YOUNG FOLKS’ CORNER.
TRUST.
A picture memory brings to me:
I look across the years and see
Myself beside my mother’s knee.
I feel ker gentle hand restrain
My seifish moods and know again
A child’s blind sense of wrong and pain.
But, wiser now. a man gray grown,
My childhood’s needs are better known;
My mother's chastening lore I own.
Gray grown, but in our Father’s sight
A child still groping tor the light
To read his works and ways aright-
I hew myself beneath his hand;
Tire pain itself for good was planned;
I trust, bnt cannot understand.
1 fondly dream it needs must bo
That, as my mother dealt with me,
Se with his children dealeth ha.
I wait and trust; the end will prove
That here and there, belew, above,
The chastening heals, the pain is love. '
—J. G. Wh J ttitc.
Well, cousins, you will no doubt be
surprised to hoar that all of the Socuh
ebn AtU-UWS Fabmbb folks and kits
of other Alliance people are speeding
this week at Oeala, Fl*., in attendance
upon the National Alliance convention.
We have just arrived. We spentone
day in Savannah. Ga., and spent it de
lightfully too. You almost teelas4ho’
you had stumbled upon a different
nationality when ycu etroil through the
broad streets ci this old aud historic
city. The houses are -so different from
modern built houses;; they are tall and
plain for the meet part, and open direct
ly upon the siK-sts a:.d have no flower
yards, in front. The du ack yards are en
closed in high batch walls. Everything,
except the magnificent new hotel, the
DeSoto, seems old and quaint. The
theatre building was erected in Iflliß,
and a number of houses there antedate
it many years. We spent an hour or so
on the docks and at the steamboat land
ing, and while at the latter place went
over the great ocean steamer, City of
Birmingham. One of the officers very
kindly took us in charge and earned us
through the different departments of
this beautiful ocean palace. He pointed
out a blue flag that floated from a mast
high over our beads and.explained that
it was called the 71 Blue Peter,” and
floated only on the day that, the boat
sailed and signified the sasae. Another
flag wted with the letters G. and B.
fluttered from a forward mast; “that
flag” explained that due olliasr is house
flag. It bears the monogram or initials
of the founders of this steamship line,
Garrison aud Alien.
We saw a lot of vessels of all,sorts and
from many different foreign ports, Af
ter this we drove out to Bona-veuture
cemetery that! am sure most of you
have read something about. Its chief
charm is the marvelous beauty of the
hunreds of giant live oaks that spread
their moss-draped branches over the
quiet tenements of the dead. Wonerful
avenues over-arched by those most won
derful trees, intersect each other at .un
expected turns aud enchant you with
their rare aud surprising loveliness.
You see a picture here that the Mas
ter artist has taken scores of years to
paint. Every year it has grown more
perfect, every day but finds another here
and an outline rounded in greater per
fection yonder. There is ao noise save
the crunching of the carriage wheels on
the gravelled drives. The gentle breeze
sways the long festooning moss hither
aud thither. It wraps and unwraps it
self about the tall white grave stones so
noiselessly that one feels painfully the
pitiful silence. A little way off we see a
man sweeping away the leaves, but no
sound reaches us from the wielded
broom, and no rattle of the dried leaves
comes to us as they fly before it. “A
painted ship upon a painted ocean,” I
murmur as the carriage and the horses
heads turn towards the gates once more.
Now 1 want some of you boys arid
girls who read to tell me in what year
the oldest house in Savannah was built,
and by whom? What does the word
Bona-venture signify? They have a
handsome monument on oue of the
squares in Savannah called -the Jasper
Monument. It was erected bv the Jas
per Monument Association. Now tell
me who Jasper was, and why was this
noble stone placed there? Hurry, now.
Answer fast. Let’s see who yvill te the
first to speak out.
We have purchased a very pretty book
called Sarah Crewe, by Mrs. Hodgson
Burnett, author of Little Lord Fauntle
roy, and it will be sent this week to the
writer of the best one of the prize let
ters published. We could sot trust to
our own judgment in awarding it, and
so persuaded a very conscientious and
estimable gentleman friend to act for
us. He will be perfectly impartial aud
is entirely unknown, we believe, to any
of the contestants fir the prize. The
book is interesting and has a pretty
moral, aud we hope the recipient will
appreciate it as fully as we enjoy award
ing it.
Cousin Willie Peek’s delayed letter
appears this week. We regret exceed
ingly that it could not appear with the
other prize letters. However, like many
other “last” things it likes much of
being “least.”
Next week we will tell you something
of what we saw in Florida, “where the
the golden apples grow.”

Barto Bf.e, Bowman, «Ga.~Weil cousins, I
have oficie again. 1 .cannot entertain you with
my ueky lit tle missive, and 1 will not detain you
long.
Tne boys and girlS Are doing wrong in quarrel

have them to do unto us.
1 have three brothers, aud they are spodied
souAe, still they aie a? gooe’ as could be expect

my -coLt; please, if you have nothing to <te.”
Brother came h<sme uet >o»g ago and.did not
go in mat’una’s ravin. 1 did not know how late
it was. He is as large as a young elephant, but
he walked as light as a fly walking on Jca. Well
the clock struck! and what v aie was i:: I wont
say, but in one more minute he struck the bed
and was asleep before a fly could bat its eye.
j Cousins, I live in ibe cußntiy and enjoy it
like a mud cat does muddy water.

I milk three cows and get nice milk and bet

1 would like to know it jseif. I think it is be
cause the eow wishes to du-everything she can
to gratify her little mistress and return the
kindness. A pat cow dues better,than any other
when both are .treated alike.
Our cotton is open and we uro getting it out

No money to guide me untrue;
But the wnoLe day long, with a laugh and a

•‘Kickgnu Reedy Springs, Ga.—Dear
Cousins: I wonaer, if you will let me in once
more to sit by the Bid? of some of the cousins.
I wrote to this paper ouce before while the
boys and eirls were quarreling, and I thought I
would not write any more until they stopped. I
thiuk the girls are as sweet as can be, and the
boys ought to be ashamed of .themselves for
talking about the pretty little creatures in any
such way, for they will want a wife some day,
and they ought to try to slay on the good side
of the girls and not abusa them.
Cousin Anna Horn’ “wash pot” is found in the
60th chapter, sth verse of Pealms.
Cousin Hickory Nut, I think you are blind. I
did not say 1 loved other girls better than I did
my sister. Squirrels are very fond of Hickory
Nuts and you had better stay st ill or a squirrel
will have you before Christmas.
L am seventeen years old and am not a mem
ber of the church nor the Alliance, but am
going to be, and at twenty-five am going to be
governor. Wont you vote for me. Cousin Dow,
and wouldn’t you like to see one ot your little
bund in euch an oflice?
My father, mother and three brothers are
members of the Alliance, ard also members of
the Methodist church, but I am not. If lam
ever a member of any church it will be u Bap
tist, as I have some objections to the Methodists*
because we learn that we are “Buried with
Christ in Baptism,” not sprinkled with Him.
My home is six miles north of Reedy springs.
My birthday is the 6th of January. I will be
eighteen—a young man.
If Cousin Rosebud will correspond with me,
my name is with Cousiu Dow. You will write
first.
WlLLia Dean Peek.—Dear Cousins: It has
been so long since 1 have written to our beloved
corner i have set apart this afternoon for this
pleasure.
I have been having a splendid time all vacation.
Have been taking lite easy for the past week or
so, doing nothing but frolicking end reading.
Have read a goodxleal during vacation, my last
being from the pen of an American romancer,
Feuimore Cooper. Have just finished his series
of novels known as the “Leather Stocking Tales.”
1 think they are just channiiig and 1 enjoyed read
ing them wry much. They give a true picture of
Indian life before this country was settle d. Old
Leituor blocking is certainly a noble character.
1 am now reading Dickens Christmas Carols.
II will soon ue camp-meeting time, and I am
anticipating a good time then, tor we aie going to
tent.
How many of the cousins keep a diary? I kept !
one for u while, and had lots of fan writing up
my “daily walk aud conversation” and the va
rious happenings. 1 think it very in tore* ting to
read our past thoughts and refresh our memory
on things almost forgotten; but I am getting too
lazy towrite in it regularly.
I have increased my number of pets. Papa
gave me a trio of w’hite turkeys and I have an
anot her little cat; he is bl nek—has white nose and
feet and, Bad Boy, he is just as smart and cute as
he can be; his name is Dennis. I like him better
tbanturkeyf, for turkeys get so mean; we had an
old gobbler once that would fight me every time
I went out in the yard. I hare beard it said that
anything mean never came to any good end, and
this old turkey fought and gobbled all his life
till at last some one gobbled him.
. But I must give space to another—so good-bye
again.

our good deeds as much a* we have in our corner
since we began to write, we would all be good;
boys and girls and I think the editor will agree
with me.
I don’t read any novels. We have a very nice
Sunday school, and we have a good library which
contains many kinds of books which we. borrow
to read.
How many of you girls read the book of Ruth
I think that it is the best book in the Bible for
girls to read. 1 will ask a question iu Kuih:
Who was Ruth’s mother-in law.
I have just finished reading a book called Sun
shine, have any of you girls read it. 1 pick cot
ton these days. I agree with Lacie Bellows about
girls sitting about week in and week out, for I
think that girls ought to work, it will do them
good. I q tose with b 3i! t wishes to Ihe cousins

WirkgrAss Tom, Oaky Hill, G a.-Dear
Cousin Dow. Ouce again I make an attempt to
devote a short time iu the interest of, as,l trust
pass time for my many friends and more espe
cially cousins, who with bright and happy faces
scans the several letters from different parts ,
our lovely Alliance state.
It always affords me great pleasure to write
to a paper that is so devoted to the interest of
the people, and n ore especially the farmers
whose pleasure it is to roam the fields of reluct
ant grain with a bright smile of the most beau
tiful and odorous flowers, decorating the same
with its bright foliage,
J tee some of the cousins have answered mj’
mental arithmetic example. The answer was
correct. Now, instead I will give the follow
ing:
3 hree men rented a pasture for ninety-two
dollars respectively, A. B and C. A put In two ,
hoises for four months; B. three cows for nine ]
months, and C. twenty sheep for five ninths, j
what should each one pay if one horse eats as |
much as two .cows or as much as ten sheep.
I am delighted to hearths cousins speak about
what they have read. Reading is one of the ’
pleasures ot my lite. Have any of the cousins J
ever read Nicholas Nicholby, Shakespoar’s or J
| Longfellow’s poems; they aie so nice, lama J
dear lover of poetry. ,
Next time I write I will describe my home in •
Coffee county. y
1 will close by wishing the paper with which
Cousin Dow Is connected, aud the cousins a j
pleasant time until 1 come again.
Edgar P. Lofi'EN, Red Oak, Ga.—Dear Cousin
Dow: I will write you a short letter and tell you 1
of a horse back ride a crowd of young folks took

they will excuse me here goes,) Misses Alma •
Aldridge,Margie Bishop and Genia Turner, the
former of Tell, Ga , and the latter of Osanda,
Ga. Master John Turner, Olin Aldridge and j
myself were the boys. We could only find five ,
mules, so one couple had to go in a sulky. That

my girl and the rest coMd’t liear me. But one
girl fell o£\ she would not have fallen Lad
her saddle girt broke for they could ri*Va almost
as well as the famous “May Lillie ”
We spent a deligil.ful evening ani lean as

Let me tell you Cousin Dow. how my girl
