built at Bear Hammock and kept under
the supervision of Gen. John Floyd. It
was there that the Camden County
Hunting club organized in 1882, held it's
meetings, made its rules and imposed
its fines
The charter members of the club
were Charles r. Floyd, Richard Floyd,
Henry Floyd John Floyd, Ben Hopkins,
J. q. Dilworth, James Holzendorf, John

After the days hunt, sometimes with
the luck of 16 deer, an elegant dinner

Gertrude Atherton's latest novel, .Pa-

been declared by the book committee of
the Mechanics Institute in San Francisco
to be unfit to circulate. This action was
the result of a request made some days ago
by Arthur Inkersly that the novel be add
the circulating list of the library. The
book was purchased and its pages were
scanned for Objectionable sentences and
paragraphs. According to Chairman Leg
gett, the committee experienced no diff
Guilty in finding them and so the committee
has reported. Upon learning OF this de-
cision, the authors friends insisted that the
book fairly represented American manhood
and womanhood, but the book committee
persisted in refusing to admit it. All in
all there is pretty controversy on, and
to-day one can not buy copy of the book
for love or money, as the action of the In
stitute caused every volume speedily to
find an eager purchaser.
Here is another instance of eating for

had been raised, it would probably have
