lIOUNDSVILLE CAMP MEETING
MouSDsvILLE, August 25.

I
Editors Of the IntellIgcnCcr,
Now since the Camp meeting is over
all is again quiet in our usually quiet
little place. As calm succeeds storm
so Is the quietness which now hangs over
us compared with the hurry, hustle and
excitement OF the last two weeks. II is
generally acknowledged by all that we
this year had the best camp meeting ever
held on the ground. The excellent order
was IN agreat part due to the excellent
police regulations observed throughout,
There was scarcely any disturbances at
all, and what little there was all came
from the use Of two much whisky.
Our old Court House is now entirely
down and the rubbish nearly all cleared
away and the work on the new house
will begin at once, believe the stone
work will be finished this fall, and next
summer the entire building Is to be
finished.
Several new buildings are in process Of
erection in different parts Of town, and
the grading Of streets still goes on,
Our school building is being renovated
throughout preparatory to the opening OF
the school on September 9th.
Our Rolling Mill has been quiet for
some weeks past. There Is meeting OF
the stockholders to-day, and no doubt il
will soon commence operations again, and
it Is to be hoped will continue during the
fall and winter.
Notwithstanding 1t was feared that the
floods had damaged our crops, the report
comes from all directions that there will
be US large q crop Of corn, II not larger,
than was ever known in this part OF the
country. We take 1t from this that the
flood, although 1t was very disastrous in
some places, was much better for the coun-
try at large than G-drouth would have
been.
A gentleman left here very suddenly on
last Sunday evening with perhaps hund.
red dollars in his pocket that did not be-
long to him. lie had been driving lack
for Mr.. q. s. McFadden during the camp.
meeting, and left forgetting to settle with
him. At least he kept the greater part Of
the money he received as his pay,
There IL considerable feeling here
among men Of all parties concerning the
removal Of DR.. Alex. Martin from the
University. Perhaps II does not become
me to venture an opinion in the matter,
but II appears TO me, that 1t would have
been at least an act Of courtesy to have
given him due and timely notice that his
services we're no longer needed,
Many express the fear that his place
will be hard to Gil by one who will fill
the place us creditably as DR., Martin has.
| only hope that the prosperity Of our
University may not be damaged by this
action Of the Board Of Regents, but II no
doubt depends great deal on the person
selected as President, and the Board
should see to 1t that the man selected
should be In every respect well qualified
irrespective either oihis political or relig'
iOus anteCedents. I'll
How much better would Il be also, II
when a change is Unnecessary in our schools
that the incumbent have years warning
at least, and not be thrown out when all
other positions are filed. The teachers
position Is certainly an unenviablC one
In this respect. The returns from the
election IA far as heard from gives W.
NJ. West 400 majority for County Super
idlendent. II Il supposed his majority
will reach 700. All The districts In the
county voted for the levy. Old Marshall
is all right on the school question. X.
