THE CAMP MEETING SEASON
Saturday and Sunday Mt Jackson
Grove.


Sunday morning, the meetings were better at
tended than usual on week days. The weather
was all that could be desired, and while the
adults were engaged in the meetings the little
was preaching in the Tabernacle the children
were playing in front OF their tents. In nearly
every tent on the ground there is baby belonging
10 the tenterS or 10 some visitor. The population
or the camp, permanent and transient, contains
quite large proportion OF children, but they are
about the best behaved set OF little ones
1t Is no uncommon sight to see young miss Of
six or seven. with hymn book in hand, singing
with the congregation. Between the services the
young people r.;nDla about the woods and some
times engage In picking bllckberries. When thus
engaged ft IS easy to determine whether they hail
from city or country, for the nlmble fingers or the
pianist are not nimble when picking biickberreS
ana the briars are kaener TO city fingers than to
those or the Piney Woods lassias
