/dciety By Mi** Touts* Nettle* The Martin's Song Hear Heart, today somewhere I hear a mating martin sing. In his wild flight above my head upon a tireless wing, Ami With tint note so new ami sweet ?so plaintive, strange and low, There seemed to flood within my soul love songs of |ong ago. Me did not linger in his flight to rest nor yet to sing, 1 only caught a fleeting glin>pse of polished breast and wing, Hut with it came the fragrant scent of climbing roses red. Ami with it eamu the memory of ? summer days long dead. Sweet summer days and glorious nights When hearts beat fast and true; When down the jprhnrose path of life I wandered, Love, with you; But now the days of youth are dead the path of life is long; And only memories of all pome yvith the martin's song. The Kedpath Chautauqua In Camden Social activities -were sidetracked this week and the right of way given to Kedpath Chautauqua, big,* little, old and young "hit the trail" that !ed to the big tent pitched amid the giant oaks of the Grammar school. The Ohautaqua is an outstanding contribution to clean, delightful and instructive entertainment and is an annual treat to our people that they look forward to with eagerness and bright anticipations. This year pleasing programme was presented each afternoon and evening to a packed audience. Laurant and Com pany were indeed magicians extra ordinary giving an amazing produc tion of vniagic and mystery. The Jugo-Slav tamburica orchestra with unique instrument^ of their country pleased the people as did the Farifbol Entertainers. The group of lecturers -Dr. Hilton Ira Jones, noted scien tist and lecturer; William Rainey Bennett, nationally known dramatic orator and inspirational speaker; .Julian B. Arnold, distinguished trav eler, author and sovant, were all good. The play "Give and Take" was a big attraction and well re ceived. The Chicago Lyric Singers, came in for a share of popular ap plause, and Everett Kemp, as reader and entertainer, gave "ThaI~~Pri liter of Udell's" in a very pleasing man ner. The five days entertainment closed with that beautiful musical production "The Shepherd's Dream" with picturesque ' costumes, unique lighting and scenic effects and was perhaps the most enjoyable and cer tainly the most beautiful of the pro grams presented. It mirrored not <>nly the costumes, but the sentiment and lovely ideals of a by-gone time ?the grace and charm of a day that 's past. We are glad that the Chautauqua is coming back next year and the citizens are indebted to the group of public spirited men who' made this possible. It was Johnson who said: "I am a tfreat friend to publiu amuse ments when clean and instructive, for they keep people from vice." And we agree with him; the Chautauqua cultivates, enlightens and refines. It plants the right ideals, ambitions and The . Chautauqua is an outstanding and hoys and cause them to "Hitch their wagon to a stai\" as they are told by inspirational speakers of the ureal possibilities . of life. Met With Mrs. Mackey. Mr*.
