Our Muscatine neig hbors 10 the extent Of
about one hundred, came up in the Jennie
Whipple yesterday morning, to visit their
triend' in camp. The day was anything but
favorable for such an occasion, though like
sensible people, they made the best of it.
They visited the camps without regard to
weather. and enjoyed themselves as they best
might. The gentlemen got along very weal,
but it wss real tough on the ladies. Crinoline
couldn't endure such wind % We had yester.
day, no hov. We noticed several baskets oil
good things going up to the boys. and We have

We hope it will be . fine day and more Of it
