aMPING party from newborn last
WEEK.
One of the most thoroughly enjoyed
outings of the season was the camping
party from Newborn, camping near
I it tie river, about 4 miles from here.
(lay were the campers who started
Monday afternoon, with packs of
00 d things following behind in wag¬
g party consisted of Dr. and
ons The
Mrs. Murrelle and family; Mr. and
Mrs. C. M. Gay and family; Mrs. J.
I). Milton and family; Misses C. B.
Glass, Annie Riley, Pearl Mitchell,
Bessie Smith, Laurie Willson, C. B.
Patrick, Katherine Stowe. Messrs.
Boscoe Sams, A. M. Gay, Lidelle
Childs, Clayton Smith, Doyle Smith,
Willie Porter and Ross Stanton.
All ceremony and formality were
laid aside, even pompadours and
powder were forbidden and the girls
with their hair combed smoothly back
and plain dresses on enjoyed it to the
fullest extent in regular gypsy style.
Riding, boating and bathing occu¬
pied the girls in the days and hunting,
seining and swimming the boys time.
The evenings were spent in singing,
laughing and talking.
Many visitors came out to see how
the “gypsies” were enjoying their
outing and seemed to think:—
“In the gypsies life you read,
The life that all would like to lead.”
Saturday morning came the time
for parting aud everyone expressed
it as one of the most enjoyable affairs
they had ever attended and how we
disliked to break up!
Many thanks to Dr. Murrelle and
and Mr. C. M. Gay and their lovely
wifes for the “good time” we had.
They know just how to make the
young people enjoy themselves and
nothing was left undone which they
could do for their pleasure.
