Hunting Season Closes Nimrods of the field had their last day Monday, the hunting season which opened Thanksgiving day, hav ing closed at 12 Monday night, Maroh 1, according to the law of the stale. Mr, Richardson, state, game warden, said that there wa3 less game this year than last year, which he attrib utes to three things. First the birds had gone to the swamps on account of the dry spell preceeding the hunt ing season. Second, there was prac tically no, feed that the birds could got in the fields, as the amount of peas planted this year was very small. Third, due to the dry spell, the bird? were often a long way from water, and when they did reach water, they would drink themselves to death. Mr. Richardson said that the last reason for the scarcity of game was particu larly true of the young birds, many of them being known to have killed themselves by drinking too much water after a long thirst.

The pretty little Public Library, sit uated amid the trees and flowers on one of Camden's spacious parks has enjoyed unusual popularity this sea son. Visitors have expressed them selves as charmed with the institution and enjoying it to the fullest extent ? several contributing new Action to the rent shelf and the pianagenfent has also bought new books for this shelf ^rhich tan be read for 10 cents each. The reference shelf has also been generously remembered with sixty one volumes of Harper's Family Li brary, published in 1830, the gift of Mrs. Augustus Floyd, for years a member of Camden's winter colony. Mrsv'R. B. Pitts has also made a *\**vVa - ^ , contribution of twelve volumes in United States history to this shelf. Tjie pictures of Camden's six Con federate genorals now adorn the li brary walls, the gift of Mrs. Francis 1 1. Proctor, to her native town. A letter this week from a gentle* man in New Bedford, Mass., to the | Librarian, eulogized Camden in gen eral and the library in particular.5 Ho said: "Remen^bor me to your popular and cordial mayor, and tell , hhp^vtc keep the library in mind} , That is one of tho town's greatest as sets and desorves the enthusiastic ! support of the people." I Although tho Librarian has collect ed some dues for 1926 she has not by ( any means collected all and she would esteem it a favor if those who have not paid would leave the amount at J the dosk or mail the check. She was pleasod and gratified with the suc cess of the rocent Collection and the warmth and cordiality of her recep tion. IVJany said, "Yes, we pay it with pleasure, it is the best invest ment the town makes," Some ? a few public spirited citiwins? -paid $6.00 instead of $1.00, and one man simply took her breath away by giving $25, and telling her to call on him for that amount annually. These gentlomen are far too modest to have their names callod but they can be seen on the membership roll at tho library. Are you a supportor of Camden's public library ? If not, why not? All great poinds, past and present, answer that question in tho afflfmative. All up-to-date towns and cities have pub lic libraries op aro striving to get thorn.
