CAMP MEETING NOTES.

There was large crowd at Camp
Meeting last Sunday in spite of the
unfavorable appearance of the
weather in the morning. 1t raineo
hard the night before and looked
like rain Sunday morning so that
many people were deferred from
starting. Later in the day it cleared
oft and the afternoon was fine and
the Camp Grounds crowded anyhow.
A special train-load came up from
Grafton and all along the line and
about thirty licensed hacks were
kept busy hauling people back and
forth between the grounds and rail
road. A special train-load went up
from Kingwood and will run again
next Sunday and if the day is fine
there will be a tremendous crowd
there. The Boarding House, man
aged by c. A. Craig, did rush
ing business and is better kept than
ever before. There is Is some horse
trading going on in spite of the
rules against it within two miles of
the grounds. There was also more
or less liquor on the grounds and
one fellow was nabbed Sunday by
Deputy Marshal d. r. Jackson for
illegal selling. He was arrested
while with his girl and taken off 10
the Grafton jail. lis reported that
two women had scrap on the
grounds and pulled hair in a lively
manner. There was a serious run
away Sunday evening in which Ollie
Bncklew, son of Jasper Bucklew,
who lives down on Birds Creek,
got his buggy smashed up and
knocked out pretty badly himself
SO that he had to be carried into a
nearby house and taken home.

There is some rather severe crit
icism Of the President in political
circles in the national capital on ac-
count of the recent naval review.
That review ordered by the Pres
ident to be held practically IN his
backyard in Oyster Bay, partook
much Of the autocratic methods Of
the Gar or the Kaiser, no previous
President ever ordered the ships Of
the American Navy to come to his
home in order 70 review them and
make war-like speech TO the offic-
ers and men Of the Navy. That re-
view for which there was no need
or warrant, except to make hood
lum holiday for the inhabitants OF
Oyster Bay and vicinity, cost the
taxpayers Of the country not less
than fftvlthousand dollars for pow.
der burned in salutes to the Com.
mander.in-Ch Of the American
Navy. lie may next take a notion
tina he wants 70 review the Amer.
can Army II he does il will cost
the people not leas than a half mil.
lion dollars % concentrate the
troops for the review. The people
need not be surprised al anything.
