s paper. T.ewl*
Whfdden, the answer to your nudie a

somewhat lengthy, I will describe myself
and go. Get your faces ready to laugh
tor I know you can’t help it. I am about
five feet three inches tall, have light I’fi’.

about 120 pounds. There, 1 I knew you womd

write to
WINNIE GLENN.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Won’t you
please slip over and give a Georgia girl a
seat? I have been reading Aunt Julia’s Let
ter Box for about three years. I sure do en
joy reading it. I live on a farm, two miles
from a city. 1 sure do enjoy farm life.
How many of you cousins have brothers in
the army? I had two, but both have been
discharged, and both went across, but did
not have to fight.
Well, Aunt Julia, as my letter is getting

Dublin, Ga., Route 4, Box 7.
Dear Auntie and Cousins: Will you admit
two Georgia girls to your happy band of
girls and boys? We take The Journal and
always read the cousins’ letters first, and
we think them just grand. What do yon
cousins do for pastime these days? We
girls take in the movies, ball games and
meetings, in fact, we have just got back
from court meeting at Mossy Creek. It is
close to the Blue Ridge mountains. We en
joyed ourselves fine. We wish some of you
cousins and Aunt Julia had been with us.
Dear auntie, we want to see this In print.
We are sending 10 cents for the little French
lass. We will send more next time. Auntie,
we think you are doing a great deed. You
are a dear, sweet aunt, anyway.
Why don’t more of our soldier and sailor
boys write? Come on, Georgia kids, let’s not
let the other states get ahead of us.. Ask
ing all the cousins who care to write to us
let their letters and cards fly to

Gainesville, Ga., Route 2.
Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins! Here I
come again knocking for admittance. It
has been quite a while since my last visit.
I guess you have forgotten me. I re
ceived so many nice letters from the cous
ins. It was just impossible for me to an
swer all personally, although they were all
appreciated just the same. Well, as I am
an old cousin, I will not describe myself
this time.
Yes, I, too, think Aunt Julia did a grand
thing in adopting the little French baby.
I saw her picture and think she is cute.
I will close with a riddle: White as milk
and not milk; green as grass and not
grass; red as blood and not blood; black as
ink and not ink.
You cousins write to me and guess that
riddle.

come again to have a chat with you all.
Well, as I didn’t describe myself before, I

much. Aunt Julia, please make Ruby
Flanders take that book down from her
face and quit laughing. So here I go:
Brown hair, brown eyes, medium complex
ion, weight about 120 pound*, five feet five
inches tall, aged 12 years. Ruby and Lois
Flanders, the answer to your riddles are:
First, one; second, noise. Am I right?
Vera Tomberlin, why don’t you write to
me again. I miss your letters so much.
Here is a dime for Yvonne. I saw her
picture in the paper and it surely was
pretty. I surely would love to have her
visit me. I will bld you adieu for this
time. Your niece and cousin,

I guess we'd better describe ourselves and

Good morning, pretty folks; Move over
and give me a seat by Aunt Julia., No, I
don’t mean to be selfish as you see this is
my first visit and will promise not to stay
very long.
I enjoy the cousins’ leters also Aunt Ju
lia’s Think It Is very nice for us to have
* corner in The Journal.
Say, cousins, come over and let’s race
picking cotton. Am sure I’d get beaten, but
I’d etnjoy your confpany. We are not mak
ing much- cotton this year. Mr. 801 l Weevil
has rendered cotton picking light work in
this section.
We had a great revival at our church this
summer. Rev. W. L. Hambrick, of Maple
White church, Macon, assisted Rev. D. S.
Grindle, the pjastor, in the services. We
received twenty-one additions, seventeen of
which were baptized.
Won’t describe myself this time as it
might frighten some of the cousins int
turning their backs on me. Probably I’ll
come again with a description if I’m admit
ted this time. Will close with a riddle. If
I drop a dish on which a baked turkey is
lying, what three countries would be in
volved? Your new cousin,

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Hereafter Mary Meredith will answer no letters unless the full
name and add’-ess of each person asking advice Is given in the let
ter. No names will be published at any time in this column, but it
is lecessary that the editor know from whom the letters come. Let
ters should be short, not more than 75 words when publication in
the paper is requested, and they should be written as legibly as
possible on one side of the paper only.
Letters not signed with the full name and address will go
into the wastebasket in the future.
We are two cousins, aged seven
teen, coming to you fcr advice. 1,
Winifred, am corresponding with a
boy in France, whom I have never
seen. He and brother were great
friends while over there. I want
to know whether there is any harm
in writing nice friendly letters to
him?
I, Miriam, want to know when,
having a date with a boy to go driv
ing, should you ask him in or go in
the car?
Are we too young to go with the
boys in a friendly, n ee way?
WINIFRED AND MIRIAM.
Answer —I as quite sure, Win
ifred, that there is no harm in
your writing to your brother’s
friend. Your brother surelj' felt
safe in allowing the man to write
to you, and this removes any
objection there could have been.
If you are to go driving, Mir
iam, you should be ready at the
appointed time, and there’s no
need to invite the boy in. You
might ask him in when you re
turn from the drive if you like.
There’s no harm in seventeen
year-old girls having boy
friends.
I am a girl sixteen years of age.
Am I too young to go with the boys
as friends? Is it right for a girl to
slight a boy when she has no par
ticular reason except she just don’t
like him? What should a girl say
when her caller starts to leave if she
wishes him to come again? Also what
should she say if she does not wish
him to come again. How should I
fix my hair? Snould a girl my age
go with only one ooy? 1 know a boy
who seems to be very fond of me;
he hasn’t any sisters, but his mother
seems to think a lot of me and often
insists on my coming to see her.
What should 1 do about it? Should
I go or not?
VIOLET.
Answer—Youare no ttoo young
for b<p friends. It is not kind
to slight a boy for no reason
whatever. When the caller says
that he has had a pleasant time,
and hopes to see you again, it is
sufficient to say “Thank you.”
If you do not care to see him
again, you should treat him with
courtesy, but when he asks for
another dace, tell him that you
nave an engagement.
No, a girl your age should not
go with just one boy.
If you want to visit the boy’s
mother, 1 see no objectio*n to your
going to see her, when she in
vites you.
I am a girl of nearly fifteen years
of age. I want my hair to grow out.
How should *. fix it? 1 have brown
hair, blue eyes, fair complexion,
height 5 feet, 4 inches, weight 92
pounds, i am In love with a ooy of
my age. He is a sport. Is it proper
to powder the face before the boy?
Is it propei for a boy to make a lire
in the parlor? If the boy and I are
going to ride in a buggy and I were
driving, and if the pony should stop
and the pony’s name is Daisy, what
should I say, “Come up, Daisy, or
should the boy say it?
J. P. M.
Answer—lt is in bad taste, I
think, to powder your face before
boys. Dressing should be com
pleted before you leave your
room, and powdering one’s nose
is a part of the dressing.
It is all right for the boy to
make a fire in the parlor, though
it would be better to have the
fire built before he comes.
Either of you may make the
horse go on. It is silly for a
15-year-old girl to be talking of
being in love.
I am coming to you for advice.
I am a country girl. I am 14 years
old. I am a neat looking girl. I
have got a boy I love very much.
Do you think I am old enough to
go with the boys? I been
writing to him a good while and
he seems to think lots of me. How
long should I wear my dresses. I
am five feet high and weigh 130
pounds. Do you think it is proper
for a boy to wink at a girl?
Would it be proper for me to go
with him to all day singings?
Please advise me. I will listen to
your advice.
He is 19 years old. Do you think
it would be right for me to ride
home with him from singing?
A GOOD LITTLE GIRL.
Answer: You are about five
years too young for marriage
or love affairs. It is quite
proper to go to all-day sing
ings with him, and allow him
to bring you home.
Wear your sKtrt about two
or three inches below your
knee, unless you are large for
ve your age. Your size, rather
than age, should govern this
matter.
I am a boy nineteen years of age. 1
am very fond of all the girls and
they seem to like me very much.
Do you think I’m old enough to
marry? Is it any harm for a girl
to propose to a boy? There is one
girl in my circle of acquaintances
who is very jealous of me and
don't like for me to go with any
other girl except her, and I don’t
like to do that way. Is it nice for
a boy to buy candy and other
presents that are not expensive for
girls? Is it all right for a boy to
take a crowd of girls to ride on
Sunday afternoon?
When a boy meets up with a girl
friend In town Is it polite for him
to ask her to dine with him? Is It
any harm for a boy to correspond
with a girl he has never seen?
REDHEAD.
Answer: No, you are not old
enough to marry. A man should
be at least twenty-five before
he marries. I think a girl at
least twenty. Indeed, you
shouldn’t stop going to see all
girls just because one of them
is jealous of you.
It is perfectly all right to buy
candy and inexpensive things
■ for girl friends—it is bad taste
to give expensive ones, unless
you are engaged to the girl. It
is also proper to take a crowd
of girls to ride on Sunday after
noons—and you may also invite
a girl friend to dinner, when
meeting her downtown.

‘THE MILLS OF THE
GODS GRIND SLOWLY.**
The slaying of fomer U. S. Sena
tor Carmack, by the Coopers, father
and son. all residents of Nashville,
Tenn., was published far and wide
on both continents. It occurred a
number of years ago. I have seen
the place where the tragedy occur
red and was somewhat acquainted
with a very splendid Nashville la
dy. who was talking with Mr. Car
mack a minute before the shooting
took place. It was a very dreadful
thing—-from every view-paint—and
I have been expecting some after
claps.
Less than a week ago. Mr. Robin
Cooper, the son of Mr. Duncan Coop
er. who shot ex-Senator Carmack on
the fatal day, as herein stated, was
found in a creek dead, and from all
appearances, brutally murdered. The
police authorities are making
search for the parties who did this
ghastly work —and have stated they
have some clues —that give promise
of results. But the point I wish to
emphasize is the sure-coming doom
that seems to follow like a slueth
hound on the murderer’s steps. It
has been frequently proven that re
morse has been strong enough to
make a man-slayer, go to the au
thorities and give himself un. The
dread became so consuming that lite
was intolerable to such a man. with
a guilty conscience, hot-footed on
their tracks.
. The junior Cooper, after he left
jail, married into one of the most
prominent families in Kentucky—
very wealthy people—and much re
spected in society. He to
be on the ton w-’ve of r'-osno’-itv an<*
had lovelv children. Rut the aven
ger was abroad, and the death th-’t

a more brutal ending. than the
shooting of former Senator
mack, on one of the most public
streets of Nashville. Tenn. The
surroundings were a thousand times
more dubious than the going awav
of Mr. Carmack. Sixty years ago T
heard a sermon from the text “Re

DEAR MARGERY
BYMAPGABET WILD&
(Continued from Last Issue)
Here follows Margery Moore Mc-
Farland’s reply to Deane’s urgent call i
for her return to the McFarland’s
Florida home:
June 27, 1919.
My Dearest Deane:
You are the limit. We’ll let it go
at that until I get ready to tell you
why. I didn’t write to you, nor even
the folks I was coming.
I just came as. I went, sudden and
unannounced. After reading your
hurry-up letter one came from mama
McFarland, saying, “Margery, I’m an
old woman. My day is done. I write
these words in my bed, because I’m
too ill to be up. Now, I’m not ask
ing you again to come home, but
when you decide to come, you’re wel
come. Deane’s been down and it
brought old memories home to me.
It seemed you, too, should be along
to complete the picture. Margery
I guess life’s been too much for me.”
And followed more in the same
minor strain. All in all, ’twas too
much for me, Deane! I quickly pack
ed, threw up my position and caught
a train for back east, then connected
with another for the south! How
the hours drug along! And me wild
to see my boy—and the rest I’d left
so long ago! How little and utterly
insignificant my past troubles seemed
to me as I eagerly faced the south.
Just to hold my child close again—.
Pen of mine, nor my feeble at
tempts at putting all descriptive
words in the dictionary together can
never tell you how things happened,
but I’m going to do my best in order
to satisfy your curiosity and that
story-loving soul!
I’ve wept with you. Deane, In your
sorrows. But your letters have made
me laugh heartily when you plotted
ways and means of getting me mar
ried all over again, first to one man,
then another. Didn’t seein to mat
ter much who the unlucky party was,
just so I’d marry him, thereby giv
ing you a chance to write a “Happy
ever after” story about your Mar
gery!
Now, dear, go ahead and write my
story any old time you get in the
notion. My one request is that you
hold off from the last chapter, be
cause I want to write that chapter
myself, with “The End” affixed as
a silent sentinel, witnessing ani
guarding that precious last ending
to my story.
I had the usual sort of journey—
to me. However, you could do a
story on it, I’m sure. Anyway, I
arrived in due season and came in a
jitney to suburbs, then walked bal
ance of way. Somehow I fancied
maybe I’d run into my boy there—
somewhere.
But he was in the yard playing
marbles. I hesitated at the gate and
wondered if he could be my baby;
Such a manly little boy! He saw me.
He looked at me wondering, then
His mouth flew open so funny. My
eyes devoured him hungrily and my
heart almost bursted with a queer
sort of pain. I’m not a novelist,
else I might could describe what
kind —My voice cried softly, “Hugh!”
He stood there and we gazed at one
another. Just stared!
“It’s my mamma!” he cried.
“My baby!” I held forth my arms,
now well inside the yard.
» He came to them. And, I held him
close —so tight he‘said, “you hurt,
mamma!”
“Yes, I hurt,” I replied.
Thus we met again—my boy and I.
Papa McFarland came to the door.
Then joined us. Mamma was in bed.
We decided to let Hugh tell her
first. Then, I went in.
Dearie, I can’t describe it. Don’t
ask me! Just use your mildest im
aginative powers, and you can’t go
far wrong on that scene. I think
her heart and my heart just melted,
then sort of blended into one as we
held on to one another, she clinging
to me as if she feared I’d go, or was
only a dream liable to vanish the
next instant, I caressing her, com
forting, promisnig never to leave
her again. Did we cry? I knew
you’d want to know that! It was a
regular spring freshet, Deane, but
left us calm and happy, and serene
and composed as any far blue sky
you ever saw in June after the storm
clouds passed beyond. So with our
life. The storm cloud’s past. Our
blended tears washed away the last
trace until nothing’s left only tran
quil, quiet peace that endureth for
ever!
And, now, you’re wondering about

Al, next. You wrote me no danger
of seeing him, with the wide ocean
between us. Mamma said she wish
ed he’d come home. Had worried
lots until I came, then, she was too
busy, just being happy with me, to
worry much. Her life’s been so full
of worry, I’m trynig to make her
forget!
She was in bed two weeks. Doc
tor’s orders said remain there longer
but I nursed her faithfully. I’ve
been settling myself down and be
coming at home as one of the fam
ily once more, and had cleaned my
room out and removed those gar
ments and the dust —about a ton of
dust —therefrom, and feeling quite
elated over my belated spring clean
ing when I sat down by mamma’s
bedside to rest a bit.
We talked along.
Then. I experienced a queer sensa
tion as if somebody’s looking at you
and you don’t see them. You know
how it is! Then I turned ’round tr
sac McFarland! And, yet,
not the boy I married at all!
How can I describe it?
He was and yet he wasn’t.
It was as if the boy I’d known
was gone, submerged, and a man
stood in his stead!

419 EGGS FROM
20 MOMG HENS
Mr. Dougherty Got This Result In
One Month. Flan is Easily Tried.
“I tried Don Sung and the results
were far past any expectations. 1
got 419 eggs in 30 days from 20
hens while moulting. I think this
is wonderful as they hardly laid at
all before while moulting.”—Frank
Dougherty, 5940 E. 11th St., Indian

Mr. Dougherty bought $1 worth
of Don Sung tablets in October and
wrote the above letter in November.
Figure his profit on 35 dozen en»»
from hens that formerly laid 11!<«»
or nothing.
This may sound too good to be
true, but it costs nothing to find out.
We’ll make you the same offer we
made him.
Give your hens Don Sung and
watch results for one month. If you
don’t find that it pays for itself
and pays you a good profit besides,
simply tell us and your money
will be promptly refunded.
Don Sung (Chinese for egg-lay
ing) works directly on the egg-lay
ing organs, and is also a splendid
tonic. It is easily given in the feed.
Improves the hen’s health, makes
her stronger and more active in any
weather, helps her through ths
moult, and starts her laying.
Try Don Sung for 30 days and if
it doesn’t get you the eggs, no mat
ter how cold or wet the weather,
your money will be refunded by
return mail. Get Don Sung from
your druggist or poultry remedy
dealer or send 50 cents for a pack
