You will each recall that I wrote in my first letter if you would just hold your Subscriptions until Mother could get to see you that we would certainly go over to see my Grandpa and Grandma Mloorhead in Union County in the au tomobile for the Christmas holidays. Well sure enough we did, and Daddy left word at home for Santa Claus to just come over there, so on Christmas morning my Aunt Belle, who teaches school at lickory 'T'avern, opened the parlor door just before Grandma's an nouncement for breakfast, and there I beheld a most beautiful tree with lots of pretty things which Old Santa had brought all the way from Gold ville for me. Santa had also been no titled that a little first cousin of mine would be there too, but at, the last minute Grandma had a letter from her Mother stating that her Daddy's col lections had been so poor they could n't make the trip. Her Daddy is a physician in Beaufort so I guess there are other physicians who can sym pathize with this poor old Daddy. Well, Santa left a whole lot of bun dles there for Syvie Moorhead Hughes anyway, and Grandma had a time keeping me from tearing into them. Syvie ia only nine (lays younger than mie, she will be two year~s old on Jan ulary' 18th. WVell, we were all very mui1ch dlisappiointedl not to have them, bunt we had a good thme J ust (lie same. .\l e, Mlam ma, Daddy, and .\iliss .\1ayo iboper' (ofrI lekory TIavern ), left here for tlinionl County, or' to lbe exact. for .\t. 'labor, a boult t welvye o'clock, Decc. 2 ithi and~ all along the road M\amiima wvould fuss at Daddy becaus~e lihe1( idnt knowv how to dodge (lie blliups ihe r'oadi, until tinially Daddy couldn't stand it any longer andi impolitely stoppedl the car and invitedi M\amma to take the wheel. Well that eased mat (er's for awhIilie and~ thieni it all starmted again when we got nearer to Grland nm's and D~addy said lhe bli eved lie could~ (dtect (lie sml~l of that big tu rkey, fr'uit cake, etc., and~ tis (caused~ imI to give (lie autIomiobi le miorec juiice, wh'ich(1, of course5, cleated mlore bumpils withI ani Inex perieniced dr iverI. I low ever, we made the trip in good time and d idn't have to get Oilt (if (lie car diur'ing the w~hole journey. .liss .31aye dioesni't wanit it told, but she met "George" over' there, thie reO suilt of which she is wvearing a dliamlonid ring. I hardly know what diamonds meiani, but I hedarId Daddy say it wvas gettiing miatter's in a sei'i eus position. On our' r'eturnl trip we had with us besides Alanmma, D~addy anid ime; Mliss Mlaye Roper, Miss Coi'a Watson and my beloved Aunt Bello. We spenft Mfonday night in Spartanbui'g, and left there Tuesday morning in a heavy r'ain, and it p~ourled all the way to Goldvilie. We all praised Daddy for his masterly driving, as lie onily got into the ditch one time, and had it not been for the assistanice of thriee hand some little boys just about three miles abiove Laui'ens I guess we wvould have all gotten our1 feet wet. But these lit tle fellows camne to our rescue and~ we inivitedi them to Comle to Gboldville to see us, but failed to take their iiames so I can't call thiemn by name. I wish I coulld. Now', I want to again mention my prloposition which I made priior to the closhig Of the ontest.T menrmised that we would take the three next highest who did not win any of the prizes on a trip to Greenville, etc. I 'phoned to rho Advertiser ofilce this morning to flnd out for sure the names of these three. They are, Mrs. Victor Weath ers, Mrs. J. A. Wofford (Aunt Kate), and Master Albert Dial. Now, we are ready to make this trip at any time, but since Aunt Kate had such an awful time with the rain some weeks ago, Daddy says let's wait until warm weather and when the weather is more settled, and since it is warmer on the front seat Daddy says Aunt Kate has got to sit beside him. In fact I think Daddy has kind of fallen in love with Aunt Kate on sight un seen: Again I want to assure all, who as sisted Mamma by giving their sub scri'tions to her, of our sincere thanks, and if ever it is our oppor tunity to return the favor, please com mand us. Should there be a mistake in any way relative to your subscription kindly take it up with Mr. Editor, and if he doesn't straighten it out, you write my Mamma and she will assist the editor in getting it straight. I want to express my sincere re grets to those who did not win the au tomobile, and to assure them that it was quite a pleasure to me to walk away with the prize. However, 1 know \l iss Franks has had a pleasant Christmas by a big cheery lire enjoy ing the Victrola, and Mrs. Todd with a beautiful watch when my automo bile has passed into history, and I guess Mliss Rennett has a (old flank Account which will grow from year to year, as my bank account will grow less and less, since gasoline has soared so awfully high. (ee! but it costs money to run an automobile. Last but not least, Mr. Editor, I am almost laid up in hed with an awful cold, and I just know it was brought about from too much riding. With kindest regards, I am, Win. I lopkins Moorhead. P. S.-By the way, Daddy was pres mnt when the ballots were counted on the night of Dec. 20th. and from what he says I want to commend the con test manager for the fairness shown each contestant. It was indeed a pleasant contest covered with lots of hard work. rr Isix Mor IBargai Hundrec the imm I our Gre I dreds h~ with th< next six I learn ti I ~Switzer$ i JOIN 1 I BUYEF MONE' DEPAF DON'T I there ar dise arti Ito pleas4 DON'T FOR CLOSES 1 Isw LThe Dry Gc m--ms A CHAIR Built for Service Maple Frames---Hickory Rounds Woven Cane Seats---a wonderful value at 65 cents.
