Everything at Camp Scales is in readi-
ness for the opening of the encampment on
Wednesday. The tents are handsomely
and conveniently arranged, an abundance
the encampment grounds, and every COM
fort has been provided for. We know the
boys will have comfortable quarters.
The Wilmington Star suggests, and
very properly, that employers of that
city should give their clerks who belong
to the military, leave of absence from
business to attend the encampment. It
ought to be done all over the State. The
young men are faithful, and hardwork
ers, and are entitled to two weeks re
creation. We hope this suggestion will
be observed everywhere. 1t is nothing
but justice.
Madison county has at last gottenhold
of the right breed of COWS. One attemp-
ted to take possession of the railroad
track, near Marshall, a few days ago, just
about the time the train came along, and,
of course collision took place. In the
scene that ensued, the cow was lifted
not only off her feet, but off the track,
and tumbled over square upon her
head She laid still few moments, as
if meditating upon things in general, and
cow-catchers in particular, but having
solved the problems to her evident dis
gust if not satisfaction, she quietly arose
and went about her business, chewing
the cud of sweet content, we reckon.
The long felt want has been for COWS
who could tackle the railroad engine
without damage to themselves, or to the
exchequcr of the railroad company.
Madison seems to have solved the vexed
question We congratulate her. She
ought to get ricl on that investment.
