occasion and the presence of the
little ones was a delight to all as
they entered into the pleasures of
the evening. The arrangements
were perfect, and the feast which
was the browning climax was never
before excelled in old Camden or
anywhere else. The address of
Mayor Sidney L. Peeler was an
instructive as well as an interest
ing feature. An orchestra played
in the hall throughout the even

other standpoints the banquet was
a success, and as one of the guests
Of the evening We editor can not

feature will be a strawberry sup
