LAKE RIDGE.
troops.

Thirteen families of old Company K,
from Van Vert, Ohio, will out at Lake
Ridge for two weeks, beginning the
middle Of the month.
They do say the katydids begin six
weeks from frost. Well, they have
been running their frost makers about
five weeks now.
One of the old Camp Troy boys, that
the Bellefontaine girls used to be SO
interested in, rolled in on his wheel,
yesterday. He says the old crowd is all
broke up, everyone married. How
could he expect anything else? But
perhaps he was unaware. This, how
ever, is wholesale slaughter.
Standing room only is the sign again
displayed. The boys can tell you they
saw Manager Yarnell pack in and place
even his last cot.
Harry Garwood says he never yet got
enough of Lake Ridge. There is some
thing about the air that fills one with
vague unrest and an insatiate desire to
return.
Camp meeting will in all probability
be made a permanent organization at
Lake Ridge, and will, if possible, grow
into Chatauqua.
Mr.. Mosher, Secretary of the Scripps-
McRea League, has made himself still
more famous, by the landing of a six
and quarter FOUNDER.
Mrs. Charlie Folsom says she is a little
disfigured but still in the ring.
Nothing was ever promised at Lake
Ridge that was not fulfilled.
Lake Ridge hotel will be enlarged
again the coming year. And that's no
dream.
Mrs. Allie Spencer and daughter are
down for short stay with Rev. Ander-
son.
Old Mr.. Horn fell in, Tuesday, but it
was where he could crawl out. Says it
is the first time such thing has hap
pened him in fourteen years. Mr..
Horn is one of the quietest, pleasantest
corners here, and we wish him a life oi
thousand years.
We had the rest of Wittenberg college
here the past week.
Clifton, George and Robert Folsom,
three brothers and three of the finest
unmarried boys in the State, are un'
trammeled and running at large here
Among the notables of the guests is
II. E. Cares, Honolulu, H. l., U. S. A.
He has been a resident of Honolulu fol
seven years and is replete with remin
iscences. It is as good as a trip across
the water to meet him.
Oh, this peculiar air! Are you aware!
Well, ah there and beware and take
care. A sweet bird is whispering il
the ear of Mistress Cussagain.
There are some more people in from
Whooppole county. Walkuptokoneta
The real glory of camp life and camp
ing time is at hand. From now forward
and to the finish camps and camper
will predominate.
Well, camp meeting being over th'
gate returns to its normal fee of fiv,
cents per person and five cents per rig

Rev. S. remains for another week, an
while he will not deviate from tn
paths of the fisher of men for tn
