First let me compliment Mr.
Rector's letter. I find truth in
every line he wrote.
Mr,3. Mary Amos has returned
home after an extended visit with
friends and relatives in Missouri
and Tennessee
Fred Noah was in Whitewright
Thursday.
Most of the farmers are through
planting corn.
Garden truck is large enough
to hoe.
Hello, Z. B. Saylors of Cooper,
Texas, tie your dogs for we are
.coming to see you in April.
When I get the weekly Herald
from my dear home town, with
delight I read its page3, with re
gret I lay it down. There I find
no glaring head lines, tales of
crime, or deeds of blood, but the
simple, common happenings of a
peaceful neighborhood. Where
all faces are familiar and where
both hands are stretched to greet
with cordial, hearty hand shake
an acquaintance on the street.
Trifles, say you? Well perhaps
so, but no word would I abridge
of the news from Brotherton, Al
good and Pleasant Hill, for they
bring back memories of old
friends with faces dear who had
always w.ords of welcome, words
of honest, hearty cheer. And all
small vexations vanish mid the tu
mult and the stress of a busy,
restless city as I read the weekly
press. Parizetta Vincent.
There will be another cruise of
22 ships go around the world in
1912 and I think perhaps this
ship will be in the cruise. I hope
it will as that will be a nice trip.
Hello, Noah L., why don't you
answer my letter? Say, Noah,
have you had any more Xmas
since Dec. 25?
R. P. Wake, up and write me
a letter and tell me'all the news.
Say, H. G. R., have you got
straight yet? We will ride that
mule some tima just for spite,
but I prefer a grassy place the
next time. Sailor Boy.

U. S. S. Tennessee
It is just like getting a letter
from home when I get the Herald,
although it takes' it 14 days to get
here.
We have just returned from
New York and are now in Guan
tonamo Bay, Cuba. We left New
York the 7th and arrived here the
13th. ' We were also in New Or-
leans.La., and had a fine time
there.
- ' c vvtit; aiming iv use 111 iir
York two weeks, but only stayed
there three days and received or
ders to return to Uuba at once.
I was very glad to leave New
York as it was very cold there
and lots of snow, it is nice and
warm here. I don't know how
long we will be here for we are
expecting orders to go to Mexico
as there is a stir-up there and
trouble with the Mexicans.
I will try to give you Tennessee
bos an idea of the U. S. S. Ten
nessee. This is an armed cruiser
504 feet long, 72 feet wide and 82
feet deep not including the mast.
We have 4 10-inch guns, 22 6-inch
and 16 3-inch. The shell of a 6
inch gun wheigs 110 pounds and
I don't know the exact weight of
a 10-inch shell but it is something
ovur 200 pounds. There are 945
men on this ship and it is like a
young town.
