LETT EH i ROM ALBERf\ ILLE
Dear Weekly : —If you will al¬
low me space iu your valuable paper,
I will write to the many friends who
requested me to wile to them from
my mountain home. As 1 listen to
the patter o! the rain on the roof, my
mind runs back to you all, and it
seems I owe you each a debt of grati
tude for some special act or word of
kindness. For you, Mr. Editor and
your family, I and my family cherish
the kindest feeling and we often
speak of the pleasant hours we spent
with you while in Conyers. We had
a safe trip and arrived at Atlanta the
day after we left Conyers, except
Mrs. McCord, who was taken sick
and I stopped over with Mr. II. D,
McMiilan in Atlanta. We had so
much sickness during the past year
that j wa8 very anxious for all to get
home aiid spend a quiet Christmas
together. You cau imagine my dis
appointment when I found it neces¬
sary to leave her, for she has never
failed to make Christmas merry for
us all. The children were delighted
with the mountain scenery, the boys
on the lookout for a deer or wild tur
key, the girls selecting sites to build
houses where they thought the
cyclone could not reach them. We
reached Atlanta at 1 o’clock, p m
and found Eddy awaiting us with
conveyance to take us to our new
home which we reached the next day.
Our household and kitchen goods did
not reach ur> until a week later. We
made two long benches, and I hired
a workman to make a nice dining
table. A kind neighbor gave us the
can of an old fashioned -oven, a tea
kettle and frying pan, and so we were
tolerable well prepared for eating. I
guess it looked a little gloomy to the
women folks, but they laughed merri¬
ly when the boys prepared to heat up
the cooking range as they called it.
Any way, we soon had a substantial
meal. Just here, let me say to m 3 '
friends in Georgia if 3 ’our appetite
has failed, come to Sand Mountain.
We eat twice as much as we did
there and arc not much troubled
about the qnalit)'. The Georgians
here all look well, and say they are
hearty. Guess it is a healthy coun¬
try.
Mrs. McCord camo home the Sab¬
bath before Christmas, and although
not well, she managed to have stiring
preparations made to enjoy Christ
mas. Little Ilella had told the boys
Santa couldn’t find the way to the
mountain, and she couldn’t live if she
did not get a doll, and Lonnie said
he did hope to get uotne books, and
the others wanted knives, candies
and oranges, but when couusin
Emcr}' Mann brought in the Christ
mas tree and planted it, their fears
all gave way, and on Christmas morn¬
ing the tree was loaded with ju~>t
what each one wanted. It is worth
a great deal to see the little ones so
happy. We all gathered around the
breakfast table that morning except
Tommie, who was still in Georgia at
the home of his uncle, G. W. Shaw,
of Housedon, better in healtn, but
not well enough to be with us.

here are kind and hospitable, and

AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lunge
none so trifled with by the majority of suffer¬
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex¬
posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal
6iekness. Ayer’s Ciiekry BRciobal ha»
well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight
with throat and long diseases, and should b*
taken in all cases without delay.

and it will always cure when the disease is
not already beyond the control of medicine.
