COLLEGE STUDENTS
BACK FROM EUROPE

Carl Ackerman and Russell Wright,
we'll known Earlham students have re-
turned to this city from a trip to Eng
land. The two with Arthur Clevenger,
also a graduate of Earlham this year
shipped to Liverpool, July on the
cattle boat, Canadian" Out of thirty
two cattlemen in charge of the 1,1OO
cattle which were being shipped to va
rious points in the old country there
were eleven college men.
After arriving at Liverpool the three
local men visited a number of points
of interest in England. Clevenger was
Obliged to return Ave days after they
landed on account of pressing busi-
ness matters. Ackerman and Wright
left Liverpool August on the return
trip and the steamer, "Devonian" en-
countered fierce storm which lasted
four days. The local men state that a
number of the passengers did not
move from their hunks for three days.
Wright and Ackerman say that they
thoroughly enjoyed the trip aid ,nat
it was a great experience.

flour to Cincinnati and in bringing
salt back to this county.
Had Many Hardships.
Numerous hardships were endured
by the family of David Doddridge
when the family moved from Pennsyl-
vania to this county. An interesting
prose selection was recited by Mr..
Doddridge which he had committed to
memory sixty years ago.
With the exception of seven years,
Nathan Maudlin has lived in this
county his entire life. He has been
quite conspicuous in making Wayne
county's history.
Edward Teas has the distinction of
being the first grower of the Seeding
catalpa speciosa. This tree is now
grown in every section of the world
and is considered to be the best tim
ber grown in the universe.
AS a nurseryman and florist Mr..
Teas made three trips to Europe. He
was fruit grower and a florist in this
country for more than sixty years. He
believes that he owes his life to the
fact that he was in a hurry to return
to this country after going to Europe
on one of his trips. He was to have
returned by the steamer Kangaroo,
but instead left earlier on the steamer
North Britain. The Kangaroo was lost
in dreadful storm and nothing was
heard of her or any of the passen-
gers who embarked on the steamer.
Following the program the chair
NAM of the meeting, Thomas r. Jes-
sup. read the list of newly elected Of
ficers who were chosen by the citi-
zens of Centerville. The list of Off
GERS are as follows: Joseph A. Com
mons, president; James F.. Harris,
vice president; Walter S. Ratliff, Sec
retary; Caleb ]. Harvey, treasurer,
and John F. Dynes, T. R. Jessup, Will
liam N. Demoss, Mrs. Lena King,
Mrs. Edna Jones Pike and Mrs Ora
Dunbar, members of the executive
committee.
President Commons in a short ad-
dress declared that with the co-opera-
tion of everyone the fifty-third annual
picnic and reunion to be held next
year on the third Saturday in August
at the Centerville park would surpass
all other picnics given by the society,"
He stated that he appreciated the dis
tinguished honor conferred upon him.
The executive committee of the as
sociation is we'll pleased with the sue
cess of this years picnic. A much
larger number attended the reunion
than was expected.
Communications were received from
other pioneers, unable to attend, which
were read.
Thomas r. Jessup commented upon
the death of the late president of the
association, Caleb King, who had been
at the head of the society for num-
ber of years. The death roll showed
that 207 early settlers had passed
away.

CAMPING PRIVILEGE
TO OPEN ON MONDAY

where is the headquarters tent?"
is the question every one is now l-o-
pounding at the Chautauqua grounds.
The tent was reported as being on its
way here three days ago, but fo- some
mysterious reason it has not arrived
The railroad officials have beer noti-
fed and they have made a careful
search of their road, but have not
been able to locate the big piece of
canvas. In the meanwhile Secretary
Myrick has moved his headquarters
into the teachers tent in the hope that
the regular one will be here in time
for the opening of the show.
Three jealous campers who went
out to the grounds yesterday after
noon to lay their own floor, were sud
denly driven away from the place
where they were working by swarm
of yellow jackets. AS they were put
ting down the floor, they disturbed
nest of the pests and in a short time
the men were running toward the tenn
porary headquarters for help. At least
a dozen nests of this particular pest
have been uneartehed on the grounds
already, but the officials believe that
they have routed the entire swarm
now. Although the rules of the Chau-
tauqua do not allow the campers to
sleep on the grounds until tomorrow,
several people spent last night in
their tents. The only way these could
be asked to leave was to have the
park officials turn them out at ten
o'clock according to the park regula-
ton. This action was not resorted to,
and the campers remained the entire
night in their tents.
