THE SOUTHERN WORLD, JUNE 1ft, 1882, 13 V1IB YOUNG FOEHN I,KTTEK-liOX. C'i.ahkk, 8. O.—I was Interested in the article on 'Trolltable Bee Keeping” In the Southkbn Woki.ii, and would like to know more about It. Iluivo twenty two hives and would like to know how to keep them from worms. We have a very good crop this year. The flowers In our yard are as white as snow and grow on green (roes. It anybody would like to have some of tnem, let them writo to me. Dobs Aulks. Hazlkiiukht, Miss.—This is only a very bad little brown-eyed boy, just six and a half monthsold, who weighs about twenty pounds and has two teeth. My papa takes your vuluable paper and I am always delighted when he will let me have It to look at. I know you think me quite young to write, so I will tell you how it Is. I am sitting quietly (?) In my muijima's lap, and she Is writing (or me. Kuoknk W. Bav. Wavkhly Hall, (1a Tell Miss Willie Carter, of Iowa, that I am a very little girl eight years of age, and 1 live lu a thickly settled neighborhood and have a good many nice associates. I have a nice time going to school. I have a very kind preceptor. Doesshogo to school? As for making presents for boys, I do not know much about that, as 1 haven’t but one small brother. I am so small I don’t know much ubout making presents of any kind. I guess she has a nice time at the “Cooking Club.” JKNN'IK Beal). A n iis.ii.sun , 8. C.—I am a little South Carolina hoy; my brother, Jim Frank takes your paper, the HottTIIKBN Wobi.I) ; we are always glad to get it. I have a colt one yuar old named Blrt; I go to school to my half sister, Maggie Andersou, I also taku music lessons, which I don’t like a bit; I think that Is girls’ work. My half brother, Willie Anderson, lives In Columbia; he is luarnlng to be a machinist which I want to be when I get old enough. My brother Thomp is going to be u farmer; he Is going to try for the prise on corn. Claudk H. Bbkazkalk. Kve’h Station. Oa.—I thought I would tell you of our old turkey gobbler that set and hatched some turkeys and chickens and was so proud of them, anil of the turkey hen that batched some ducks and tries to take care of them. My chickens and ducks follow me ubout the yard und know their nunics. I also have a little motherless calf that I raised on a bottle. We go fishing sometimes but do not catch many fish. I like to go to school und am learning music. 1’upa takes your puper und I enjoy rcudlng the "Udlur- Box” very much. Olivk Davis. BLACKVILLK, 8. C\—As you allow me to give you a description of the teacher’s expedition, I will begin by saying; lie came down early on Saturday morn ing. lie and his crowd sat down and ate breakfast, us they did not eat before they came, It being so early when they started from home. As soon us they had Iluished they started to Ashing; all the rest of the party were catching lish right along but the teacher could notcutch any. He remained until about one o’clock and caught one Hall all the time that he was there. If It had not been for the rest of the party they would not have brought but one Ash home. They had with them a good old lislierman and he was the cause of such good luck. We have some of thu A nest plums that I ever saw. My mother raised them and ulso some very due peaches. Mabion Izi.au. Sknatouia, Miss.—All subscribers, I believe, hnve thu privilege granted to them to write and contribute something to the “Young Folks Letter-Box.” 1 will nut tell how old I am ns everybody tells their age. I will let you guess by my letters. 1 live in a small town of ubout one thousand Inhabitants, In the Northern portion of Mississippi, uud about eighty- six miles from Mumphts, Tennessee. I am not going to school now. Our school wusout four or live weuks ago. Our teacher required us to write compositions. The young folks had a Ash-fry last Friday, and we had a splendid time going down to the creek In wagons. We spread our dinner on the bridge and It wus just splendid. We took pistols, shotguns, tar get guns and croquet Bets und had a delightful time shooting and playing croquet. I would like It so much If some of the boys und girls would correspond with me und I would bo delighted to answer their letters. I think It would be so nice to have an unknown cor respondent. My papa lives In Griffin, Georgia, about forty miles bolow where your paper Is published. My sister and myself was out on a visit to him last wluter. We live with our uncle and aunt. I will tell you ubout my visit lu my next letter. Mbnla Slaton. lticu’s Stobk, S. C.-I am not so young as many of your correspondents—I am near fifteen yArn old; but I thought as your columns were open, I would help Interest your readers. The Soutukbn World Is very popular with us, und certainly must greatly Interest the planter every where; In fact, all classes. Entering our forests you will And fruit nenrly all the year. There Is uo end to borrles, The whortle berry abounds In all Its varieties, from the Torrid to the Frigid Zones. Including the winter kind, they arc to be found from May to April—eleven months In the year. Sometlmesthelow-bush varieties lie black on the ground, while the gooseberries often decom pose all over our hills, stock not being sufficient to consume them. They He In heaps, both the yellow and tho blue kind. The whortleberry abounds In our swamps and all over our hills. The blackberry, in Its season, blackens our hedge-ways and old Helds; even the road-sides are often enclosed with this pleas ant fruit. But not to be tedious, acorns, from every variety almost of oaks, abound. This past winter our forests were Hlled with wild pigeons in pursuit of them. Hickory nuts alBo abound, which supply food for multitudes of nimble little squirrels, who dlsplny their uucoramou activity as they spring from bough to bough In their play. The pines, both long and short straw, frequently besprinkle our forests and fields all over with Its mast. This fruit calls forth legions of blackbirds. Hogs fatten rapidly thereon. It Is useless to mention the persimmon, tho red and yellow haws, abounding everywhere and feeding various animals from four to six months in the year, I should bavesald In my last, thirty miles west, In an fllr-llno direction from Columbia to Augusta. C. J. 8. Atlanta,Ga.-A few days ago I came across a copy of the Boutubbn Wobld, a paper heretofore un heard of by me. In looking through its columns, I found It to be both Interesting and instructive, and I felt that I had lost a great deal of pleasure und In formation by not knowing of Its existence earlier. I shall spend some time In Atlanta with my uncle, who, I suppose, takes the paper, and when I leave, shall certainly take It (or myself. Although a boy of fifteen, I enjoy looking over the bright little letters ol the young folks’ department, and U it Is agreeable would like to enlist my name among them. I trust tho fair young misses will not object to having a little English gentleman take his stand beside them, und so, begging pardon should It bo considered an Intrusion, I lift my hat with an elaborate bow, and step Into rank. I have written letters frequently to a youth’s paper and have always been honored by seeing them appear In print. My home Is not In Atlanta, but far away among the grand old moun tains of Kentucky, where I have a romantic country home, which I think the most glorious place on earth. My grandparents on my mother’s side, reside In England, and I am looking forward with much pleasure to a visit lam to pay them soon. My mother has been making me many pleasing promises con cerning this visit for quite a while; wheu It Is all over, I shall write and tell the cousins how I enjoyed mv- self there. I spend mos( of my time In school, but have been taking holiday this year on account ol weak eyes. I got very lonely sometimes for I have neither brother or sister. I have been away from my dear mother and home for six months, ami ulthough I have been enjoying myself as much as a hoy could away from home, I have been homesick two or three times. My father has a large pond on Ills place and a neighbor boy and myself have built a handsome bout to ride In during holidays. We are always de lighted to give any of llie girls a ride who will honor us with a visit. Would—would—ahem! that Is— would any one of the dear misses, about twelve or thirteen years old, mind writing a letter loan awk ward country boy like myself ? There! there! I hnve made myself blush,su, with a reluctant good-by to all, 1 will close, und wall until next time to tell you huw I look. Allow me to sign myself. Mountain Dkicr. NEW XJEn?A.HTtTrU3.
