There were a great many people
out Sunday evening to observe the

somewhat unfavorable circumstan-

the entire time by thin haze, and
when the moon was visible between
the riffs of clouds no features of.
especial interest could be observed.

is the occasion of the medal con-

minstrels and farce comedy. The
Camden Musical Association is pre-
pairing an excellent program for
the week of circuit court. A fine
selection of music will be rendered,
and the program will include sever

THERE'S a strong sentimentamong
the Baptistbrethren Of Camdenand
vicinity, who have long keenly felt
the great need of suitable house
of worship, in favor Of erecting a
church building at this place. The
knights Of Pythias are also consid-
ering the feasibility of building, as
they have no castle hall atthisp place.
1T has been suggested, and the idea
is meeting with considerable en-
couragement, that the members of
the knights of Pythias could join
the Baptists in erecting a handsome
two story brick building, the first
| floor to be used for a church and
the second floor as a castle hall for
the Knights Of Pythias.
