music, and the bay is grand sight from

Camp Randolph, Highgate Springs,
ought to find place in any souvenir
book of Randolph as one of the features
OF our live town. 1t is a little commun-
ity OF dozen cottages, owned by our
own folks, to which they repair during
the heated term for surcease from the
MOL and toll of home life. The owners
not only use their cottages themselves,
but invite their friends to share the en-
joyment, or rent them, if they please.
There is large and nicely appointed
boarding house, where most of the camp
ers take their meals, which are rather
more than ''plain and wholesome" being
fully up to the mark of hotel fare. The
expense of meals is shared on an equal
basis per meal, figured up after the end of
the season, running usually from 10 to 20
cents only. Tired housewives find the re-
lief from getting 'three meals a day.

and hired by others. The only g BOD
drinking water in the locality is obtained
from the camp well, and splendid water
it is, too, for which neighboring campers
come eagerly and drop their ''penny a

body who comes to camp is made to feel
that it is real outing place, and there is
warmth and cordially here that does
not exist even at home. The little visits.

and advantages obtained at very reason.

our camp, and it ought to count as
among the features of our town, for it is
primarily intended for Randolph people
and is owned and managed by them.
