The Preparations of the Grounds.


Letter in Cincinnati News Journal
The camp ground at Acton has been favorite
resort for the Methodists of Indiana for nearly
quarter of century, but SO rapid have been
the improvements within the past year the old
timers would hardly recognize 1t. 1t is indeed
quite a contrast now, when they have every
thing in the latest STYLE to that of whilom days,
when they had a roughly constructed platform
for pulpit and cabins OF rough boards scattered
professionally through the woods Even those
who were here last year will notice very great
change, for in that time large pavilion, with a
seating capacity of more than 1000, has been
erected, and cottages and other buildings with
out number. One of the attractions is lake,
which in addition to a nice natural drainage, is
fed by Windmill pump. The lake is nearly
one-half mile long and several hundred feet
wide, and it is said to contain large quantities of
fish. No hucksters are allowed to enter the
grounds, but there are q meat market and
grocery store to furnish everything needed by
the campers. There are also telephone office
connecting with Indianapolis and Shelbyville.
telegraph office, baggage room, superlntend-
ent's office, Methodist book concern rooms
boarding house under control of Grace Church.
large DINING hall, with seating capacity of
500, and everything else in fact that is needed
to make life pleasant in the woods The new
pavilion is as nice structure one would care
to see. 1t is built in the form of cross, and is
eighty by ninety feet. having twenty-seven
windows and three entrances 1t has also a
large platform for the speakers, choir and dis
tinguished visitors.

In some cases, no doubt; bat you'll find
So think-that mines an exception;

In John.
Hos stalwart and tail,
Has blue eyes,
Auburn hair, and an all but Greek nose;
A mouth rather-well, I suppose
You would say rather large To my mind
large mouths not unplensing, combined
With blue eyes.
As to temperament-well,

That he's choleric, dear-ho and glowing
Has tropical methods of showing
His feelings. That's nothing, OF course:
like energy, fire and force,

Has he talentP you'll ask.

He could write, for he talks worry welI,

At the Bar; for he's steady, though slow;
And that work is far better than show

that gentleman the supervising architect Of the

Of his profession. Monuments Of his work sre

and built it complete in everyssrsapect in nine
months time being the essence Of the contract.
He worked FIVE hundred men on the Minnesota
building day and hight, bringing the electric
light into requisition. He is the architect of
the West hotel in Minneapolis, the best and
costliest four hundred room house in the world.
He built the big hotel at lake Minnetonka and
has seventeen structures Of that kind under his

ployed him to build the great Union depot IN
