A Hay Ride at Campbell.
Campbell, Aug. 27.—A party of
our young people recently took an
exciting hay ride from Campbell
across the country a distance of 8
miles and back over the roughest
road imaginable, but they report a
great time nevertheless. The party
j was composed of Robt. Morefield,
! onr R. F. D. carrier; Mrs. Eugene
Ivelly, of Providence, R. I.; Miss
Berch Tilley, of Sandy Ridge;
Miss Lucy Bateman and Miss
Stella Watkins, of Campbell, and
others. They started out by ma
king a raid on a watermelon patch
and carrying off several large mel
ons, but the wagon jostled so
much that they only succeeded it}
diving their heads into a melon
now and then, with the result of
getting their eyes full of juice and
their hair full of seed. They suc
ceeded in making a good many
people think the end of the world
had come, while others not quite
so excitable thought it a gang of
Id eeese going over. Others
thought some one was dead in the
neighborhood and made preparn
tion to go out and investigate the!
cause of such a racket. They made
all grades of noises as they went
along at a break-neck speed, ex
citing the dogs, cows and every
thing in their wake. They arrived
home safe and sound by 9 o'clock
P. M. They will give the people
a rest for a few days and then go
again after the next load. All who
wish to join the excursion are oor
dially invited. For date and par
ticulars call and see. D.
Misses Lucy Brower and Rachel
and Annie Hollingswortb, of Mt.
Airy, are the guests of Miss
Raohel Moore, at Smith.
