week. Last Monday morning, July 9th,
there was a general hustle and hustle
among number of the younger band,
and tents were loaded, chickens were
caught and cooped, bcd-clothing and
provisions boxed, bathing suits shook
out and Strengthened Rock cards, can
dies, ETC., were carefully packed and all
loaded, and when loaded with guns and
fishing tackle, the outfit looked like
"Sherman's March to the Sea- and that
the campers were setting out for months.
The word given and all was gone except

Late Saturday evening the chaperons
gave the command for tearing down
