splendid meeting, a good attendance
by our own members and numerous
visiting neighbors from eastern and
local camps, all loaded with social and
fraternal remarks. Our worthy consul,

indicating a most hearty welcome for
all members present, especially visit
ing neighbors from far and near.
Much important business was trans
acted, some of the foremost being the
organization of sick department.
Nearly the entire membership of Sun
set camp signed their names to the
roster for membership in the sick de-
partment. Officers were elected and
committees appointed to complete de-
tails at meeting in the near future.
Dr. ]. S. Hall was elected physician of
the sick department. The Doctors

is a guarantee that the members will
receive first-class medical attention
when in need of the same. Sunset

pate in their regular annual memorial

modern Woodmen graves will be un-
