The "committee in charge of Ule-af^. fair is making an appeal for the entry of bird dogs, a feature which has been somewhat neglected in past years. As a matter of fact the bird dogs haye.gbeen very scarce at previous shows. As Camden is in the center of tbe bird-hunting area, and many val uable bird dogs are owned in and around this community^. is felt that the showing of a bird dog class would be of great intelrest to many i»eople. From all indications the young people plan on making the show on April 4 the biggest and most inter esting ever held in Camden. cousins of the groom, both of Cam den.
