Sunbury Camping Party.

The cred Bridge Grove" oppo-
site Middlecreek from the place for
merly known as Bowers Grove, is
destined to bebe much-soughtplace
for camping parties and would be
sought still more for picnics if the
Pennsylvania II. II. Co. would do
with it as thev do with many other
similar places. Red Bridge Grove
is already desirable place to spend
summer weather, but it could be
made more so, if the party most in
terested, the p. r. II. Co., would
give it Il little attention and make a
flag station at the grove. On Sat
urday party from Sunbury and
their friends from other places pitch
ed their tents for ten days stay in
the grove. The persons who are
enjoying the mountain air are W. A.
FAIRIES and wife, Charles Cameron
and wife, Mrs. Laura Packer, Misse,
Reed, Davis, Haas, Cora Haas, of
Sunbury; Miss Houtz of Harris
burg; Misses Bregster and Geist, of
Philadelphia Miss VanIIorn, of
Kansas City; Messrs. Packer, Cam
Packer, Engle, Bruner, II. =. Lin
coin, Allison, Chas Clement, ofSm-
bury; Bert Hopkins, Of Pen Yam,
and Frank Geist, of Philadelphia.
The party is composed of a jolly
set Of people and it goes without
saying that they will have pleasant
time.
