BOY SCOUTS HIKE 22 MILES.

Under the leadership Of Rev. c. A.
Digger, of the Presbyterian Church,
and Capt Eugene Auxier, the Boy
Scout company Of Pikeville made a
successful hike of 22 miles to Johns
Creek and return last Monday morn
ing. The boys thoroughly enjoyed
their trip to the country and picked up
some valuable experience in camp life.
They erected temporary camp on
their journey at noon, and prepared
their own dinner, after which they had
plunge into the creek. They re-
turned in the evening just little tired
and footsore, but confident that they
can lay it onto any other Boy Scout
company in the country.
Mr.. Digger has done much to en-
courage them in their work, and enjoy
ed their hardships with them. He has
taught them how to get the best out
of camp life, and believes that a hike
is one of the greatest lessons In self
dependence. Boys will be boys. or
Indians, rather" said he, "and by maxi
ing proper use of their bent to wild
life, valuable step in their education
may be accomplished"
A more extended trip, involving
greater ''perils and hardshIps" will be
considered and mapped out in a few
days.
