It's all over the camp has busted, .
and the debris is scattered over Milton,
Philadelphia and part of New Jersey.
It has been a good social gathering. II
was not organized for, and no one ex-
pected, any spiritual advantages from it:
aud they were not disappointed The
poet says:
There is a scene where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowshipwith friend,
Though sundered far, by faith they meet,
Around one common mercy seat
Aud we may consider Lavinia's camp
ground the Mercy Seat around which
annually are attracted the friends and
acquaintances of former and earlier years,
They come here and spend a week or
ten days in joyous sociality, and are
gone again TO do battle with the world
for another year, ever having in mind
during this twelve months, the anticipa-
s1on of the fraternal meeting they expect
90 come The camp of 1915 is a mem
0ry. The portentious attitude of the
weather on Sunday afternoon and even
ing, prevented many from attending the
ground and a consequent deficit of
500 90 from the receipts expected, is the
result. The gate money on Sunday was
less than $1,000. Notwithstanding this,
Tie gathering has been a financial sue
cess, as well as good time all around |
The gross receipts exceeded 5000 90, from |
zhls there are some expenses which will |
e-eCiHce the sum total somewhat, tut not |
"a great deal. On Monday the work of |
removing back to civilization began
and there were some who deplored the |
early breaking up of the camp, and
thought It ought 10 have continued an
other week. The fun was over, and the
relapse was taking place. A feeling of
depression appeared to hover over the
tnany, especially the women, who were
detected and showed their i'll humor in
their attitude, sitting on load of goods
riding into town with touseled hair and
hats awry. On Tuesday morning quiet
ness prevailed. All were gone, and we
took ''peaceable and quiet possession"
of the ground, mounted the pulpit, rang
the bell made a short address to "soli.
dude" and sang the doxology And now
we are in possession, without pay, for
another year Cd. W. Elmer Dickin- {

citizen of Milton while en- route to
Milford in his automobile, was accosted
by two colored men, and asked for a ride.
He took them on the back seat. After {
a while one of them leaned forward, and
addressing the driver said say, mis- {
ser, you're a Democrat, aren't you ?"
The man admitted the stigma. Il said
So" continued the colored man, "for
we hailed a Republican before we did .
you, and asked him for a ride. and he
never answered us. Republicans have I
no business with the black man only at \
election times. "

Sunday. On the front seat with the :,
