Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1883-08-02
CAPITAL NOTES.

! On the whole the past week mas
been one of the most enjoyable of
the summer. Rain enough to pre-
vent dust, and none too warm for
comfort.
The great Sunday School Assem-
bly, is in full and successful opera
ton. Over 800 tents are on the
ground, and filled with apparently
happy people. 1t is estimated that
fully 5000 were present Saturday
afternoon and evening. Those at
tending say the lectures, concerts
and other exercises are Of high or
der Of merit. No tlanscient guests
were admitted on Sunday, only
those permanently camped being al
lowed on the grounds. This rule
seems to many a bad one, as by it
hundreds who necessarily lodge out
side the camp are deprived of the
Sunday services, who would appre
ciate them as fully as those located
on the ground. The object of the
rule is to exclude those who would
7 go on that day merely as curiosity
seekers, and rough characters Even
So good designs are not generally
regarded as justification for a rule
which deprives hundreds of the
benefits Of the Assembly, whose on
1 ly opportunity to attend is on sun
day. That our readers not familiar
with Assemblys of this character
may form an idea of its character,
we present the programme for one
day:
