CAMP MEETING.-Th camp meeting of the
NJ. +. Church South, in Benton's woods, near
Unison, in this county, has been seriously in-
terrnptcd by the rains Of the past few days.
The meeting was begun on Friday, and that
night rain commenced falling, and the weather
has been wet and cloudy ever since. We learn
from those who we're present on Sunday, that
while there was goodly number of tents on
the ground, the attendance was unusually slim.
Owing 10 the rain, which continued throughout
the day, regular services at the stand were dis
pensed with, though an able sermon was preach
ed in one of the tents by Rev. JAS A. Duncan.
At last accounts the meeting was still in pro-
gress those in charge hoping no doubt for
more propitious weather before its close.-
