General News of the Day
Tersely and Interest
ingly Told.

Early yesterday morning the exodus
of the campers from Red Rock had al
ready begun. There was not the same
hustle and stir which had marked their
arrival; but slowly. and in some eases
sorrowfully. the good souls took their
departure. Quietly the baggage was
brought down to the little station, and
just as quietly was it put aboard the
train. Even the engine seemed to make
less noise than usual as it moved away.
There were handshakings and fare
wells innumerable. The Old folks,
thoughtful of the enthusiasm OF the last
meeting, bid one another goodbye with
sorrowful countenances. For a whole
year, perhaps forever, they were to
part. The ministers were oat i'll full
force and spoke cheerful word to each
parting camper.
And the young folks; they, too, had
to part. Surely parting is such sweet
sorrow" The youthful frolie of few
weeks and all was over. Many couple
wandered slowly down the path to the
depot, whispering sweet n0thingS and
secretly hoping that the train
might be delayed. A goodbye. a
blushing face with downcaSt eyes, and
the unsympathiziDg engine hurries
away with its precious burden. The
camp-meeIing girl does not differ a
great deal from her sister at the sea-
side. A little innocent Irritation, with a
CONQUEST now and then, destroys the
ennni of the day. The captured one es-
corts her to the train. "Miss Alice,
may l call? Pray, do not disappoint my
hopes" "Well, really; [ should hike
but, you know-that iS-a-good-bye;" )"
and the train carries her away and
leaves but a blank in the heart of her
poor admirer. Such is the result of the
camp meeting. The lowering. gloomy
sky formed fitting background for the
sad scene.
Yesterday was jubilee day at Red
Rock, and it was celebrated in all its
glory. Early in the morning the good
folks betook themselves to the grave of
Father Holtons to decorate with flowers
the last resting place of the founder of
the Red Rock association. After Suita-
bIe services had been conducted at the
tomb, the procession returned to the
grove, where the cottage of Mrs. G. ID.
Strong was formally dedicated. DIR.
Cyrus Brooks told of Mr. StroDg'S work
in the church. and George ii. Hazard
related the story of his work ia connec-
ton with the Rad Rock association DR..
Hobart delivered the dedicatory prayer.
At 80 O'Clock the w. G. T. U. held
its meeting in the auditorium, and a
successful meeting it was. Mrs. B. f.
Capehart spoke about the liquor traffic
in the Free Congo state. "What Shall
We Do About It?'' formed the topic of
Mrs. s. M. |. Henry's address. She pro-
posed to stop the liquor traffic by evan
gelizing the people through perfected
church work. Mrs. Henry will speak at
the Methodist church in St. Paul Park
Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
The Penteeostal prayer meeting and
general breaking up were the peculiar.
yet interesting, services of the evening.
After prayer the campers formed in
procession of twos, and marhing about
the grounds sang religious melodies.
Then all shook hands with one another
and afterward with the ministers, who
formed in line under the auditorium.
There will be no special exercises to-
day, but all will prepare to leave. and
end one of the most successful sessions
that has ever been held.
There were but few arrivals on the
grounds yesterday, but among them
we're:
Rebecca Eggleston, Ira E. Eggleston, Ed
ward EggIeston, Smith Eggleston. Joseph
Burgess and wife. A. Ii. Tiffany and wife, S.

A director of the. association called
the reporters attention to the following
clipping from Saltwater paper:
The annual insult to the Almighty will be
offered as usual this summer at Red Rock,
under the auspices of speculating railway
company and few soulleSS individuals
whose only characteristics are an awful gall
and an Unsuitable thirsting after the Al
mighty-dollar. Such burlesqHes on religious
worship are bonanzas for the devil and Bot
Ingersoll.
The director remarked that he desired
to show how they were treat ed by some
papers. All the stockholders haze put
money into the association, in some in
stances thousands of dollars, from
which they never expect to get a return
