This, in few words. is the daily rou- tine in the business life of Camden. The quietude is sometimes stirred by a wedding or a funeral. in either of which event particularly the latter, the stores are closed until all is over. for the country heart is kindly one, and joins alike in the joys and sor- rows of it's fellow citizens.
 The principal form of hospitality is when the "gude-man" of some house invites his friends and strangers home to dinner, or when the lady of some home asks her friends and their visi- tors to "spend the day. and only those who have enjoyed that pleasure can know what treat it was-the fried chicken, the salads, the vegetables of all kinds; the pickles, the turkey the jel1ies, the desserts and the cakes such cakes as only the southern house. wife can make.

Camden Historic County Seat of
 Wilcox, Typical Southern Town

Situated in great bend of the Ala bama river and four miles distant from it lies the town of Camden. which has been the county seat Of Wilcox since 1888. In that year a village was founded on a level tract beside a beautiful spring about the center of the county, and to 1t was given the name Bar townsville. in honor of the noted United States senator, Philip P Barbour of Virginia, who had won for himself renown. The name was bestowed by Abijah Miller, but six years later it was the suggestion of J. S. Caldwell, one of the old-time settlers, that it
