Campbell, attorney of Little Rock, Arkansas, is a visitor in Key West, and is enjoying a delightful visit as a guest at the Casa Marina. Before entering the legal pro- fession Mr. Campbell was in the newspaper field at Maynard, Ark- ansas, and says that’ since that pe- riod he has always liked to be where printer’s ink is found.

The above is the reason why this club was organized, and that it has given valuable instruction as well as pleasure, there is no doubt, it is stated. Not only does this club furnish pleasure and in- formation but it also creates sportsmanship and fraternalism among its members, it is shown. in port this morning from Mi-|. Governor Fred P.
