 Since the start of the camp several weeks ago the affaire of, the camp have been in excellent shape The past week especially has been one of good cheer to Captain odom and his competent corps of nssistantsg More than the usual number of those who are deemed worthy have been given a weeks stay in the summer camp and have enjoyed the outing.
 During the week also the camp has been renovated tosa great extent. New about thoroughly cleaned and another tent has been erected.
 It iB announced that the camp will run longer this year than ebny year heretofore. Captain Odom announces that on account of the numerous ap. plications which have been received and the number of persons deemed worthy to take for the two weeks out ing has been largely increased. Not to disappoint these persons. the camp will therefore be run for two weeks longer than heretofore.
 The people of Montgomery have al- ways supported Captain odom in his work among the poor of the city. and when 1t becomes known that the treas ury of the camp Is running low Cap tain odom says that he is confident that the people of Montgomery will increase their donations to this splendid prac- tical work.
