MILTON NEWS.

On the night of the 18th, of June 1919
the elements put out the last camp fire Of
Napoleon Bonaparte, and with the sun
that sunk behind the Belgium hills the
following evening, the star that arose at
Foulon and Shone resplendent over Jena,
Borodino, Austerlitz, MareRgo, Ascola'
and a host of other sanguinary fields,
sank forever On the night of July 18th,
1906 the elements tried to do the same
thing on Lavinia's Camp ground, but by
the herculean efforts of DIR. Leonard this
catastroph was adverted The omni-
presence of this man averted a stampede,
that he alone could have qHelled. The
camp at Lavinia is over; it lives only in
memory; part of the heart-broken peo-
pie are gone to their homes to mediate
over the events of the past, and bless
God they were able to be here once more.
The social success of this meeting will
inger, for many months, in the minds OF
many,-perhaps too many. The camp
appeared to be mad on Monday morning,
when amid a drizzling rain, the tent
holders, were moving back to town. They
said; "we are not mad; but it is different
in moving-out and moving in-One Is
in anticipation, the other is after your
work is done. On Monday morning
some transient element commenced to
get out of Milton; but many yet linger to
get their visit over" We suppose the
finances are all right, as there was not
much expense this year.
The colored people will hold camp
on Layinia s, and near to the white camp.
They will furnish their own tents.
Theodore Z. Primrose says a man who
carries as much money as himself, or the
writer, has no business on the camp
ground after night.
William Baker was arrested at his home /
near Sand Hills on Tuesday night, on a
charge of whipping his wife, ,and brought |
to this town, and confined in the lookup |
over night. The charge was preferred by /
David Postles, neighbor, at the instance
If Mrs. Baker. On "Wednesday about
II O'Clock the prisoner was arranged be-
ore Squire Collins, and Constable Bar
ulia, with the witnesses in the case, and
With closed doors,-a Court of Star
Jhamber-the prisoner was sent to Jail.
We understand that $1,000 bail was re-
luired, but no outside party knew it un-
il afterward. We want it understood
We are no apologist for any man who
Whips his wife, but there is an adage that
ays, "Let justice be done though the
leavens may fall" It looks now as
hough Constable Barsuglia is exercis-
ng the Office of Peace, un-
er the suzerainty of Eli L. Collins, JUS
ice-of-the-Peace ex-offico.
