I The farmers OF this section are
unusually busy about this time,
hauling in wheat, making hay
and blowing corn, all come to-

power machines this year.
The wheat crop is not turning
out very well, many farmers have
been disappointed in there esti-

Camping Out.
MCCoY's FERRY,
July, 16, 1881. !


Eds. Independent:
The Martinsburg Fishing Club,
which had been in camp here for q
a week, struck tent to-day and left
for home.
They had two large tents pitched
on the bank of the river, and were
we'll supplied with all kinds of camp
furniture, such as camp cook stove,
coffee pots, pans, dishes, tin cups,
knives and forks, &C., for the ac-
commodation of fifteen or twenty
men. They had with them two COL
ored cooks, who were kept busy pro-
viding meals for the hungry fisher
men.
They arrived here on Monday
morning, and spent the greater part
of the day in fixing uptheir quarters
arranging tables, cuisine depart
ment, &c. The members of the
club who arrived on Monday, were
Judge Faulkner, w. HI. III. Flick j.
N. Wisner and Joseph III. Shaffer,
Esq, DR.. Boak and w. It. Logan ALI
of Martinsburg, and Eli Fleming, OF
Little Georgetown; Captain Pratt,
of Carlisle Barracks, and doc"
Kelley, of Md, accompanied the
Club as invited guests.
The tents, baggage, &C., of the
Club was hauled from the Railroad
to the river by Mr.. LIS. Howard i'm
four-horse wagon. When they
hove in sight it reminded one of the
advance guard of a small army.
They were comfortably located
near magnificent spring of fine wat
er, and we should judge, had de-
lightfal time. They spent the day
out on the river in boats, fishing for
bass, and took considerable num-
bers. The evenings, after supper,
were passed at the tents, in social
conversation, smoking and yarn
spinning.
Among the visitors at the camp
during the week, we noticed Messrs.
Cooper, Blondell and Williams of
Martinsburg, and Messrs. Kilmer,
Ellis, Ross, Eversole, Howard, DR..
Mitchell, Kitchen, Walford, Rorp
and others from the surround g
country. &
We enjoyed the hospitality of the
camp during the week, and made q
note of many amusing incidents
which occurred, some of which we
may furnish you hereafter.
| The culinary department of the
camp was ran like tirst-class hotel,
and the table was beautifully sup
piled with fresh bass and all the
delicacies of the season. From
twelve to fifteen persons occupied
seats at the table at almost every
meal. We wish they had staid long
err. VISITOR.
