selves, their children and friends.
They have been blessed with ten
children, all of whom are living. mar
ried and have families, and they were
all present except one daughter, living
in Dakota. The day was spent in
happy family reunion, and during the
afternoon and evening 'open house"
was kept for their many friends, who
called upon them in their handsome
new residence and wished them many
happy returns of the joyful day, and
many added years of health and happy
union. The presents which were left
were numerous and elaborate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Casterton have been
residents of Winnesheik county for 48

The Brandywine Summit Camp
meeting Association met in annual
session on the camp grounds Thursday
afternoon. g. w. Day, the president
presided. Presiding Elder Robert Watt,
William H. Foulk and L. [. Grubb
were appointed nominating com
mittee. They reported the nomination
of the following officers, who were
elected unanimously:
President, Mr. Day; Vice President,
| the Rev. Il. E. White; Treasurer,
Thomas W. johnson; Secretary, |.
| Elmer Perry trustees for three years.
the Rev. X. H. Adams, j. X. Handy
and L. w. Jordan.
The financial report showed the re,
ceipts for the last year to be 1894 and
the expenditures Ss34 With the bal
ance in hand, all the indebtedness OF the
association was liquidated.
1t was decided that the camp will he
opened on Thursday, August 18th, and
closed on Tuesday, August 10th. This
is a week later than usual, and it is
expected that the tenters will have the
advantage Of moonlight nights during
the progress of the meetings. The Rev.
r. II. Adams, pastor of Union M. +.
Church, was chosen to be minister in
charge of the services. He will designate
his staff of assistants later.
Thursday, June 18th, was selected as
location day, when the sale of privi-
lepes and other business will be
arranged.
1t developed during the meeting that
there is a possibility of the camp being
located in Delaware, although nothing
toward this action has been considered.
Since the last meeting there has been
case brought in Pennsylvania to test
the legality of charging of an entrance
fee at campmeetings. Suit was brought
against the collector at the entrance OF
Johanna Heights Camp, who was
charged with violating the Sunday
laws by taking an admittance fee on
that day. The district judge has de.
cided against the Johanna Heights
, Association, but the case recently was
appealed to higher court, in which 8
decision has not been given.
In view of tho uncertainty about the
matter, the trustees Of Brandywint
Summit thought 1t would he in
advisable to erect fence this year
1t was the sense of the trustees tina
should the higher court affirm the de
cision of the district court, making i
illegal to charge at the gate on Sun
!, days, an attempt would be made t.
: locate the camp in the State of Della
