(live Thoin a Home.
Would it not be a good plan for
the different Woman's cluba of the |
city to come together and try to
make some arrangement for a home
Jtm the Cherokee Camp Fire OirlaT
Through the courteay of Mr. and
Mrs. David Williams they have a
home at "Sarsfleld" for the prea
ent, but that can only last until fall.
It is an Important organization, for
they will be taught many useful
things, and is something that the
Women of our community should
feel interested In. A few dollars
from each club would rent a suita
ble place for them, or perhaps some
one haa a room that they would
be pleased to give.
Misa Peck is willing tb sacrifice
her time and energies to the suc
cessful accomplishment of this
Camp. And our women should ral
ly to her support. Let" us hear
some suggestions from Individuals,
or let the clubs act. The teaching
of the organization is for the mak
ing atfd perfecting a desirable wo
manhood.

Wheu inornlug came Dean bought
out the girl with the wonderful, all
very voice. It wan not difficult to
find her among tbe mouulalufoU
of the little village. It seemed ev
er yor? kuew who It wan that gang,
everyone knew that beautiful voice.
Was ahe pretty, he asked. No, not
even the mountain folk called Thel*
mar Wlnterson pretty. Had she
ever gone away to study ifiuslc or
cultivate her voice. The mountalu
folk could not remember her golug
away to study music. How loug
had they known her? he asked.
Bluce she was born, they answered
?imply.
It was a voice more beautiful
than Dean hud ever heard before.
Himself u singer, he knew its qual
ities, he knew the qualities of a
great voice and this voice hidden
away here among the mountains had
M nearly all of them as any he
had ever listened to. In short,
he decided that it was a voice the
world could hot do without. Ho
he. found the girl and talked io
her face to face. As the villagers
had said, she was not pretty, but
she was slendor und girlish, and
the makings of a genius looked
forth at Gordon Dean out of her
soft, dark eyes. But now those
eyes filled with tears and dimmed
her sight as he pleaded \ylth her
to go.
** I cannot go," she repeated.
"But you will be fumous as a
singer the world over. You will
be distinguished and rich," he ar
gued in the face of her refusal.
But still she shook her head.
"I have no desire for wealth,
and 1 crave no distinction save of
my own selection. 1 cannot go."
"But your voice ? "
"My voice would fall if 1 should
try to sing In your great cities be
fore a great building full of peo
ple. 1 could not -ever sing the
sohgs great singers like yourself
sing. I would fall. My heart, my
very soul, Is here among the moun
tains. 1 could not sing elsewhere.
I cannot go."
But Dean realising as he did
the power of her voice, refused
her refusal and many times after
that endeavored to persuade her
that she was wrong. But each and
every time brer answer was the
same, "I cannot go."
Once back in the city, before the
great building full of people, Dean
realized that there was not that
deep soul - stlrlng Joy in his heart
when he sang, as It had been when
he sang that night on the moun
tain. There was some mysterious
charm the moonlight night that he
could not find here in the great
city and he knew that he could nev
er sing again as he had sung then.
One April day when the buds in
the woods were bursting and tiny
leaves pushed their pale green out.
of gray twigs, when trailing . ar
butus blossomed in delicate, -pink
profusion dovrii among liis'. years
le&^fes and grasses, when the white
wood violot scattered the fragrance
of its breath to the wind. there
arose in Gordon Dean's mind a
vision of a slendor, mountain girl
as she sang with the brook and the
little birds, and poured out her
heart In song in the vast solitude
of the lonely mountain side. 1'er
haps It was one of the old Scotch
folk songs Bhe loved so wel., per
haps It was Herrlck's little hymn
or some Indian love sdng that lihe
sang* and he sighed because lie
knew that the world would ne/cr
hear the song that she sang.
"Wasted!" he said to hmlself.
Then he turned about and asked
himself the question,
"Is it? Is it wasted?"
The Girls of Camp Cherokee.
Quite a number of the Camp
Fire Girls met- at "Sarsfield" last
Saturday and had a suggestion of
out-door life. They hope to have
a real experience In this line In the
near future, when they go out on
a camp. On Saturday after a round
of games and healthful exercises,
they were ready to enjoy to the
fullest extent the dinner which had
been prepared over the camp fire
by the dainty little cooks of the day.
They 'served roasted corn, roasted
potatoes, hominy and fried bacon,
and also some salad and sandwiches
which they brought from home. We
must admit that some of the girls
were not "gartie," they did P?tJ
stay to partake of the primitive
dinner, but went home where some
thing more tempting awaited them. ,
Well, they missed a treat and we
feel sure that the next time they
will be willing to share with their
comrades "the fare of the camp.
Late in the afternoon they went to
the nearby pond.
In the glow of the sun-set.
When shadows grow long.
What place so inviting
As the "old factory pond?"

Straw Ride.
Miss Sara Wolfe gave an enjoya
ble straw ride to a number of her
young .friends last Tuesday after
noon, After a dip into one of the
beautiful streams by which Camden
Is bounded, the Jolly crowd came
back to town and were delightfully
entertained at the handsome home
of Mr. and Mrs. David Wolfe. Mis?
Sara proved a thoughtful hostess.
Dainty ices, cakes and melons await
ed the return of the Joy riders and
was thoroughly enjoyed by them.
, A Painful Accident.
Sadie, tthe winsome little daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Wilson,
was painfully, but not seriously
burned last Wednesday. The little
girl ran Into the kitchen, and ran
against the cook, who had a pan
of very hot water in her hand ;
this was upset and went all over
the little one's neck and ?bould
ers. The physician was immediate
ly called. And as the burns are
not considered d??p; a speedy treat
ment will no doubt prevent scars.

There are a Number of Advantages in Buying from us
?' '? 4 ' -\'h
In the first place, you do not have to buy what we
sell, but we carry a wide range of materials, so we
sell what you want to buy.
This Means Three Things to Yon
The right materials means that your building will last
longer, will look better and that it makes less work,
which means less money to build it, and in many cases
by getting exactly what is necessary for each purpose,
that you will buy the best materials even cheaper than
you would the other kind somewhere else.
If you are thinking of building, let us figure with you
before you decide, and if you have -decided to build, let
us give you an estimate before you buy.
