The old Presbyterian church of Camden, built by one of America's foremost architects is one of the most beautiful buildings of its size in the country, rfowever, many alterations have taken place, and It is in the effort to restore It. to its orignal perfection that funds are being raised.

The ladles are giving this Cabin Supper to raise funds for this change. That should interest both the people who would' like to help do this, as well as those who are looking for places to go and things to do. So don't forget the date, Thursday, February 6, 6:30 to 9 p. m. Old time negro singing, big bon-flrea, delicious hot food.
