: The camp will be in the village
park upon the bank of West Okabe
and is without doubt the most pleas
ant camping grounds in, the district.
The camp will be so guarded that it
will be pleasant and safe place for
women and children. No disturbance
of any kind will be allowed to, inter
fere with the quiet of the camp dur
ing the night. Those wishing to
camp out must furnish their own
tents, but they will be furnished good
clean straw to sleep upon and fuel for
cooking, The camp will be supplied
with water and ice free of expense.
All games of chance and all fakirs, of
every kind will be, excluded from the
city and the grounds. A suffers
store, we'll supplied with all necessary
articles for sale, will be upon the
grounds and the profits arising from
the sales therein will be used for the
purpose of helping to defray the ex-
penses connected with the encamp-
ment.
Without doubt we will have the
largest crowd at this encampment
that has been in Worthington for
many years past, and it is hoped that
all citizens will unite in making the
visitors feel at home. Let us see to
it that Worthington keeps her place
as being one of the best towns in the
state in which to hold any kind of a
meeting. Stoddard Post must fur
nish music, prepare camp, furnish
fuel, bedding, hay, water, ice, ETC.,
must pay for some freight, must do
the draying to and from the depot,
must entertain some Of the speakers
and pay other incidental expenses,
and should have at least $500 to meet
these expense. This amount can be
easily raised if each of our citizens
will do their share.
