- Civic I^eague Meeting.
Tlx* mooting of the League on Mon
day giext, is of m'ore than usual in
terest ami a full attendance Is urged
Things of great moment for the beauti
fying and betterment of the town wiH~
be discussed and there will be more
work planned for than can be undertak
en by the faithful few who gather each
month at the High School park, with
out. the cooperation of the other League
members. There i? such a surprising
lack of civic pri<le and interest in the
majority of Camden's citizens, as- well
as such a woeful lack of the "got to
gether" spirit, for the common good,
that it is morft discouraging to those
wlko have worked so faithfully all these
years with so little help from the many
who should feel" the same , pride in the
town as t'hey do and l?e just as willing
to do tiheir share of work. This fact
has been spoken of before with no
great results, and it is hoped this re
.tninder wiH not fall ort dulled oars,
as usual but %ill arouse the* interest
of a few anyway. If not convenient
to attend the next meeting, become a
menibeV of J he I ieague right now andi
send your yearly dues. Membership
fees are now fifty cents. Men specially
invite*! to join. A most important
League undertaking in the near future
will be the improvement of the ground*
around the 'Southern and Northwestern
station* The committee Who is in charge
of this work is in communication with
railroad and town officials as well as
the Chamber of CTommerce and have
bei'n promised thoir cooperation and
financial aid. It is hoped work will
begin soon and instead of incoming pas
sengers being1- greeted with the sight of
ni^gkvted grounds, with a background
of ugly length of warehouse, ornamented
With tattored romains of circus posters,
they will see aftract.ivo flower beds and
well kept hedges and maybe a brand
new warehouse.
Picnic For Returned Soldiers.

that there will be a basket picnic glv*
in honor of the returned soldiers at R.
