DANTS. .
Reunion to be Held, And if All
Could be Presdnt, the Day

be put om Side- >
track.
r ______
Taking as a basis for bis sub
ject the gathering of the de
scendants of the Cainp sisters at
the tomb of the late Stephen Ar
nold Wednesday, August 20th.
Editor Harve Craig, in The Ea
gle, speaks as follows concerning
the gathering and the Camp sis
ters :
“Bf you have never heard of
the wonderful Camp Sisters you
have not lived in Jackson Walton
or Gwinnett county. It may be
truthfully said that a perslon in
Jackson county who is not a des
cendants of one of these matrons
of the ancient timed is a very
lonely personage. And Walton
and Gwinnett are full of these
descendants. And besides they
are scattered over the wide, wide
world.
“Before the Revolutionary
War these sisters were born.
They grew to magnificent speci
mens of womanhood, physically
and mentally. They were like
unto the wonderful matrons' of
Sparta . One of these sisters was
married three timed—first to
John Giddens, next to Samuel
Stewart, and next to Hardy llow
ard. To these three marriages
20 children were born. Another
sister married Stephen Arnold
and to this union 21 children
were born. The other married
John Williamson and the fruits ol
the marriage were 22 children.
“The descendants! of thosr>
women have now run into the
sixth generation.
“Now can you imagine what
this reunion of these wonderful
women could be mustered to the
scene? We mustt tell you that
the example these ancient ma
trons det for large families has
been kept up ever since among
their progency. They all marry.
There are in spinsters! or batche
lors among them. They have al
ways been dmart and handsome,
and consequently in demand in
the matrimonial market. And
they generally marry young.
‘’Can’t you see that the total
gathering .would put the Day of
Pentecost on the blink.—that won
derful day when assembled the
Parthians and Modes and Ela
mitejs and dwellers in Capadocia
and Messoptamia and Judea and
Pontus and Asia and Paniphyl
lia and Egypt and part?] of Ly
bia and Cyrene and strangers of
Rome, Jews and Proselytes and
Cretes and Arabians—and ‘all
speaking in one tongue.’
‘‘lt would be more like the
descendants of Jacob marching
out of Egypt.
“Now let us figure a little:
Thede 63 children of the Camp sis
t *rs all married young. And
there was no race suicide. Wi h
ft liberal estimate they each rais
ed sis children. That would
<make ,‘l7B grandchildren. These
grandchildren all married. And
1> ing handsome ami smart, they
all marked young. There wure
no childless homes in thoi>4> days,
nor any homeless hildren. Well,
suppose they all raised six chil
dren apiece—that would make 2,
268 groat grandchildren. That
would be the third generation of
descendants. Put it has now
reached six. Applying the same
rule, the four’ll generation would
number 13,608. The fifth gener
ation would number 91,6-18. Al

But the work of some reliable
