THAXTON—Two Southampton County teens from June 16-22 attended the 9th Annual Sam Davis Youth Camp at the Virginia Woodmen of the World Family Activity Center in Thaxton.

Attending with sponsorship from the Sons of Confederate Veterans Urquhart-Gillette Camp 1471 were Breanna Johnson, the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Earl Johnson, and Briggs Simmons, the son of Tommy and Katherine Simmons.
