Editor Journal.—If you will al
low me spaae in your paper I will
write a few lines, as this is my
first time to write to The Journal.
We sure appreciate reading The
Journal, as it seems like a letter
from home, sweet home.
Well this is a very pretty coun
try and they have some fine land
here. The crops have been a fail
ure here for about three years.
The crop of cotton averaged this
year about one-fourth of a bale
per acre. They do not raise any
corn here and very few hogs are
raised. The principal crops are
cotton, maize and oats.
Well, we have moved to Melvin,
Tex., a little town about five miles

first came out here, and we will
kindly ask you to send our Jour

They have fine schools in Texas.
They have a good school here, but
as there are not many children
they have not many teachers em
ployed. This is the first school
that has been taught in the new
brick building at Melvin.
Well, as I cannot write to all my
old friends I thought I would
write to The Journal.
I will close for this time. I will
write more next time.
Very truly yours,
Gladys Robertson
