Letter from a Little Girl
- Priceville, Miss.

Dear Editor:

I am a student at the Priceville school.  I am eleven years old and I like to go to school.  I am in the fifth and sixth grades.  Miss Linda Bell Young of Nettleton is the Principal and Mr. Brown is the assistant.  I think they are good teachers.  I think all of the school girls ought to write to the Tupelo Journal.  It would be so nice for all to correspond with each other.  We are having some rain in the country.  I had better not stay too long as this is the first time I have written.  I hope to see this in print.
- Jesker May Webb
