urday night, August the thirtieth.
There was but short time in
which TO get ready. But every
one worked in harmony.
Friday night our hopes were
almost gone on account Of a
down-pour Of rain. This CON
tinucd until Saturday afternoon,
about two o'clock, when the sun
peeped through the clouds and
our decorating committee was
right on hand aud made the old
lumber shed look very patriotic
with its drapcry of red, white
and blue and seven small tables
covered with white linen aud
boquets of white and green flow
ers.
ABOUT seven O'Clock the crowd
began to gather and by nine
O'Clock we had fifteen gallons of
cream sold.
But our store manager believes
in preparedness so he sold us an
other five gallons. Ere the
clock struck ten all our cream
was gone.
The pretty Girl Cake" was
a very attractive feature of the
evening. The society appointed
a committee Of three young men
to nominate the two prethest
girls of the camp. These names
were given To the society in
sealed envelope on Saturday
morning.
The young men at the supper
had the privilege Of voting for
one OF the young ladies nominal
ed by paying five cents a vote.
1t was only a few minutes until
the game became exciting as the
two were keeping II close pace.
Finally the treasurer announced
that only thirty seconds were
left. One young man handed in
IA few more votes for the girl he
was voting for and the cake was
gone to the prcttiest girl. This
cake brought sixty-thrce dollars
and fifteen cents.
We all We're very we'll pleased
to find that after everything was
over we had u hundred and thir-
