UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE. GA„ AUGUST », ISIS Tf T! MRS HINES WRITES LETTER TO •HOME FOLKS" Atlanta, Ga. I*;«-dmont Hospital V.cust 6th, 1628, 'p, a r Folk* in Milledgeville: I have received so many letters and ds from you good friends of the -Old Home Town” that it would be impossible to answer them all, so 1 a i just “ending you a letter throu K . paper to say how I have ap- tin dated all those messages and to remind you that I still have a »um- l H , r .,f weeks arranged for at the ? , ime old stand—and the postman make* two trips a day. I have felt terribly selfish some days when 1 w ,. lU ’d receive all the mail on our ward—except maybe one letter. Hurrah for C. S. C. W. Thu i'rist people I saw when I ar- T j ve j a: the hospital were three G. r. \V. girls, Misses Helen Parker, Porothy Akin, and Margaret Camp— nre taking the course in dietetic* her, and have the management practically of the entire big kitchen Sunc job—.ind, believe me—its nict r. have a friend—in the kitchen m ver had better meals in my life. Fir»t Erperiences I wav terribly preen—had never oven visited a hospital, but about sis times in my life when this "urder to take up my nbode in one com* alonp. Of course, I was n "patient’ —and as such, my pulse and tempera ture -'ire taken three times a day—it was funny! with two weeks on “in mate” and one of the operations over with, they hasn’t yet been able to •care out anythinp but a "normal”— for wheih I am proudly prateful. When the "bip exam"—was over— without which no patient is allowed on nn operatinp table—the doctor nnn'-unced—“well I can’t find a thinp in the world the matter with you"— if I had been an undignified person— I would have jumped up and cracked mv heels—for there was never a woman lived that didn’t "fear” she had .anywhere from three to five of the "uncureable” deseases. "Gettinp my record" was another thinp that I had to have some fun about—but believe me—they know who, what, where, how, and why was 1 horn; now many eyeteeth and the number of my shoe. The last wa most necessary since it is to hav half of each foot cut off that I am "i for sixty day* 1 .” It seemed nothinp but fair to me, after havinp lived with a pair of No. 10 double E’s all my life that I should have a little say- *-> about this order—so I hove asked Maggie who brinps my tray—the head nurse, who bosses us all, and the doc tor who took "a drop of my life's blood" to see if there were any boll weevils in it. In this book will be the names of all you pood flok? who have written to me—and I have several papes devoted to guests—so if you will just come up you can write your name too. The last home folks to see me were Misses Alice Hall and Sara Allen who were spend- inp the week-end with Miss Mae As- bury with them was “Jere"—of- course! I was fftirely K lad to see them —afldfunny—funny—they expected to find me about "passed out”—bless their hearts—but we manaped to arc up a few lauphs and one joke. Take care of the "Old Home Town" while I .tun away. Don’t let the whiteway lights disappear, and get all the paving done. Way sorry to miss the Methodist get- together picnic—know it was great. Don't let the city water question get too hot—don’t know which half of the council I side with—glad water’s pure—but am always om looking ahead to keep things from getting “out-of-relack.” Smile at "the judge" when you —him—we may think he ought to feel down nnd out—but a new- called “my wife's gone to the hospi tal” might prove as popular us old one that took her “to the c try"—and you know how that \ Milledgeville is stall thp garden ypot of the earth to me and it yill be a happy day when I can “scl foot” on her green grass ind be able to bnct more “play in my own back yard.” Best wishes to you all, "havinp a wonderful time, wish you were here.’ 1 Is ever, NELLE WOMACK HINES. P. S. We were all havinp such a pood time, Mae, Alice, Sara and Jere, that they forgot to write in my book —somebody please pape them and tell them I say "come hack.” Dr. J. L.

I going to raise your wagea” Mike, all excited, said: "No, *, hejabbers, no. I lose enough •w when I’m off a day." Dear God, I need You awrful bad; I don’t know what to do. My papa’s cross, my nvima’s sic I got no friend* but You. Them keerless angels went and brung, ’Stid of the boy I ast, A weenchy, teenchy baby girl; I don’t see hoy they dast! And God, I wish’t you’d take her back; She’s just as good as new; Won't no one know she’s second hand, But ’ceptin’ me and You. An’ pick a boy, dear God, Yourself, The nicest in Your fold. But please don’t choose him quite so young; I'd like him five years old.

Yi not my pa.” E. M.: "No, but I’m bringing you up.’’ New Assistant: "Gentleman aski If this flannel shirt wil lshrink.” Proprietor: “Does it fit him?” “No, it’s too large." “Yes, of course it shrinks.’ "What does your father do?” "Nothing.” "And you?” "I take .after my father."
