I am sure that any one who Uvea at Watoree will agree with me that , rt i* ? fine place to !?*?*, if for no other reason hot to have a nice house (a live in. Kverything in so convenient al?out tho houses, fiUir and light is always at hand, and one day of each we#?k th?- light* are on for the people to iron. Thin saves a lot of wood and i? u more convenient way of ironing. We also. have beautiful trees in our y?rd? to shade our porches and thin alao beautifies the- village. Hut this in not the only rea?on why I like to live at Wateree for there are sev eral others which I am goinjf to tell you ubout. We havo a nice church where wo have two wonderful uormonn every .Sabbath day. We also hare prayer meeting every Wedp^aday night and everybody ha? such a nice time. And our Sunday School \* doing fine. I be lieve it grown larger every Sunday. We have a nice time when we get together and there are those good old "-ttihle stories. When we tell others of our good times they can't bear the idea of staying away ho the next Sun day they are there too. Our parents have a riite.^roill to work in and everybody co-operates with the mill officials. My father *ays Mr. Hallett, the superintendent, ia a rtno man. He ahyuys wears a Hinil* on his face and everybody likes him. We have a nua nurse to look after 'he Hick people and that inn't all she doew, but she is no k md-^aa- to help entertain us girls and boys by or ganising clubs for us. We all think well of her and are sure she deserves a. reward. Vhere are playgrounds fixed for us to play on when we Come from school and I'm Him* our parents would rather we would play there than to ho at sonic other hou.su worrying our friend's mothers. There is tin* pOnd where those who wish can go tishing, swimming or boat- riding. This iH a fine way to pass the lime on a lonesome day. In every way possible the mill Is trying to educate its employees. They have made? it possible for thom to go to night school. I'm sur^ tliey appre ciate. ?ul1i kindncus. The aldermen of the village have everything arranged so that we live in comfort, health and happiness. It !??? vei'y .seldom that any trouble ar im-s on the \ illngc. !
