A special to the Globe-Democrat from Ozark,
says: “The Bald Knobbere are again in Ozark,
and tbe first day of tbe trial found tbe court
room crowded with anxious spectators. Just
before court adjourned, John Wilson thre w
himself upon the mercy of the court, pleading
guilty to whipping Green Walker As this is
tbe first plea of guilty for the Bald Knobbeis’

Bonnie Sweet Bessie says that we are antic

when I thought the ocean resembled woman
btcause ’twas blue However, I see it in a dif
ferent light now, and think ocean resembles
woman because ’tis “tidy.” What is tbe mat
ter with ye cousins? Is the ocean puzzle too
deep for ye? Puzzles possess a peculiar charm
to. me, and l can never rest till I find the an
swer to them. So, if “tidy”, is not correct,
yon may expect to hear from me on the subject
again
Osceola, I thought sure that I knew yon, bnt

How many nickles have yon all saved to

August 6th was a gloomy day with me, for I
was stricken with disappointment and fear
Our department—tbe brightest feature (to us)
of the dear old “Sukny”—was left ont, with
no word of assurance that it would come again.
But, like all troubles, time will heal them all.
So the next issue was as radiant as ever; and
we render thanks to the giver of this depart-,

A p irty of us went out boating and fishing
this afternoon, and you of the “hook aud fly”
business would naturally waDt to know what
luck we bad—‘fisherman’s luck.” The mos

and we had to retreat and leave be “speckled

Red Head, I can sympathize with you in the
loss of your little pet Monk, for it is only a few
weeks since I had four little mi eking birds
(and one of them was “Red Head,” too) cast
into oblivion by one of those sof'-p vwed prowl
ers. Itisclaimedtbatcatshaveuiueli.es I
think tbe remaining eight should b> spent iu
sack-cloth and ashes, repenting tor all the aches
and pains they inflic ed during their first reign.
Some nice old(?) fellow—'tis not Uncle
Punch, though, dear auntie—suggests a slight
change in my now. He thinks it would be
more appropnatt (?) if I were to convert the
"St'’ into “D”—change the small European
bird, “Starlir g.” into a Sunny Socth Letter

cousins will agree lo this. Then, too, lots is
exp icted of a darli ig—though 1 assure you that
1 iu no wise speaa from experience, and I am
not sure that I could come up to the standaro;
so, for the present, I will have it “sorter

For the Sunny South, by Lee Windle.
Black. 6 nieces.
Dear Cousins:
‘ Ye who love the haunts of Nature
LUt, to the song of Hiawatha.’’
Not the Hiawatha who made the heart of
Mumehaba glad in the gloomiest times that
ever gloomed—ant a modern H awatba, gifted
with a pissionate love of Nature—aud the
girls!
It has been abont three weeks since I visited
the juvenile columns of the Sunny South, and
therefore it is a pleasure to be wiih you long
enough to tell you what I know. I have just
received a letter from one of my “Wild West”
girls and she ‘kicked’ me bad. When her
love has conquered pride aud auger, I know
that she will call me back again,” so I nerd
not be uneasy on that score. I wish some of
yon coaid be with me on my trip to Pike's Peak
this summer but if I remain any length of time,
I will let you hear from me through the “Sun
ny ” Will the cousins kindly allow me to in
vite Julia Warde into our charmed circle ?
We are having a jolly time here but ob, how
hot! refrigerators are melting aud the tele
phones would go to sleep if the mosquitos were
not so persistent. I have about concluded
that purgatory is only four miles south of here
and it seems to me if I was Lucifer, I would
leave my business for awhile and go to a sum
mer resort. It would seem from the way
Bashful Bill is keeping himself away from the
L. B. that he bad come to the conclusion that
he had a Henry Clay head on, (without the
Henry) and was afraid to enter the ranks
again—he might be teased. -4
And, I once read a beautiful store, full of
pathos, very sad and touching, ana the lan
guage was grand—but to think, it wasn’t writ
ten by “Two Author*.”
Will ‘‘Central'’ connect me with Bonnie
Sweet Bessie? I want her to write something
for me. Yon knew how it is dear cousins,
I can’t stay all ways. More anon.
Hiawatha.
Dear Aunt Judy: We girls think we have
been unknown to our c> nsins long enough,
and think it high tine that we were writing
and making ourselves known.
Before we continue we would like you to
know our names; they are Sblngen, Kitty and
Jinfccy. We are the three jolliest girls, in a
beautiful village on the banks of a river. Kitty
and 1 are staying a while With Sbinigen. She
lives in a lovely boose, snrronsded by trees of
rare beauty, and b.bSiog br -ohs, winding
among tbe fern and fl >wets I cannot bnt ima
gine that if the stately acd Queer -like old lady
who presided over us, knew our whereabouts,
and intentions, she would have been quite sur
prised and pleased to know that we jolly girls
were writi 'g to our new Aunt. Bji we shan’t
tell her, because apt as not she will send so
many messttgis, that she Wi 1 spoil ad of our
letters; just tike she always does. 1 guess we
will stop now as we want to practice our new
song:
“Chippy on the wardrobe,
Chippy on the floor;
Chippy get your hair cut
Pompadour.”
We will close now with much love to you
and our cousins. Aff
Shinigbn, Kitty, Jinkey.

Dear Aunt Judy and Cousins: I hope yon
will find room for just one more in your cir
cles. I wrote several letters to the L. B ,
abont a year ago, and erj >yed it hagely.
Well, as it is generally the rule for the
“new” starters to give a dtscription of them
selves, I will try to give a feeble one of myself
anyway. I am just live feet and ,en inches
tall, am not too fleshy, have brown eyes and
dark hair; and am only eighteen years old. I
am working in a generai store, and have charge
of the grocery department, and am working
for promotion of half interest of the store.
We have a beautiful little city, about seven
hnndred inhabitants.
Well, I for neriy wrote and signed my nom
as “Carl,” bnt have changed to the undersign
ed. Who will welcome me?
Billy tbe Kid.
Dear Aunt Judy: I have entertaiced a long
ing de-ire to join the ccusins of the Letter
Box department for some time, bnt was afraid
to attempt until now. If thiB letier is pub

I live in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
I would Use very much to correspond with
some of the cousins. I am especially fond of
the bays.
D- arie and Bashful Billie, I would like so
much to bear from you.
Bonnie Sweet Bessie, I would like to know
you. I think yon are the favorite cousin.
Well, I win close with love to Aunt Jndy
and all the cousin, I remain.
Nobody’s Sweetheart.
Dear Litter Boxers: I have long been an ad

CHE88 NOTES.
The Wur a Orchard match to begin Aug 29th is
exciting h ipv£t deal of interest. Tbe contest will
consist of live wo i games Both piayers are appa-
reuti> m excellent for. und both st>em confident of
vict ory. The inarch will bmi tlcee, therefore, be
productive ot some excellent specimens of s und and
oriiliaiii play Tbe styie of th*»be two playe s is as
ditfere t as could well be imagined Mr urm is cool,
dfdibe ate, deep a. d a cura e and is full of resource.
Orchard i« dashu g subtle and slightly imp turns.
He, too, is fu.l of ingenuity aud posset-see uo mean
c mbinauve pow re. As au odds givui*. it is con
ceded Or.-hard is W-irm s superior, but in the opin
ioao( the writer Wun aa D«tter natch player.
Some ol Mr Orchard o friends opine tha we did him
oil injustice in our remarks coso? ruing him. They
declare he has woo two matched of the four he has
hitherto placed Wiirm, and s-y he has scored a ma
jority of the off hand gaa es contested si .ee they fi st
net Yet, if true (and we do not deny it), it does sot
affec our position. We still insist Frof V arm is
the clear champioD of A lanta and this Mr. Orchard
fraukiy admits, though not confers!ng hut seif ii f e-
rio • to Warm as a player. It ie on'y rince Dec. 1888,
Mr. Orchard has become a reeideo r of Atlanta and he
has never raised the quertmu of cha. pionB >ip. If.
howeve , he should win tuis match wi ich we regard
as exceedingly doubtful, then, of course, he will be
champion of Atlanta. Both players are heavily
backed and no od >s are offered on either; although
W urm is regarded as the favorite. May the besS
pi&yer win!
