FIFTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT
OF THE SONS OF VETERANS.
Camp Lloyd, Held in Mammoth
Park the Past Week, was
Well Attended.
Fine Weather and an Excellent
Program Made the Encamp
ment a Great Success.
Will Meet in Mammoth Park Next
Year Officers Elected and
Installed.
The fifth annual encampment of the
Sons of Veterans at Camp Lloyd, Mam
moth Park, Reynoldsville, from August
.'lt d to 0th, was the largest encampment
ever held by this Association. There
was double the attondanco of of Sons of
Veterans during the entire encampment
to what there was In previous years,
fifty white tents were pitched in the
park, which is an ideal place for an en
campment. A numberof Reynoldsville
citizens, who have lived here for years,
did not know there was such a beauti
ful levol stretch of ground In the park
as there is. The brow of the hill hides
the park from publlo view along Main
street, and while the Sons of Veterans'
encampment was apparently out of
town, yet they woro within the borough
limits.
The Sons of Veterans came to Camp
Lloyd Wednesday and by Thursday
morning a large number of the boys
were In camp, where most of them re
mained until Sunday evonlng and Mon
day morning. They did not break camp
until yesterday.
Thursday evonlng the Sons of Veter
ans paraded up Mala street to park,
headed by the Keystone band. After
the parade an address of welcome was
delivered by Rev. Dr. A. J. Meek, pas
tor Baptist church, and responded to
by Chaplain W.3. McCurdy, of Tltts
burg. The Keystone band gave a con
cert. There were two or three thousand
people at camp that evening, and every
evonlng during the encampment there
were large crowds present.
Friday members of Companies E, I
and K of 148th Pa. Vol., held a reunion
tit Camp Lloyd nnd the W. R. C. held a
picnic in camp that afternoon.
At 3.00 p. m. Friday Rev. N. L.
Brown, of Pittsburg, Chaplain of Fourth
Uegt. S. V. R., lectured for two hours
on "Gettysburg." It was a fine lecture.
Saturday afternoon Prof. S. C. Hep
ler, of Now Bethlehem delivered an ex
cellent lecture on "Nuggets of Gold."
At the camp firu Saturday evening
Lawyer Clement Flynn, of this place,
in ado a speech that was enjoyed by the
ltirge audience.
It is estimated that there were be
tween five and t-1 x thousand people at
Camp Lloyd Sunday afternoon and
there was also a large crowd present
Sunday evening. Chaplain McCurdy
preached at 2.30 p. m. and 8.00 p. m.
Sunday.
At a business meeting of the En
campment Association Sunday the fol
lowing officers were elected for next
year : President, Captain Shannon, of
Punxsuaawnoy ; Vice President, Cap
tain LeRoy, of Brookvllle ; Secretary
and Treasurer, Captain Wadding, of
Brookvllle. The officers were installed
by Division Commandor Lloyd, In whose
honor tho camp was named this yoar.
The boys were so woll pleased wltb
Mammoth Park for encampment
grounds that they decided to hold the
encampment at the same place next
year.
Alvln and John Wlant, young violin
ists of New Bethlehem, who were visit
ing in town during the encampment,
appeared on the platform several time
and entertained the people with violin
duets and solos.
The park was lighted at night by
electricity.
The forrls wheel and merry-go-round
did a good business every evonlng.
The liverymen gathered In some
"oolo of the realm" hauling people to
and from camp. Over $22.00 waa col
lected in ten cent fares on one wagon
ette Sunday afternoon and evening.
The weather was delightful during
the entire encampment, only one small
shower.
Next year water and gas will be piped
Into the park wbloh will make It more
convenient.
The camp was in darkness Monday
night on aooount of the Electrio Light
Company not having water to run the
powtfr plant., However, the young
people seemed to have Just as much fun
as they would have' had with the park
lighted. .
. Sandy Valley.
. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Irvln, of DuBoIs,
vUlted relatives here and at Pardus
last week.

H. A. Sherwood, and family, at this
place the post week. Mr. Sherwood
has been absent from these parts
eighteen years and finds many promi
nent changes have taken place through
out the country In that time.
Ths Spirit Serenaded.
The Reynoldsville brass band, which
was one of the half dozen excellent
music producing organizations which
discoursed melody for the A. O. II.
reunion last Thursday, gave a concert
In front of the Spit-it office In the eve
ning which was listened to by a large
crowd of appreciative people and further
established the claim of Reynoldsville
to the possession of one of the best
bands In the state. A number of high
class selections were rendered In a
manner that was mighty agreeable to
the ear as well as creditable to the
musicians. The leader, Richard Ram
sey, although regularly employed as a
coal miner, has found time to make
himself a most proficient Instructor and
and leader, so much so that It is often
said that "Dick" Ramsey can take any
kind of material and make a good band
of It. And the truth of this assertion
Is proven by the fact that Reynolds
ville has had a first clans band when
ever Mr. Ramsey took a notion It
should have one. Punxsutawney Spirit,
