My Dear Mr Tolley: I have just been reading the dear old County Record, which is indeed a treat to a poor homesick school girl. It is something to which I always look forward with pleasure from week to week; for there are but few things that I really enjoy more than reading my own home paper, through and through and in and out. I enjoy every bit of it, and never slight even the advertisements. Now, since this dear paper means so much to me, I feel that I would like, in a small measure, to show my I appreciation by writing a short news letter about the college and our work here, to The Record once or twice a month; that is, if you , think my letters are worth printing and can allow me the space in your ^ paper. Hoping to hear from you soon, j I remain, Very sincerely yours, Jennie Lee Epps. r Columbia College, February 4. We heartily appreciate the above letter from Miss Epps and shall be J glad to have a letter from her on college affairs for publication in The Record any time she may find it convenient to write. Miss Jennie Lee v Epps' appreciation shows that she is a chip off the old block, for nearly v every member of her father's fami- . ly is a valued subscriber to The Record, among them being one sister, Miss Leila Mossie Lpps, wno nas ior several years been engaged in missionary work in Brazil.
