erecting buildings, providing seats, water works,
fence, &C., for the comfort and convenience of the
public, has reached the sum of about ten thousand
dollars, aside from the purchase OF the land, which
cost three thousand dollars, while the revenue de-
rived from camp meetings has fallen much short
of that sum, leaving debt of forty five hundred
dollars.
