Once agahl the Indian Chief Powhatan, with his warriors bold roamed his native forest, where for centurieB tho mournful screech owl alone has sounded his little cry,; and the dark browed maidens were again at Jiome amid the giant oaks, where for years the whip-poor-wills have chanted their plaintive loVe noites. Tho beautiful and romantic story of Pocahontas waB faithfully carried out ? her loyal friendship for John Smith, her love and mar riage to John Ralfe, her return from England, where she was know as the Lady Rebecca, in fact all of the beautiful and romantic story that we knew arid loved in child hood. A candy booth and a tea booth added to the attractiveness and also to the pennies taken in. These booths were gracefully presi ded over by members of the camp. Quite a nice sum was realized. Mr. R.
