THE CAMP MEETINGS.

-
Marvin Grove Camp (Methodist)
opens Friday, August 2nd. Whar-
ton Grove (Baptist), near Weems,
Lancaster county, begins today. The
meeting promises TO be a good one.
Visitors can reach it by land or
water. Those coming by water can
land at Weems' Wharf, where con-
veyances will be found to take them
to the grounds at 10 cents apiece.
Or, vessels of all sizes can land at
the camp wharf free, passengers
paying 8 cents each for the use of
wharf and walk-way during the en-.
tire day.
KIRKLAND GROVE.
Again the sweet stratus of music
pierce the density of the forest;
again the laughing girls promenade
around the tabernacle, and kirkland
Grove which, for three hundred and
sixtyfive nights, has been wrapped
I'm her garments of sleep, now awakes
and mixes her voice with those of
the human, who sing the praise of
the Creator of all. Kirkland, named
for that Christian man who once
lived aud moved here among us, is
situated very short distance from
Heathsville, in a grove created, per-
haps, for no other purpose than to
become the shade and ornament to
those cottages which set in her
midst. Though young in age, her
good works entitle her to the far
famed position she occupies, and
although this year may be her last,
sui for what she is now and for
wha: she has been, her praise will
br sung by those who have been
with her since her birth.
The camp committee have ever
been fortunate in securing The best
pulpit orators the State afforded.
and this year they have DIR. Battle,
recognized al over the State as one
OF the ablest preachers If the de-
nomination. None have heard Dir.
Battle but that they speak his
praises. Rev. Mr. Boyles has made
lasting impression. He comes as
the representative OF the Religious
Herald, and already nearly "a hun
cred subscriptions have been taken.
Mr.. Mullen is leading the singing
and winning much praise. He has
Il melodious voice, and the choir is
made up with ladies and men known
well for their singing ability

The Convention, In striving to
reorganize the public school system,
has an idea of forming the Board of
Education out of the Governor, At
torney General, Superintendent of
Public instruction Ito be chosen by
the other members of the Board and
not by the LEGISLATURE, and the heads
of the following ms titutions: Will
liam and Mary. Farmville Normal,
V. Nj. l., V. p. l. and the Univer-
sity of Virginia. The Convention
recognizes the strong influence that
the school system sways in politics
and that nepotism has been largely
practised. Their efforts are common
dabIe, but is the idea reciied a
good one? If Mr.. Dunaway can get
a good whack at them there will be
no institutions receiving aid from the
State, and consequently that part of
the board will be lacking. If the
Reverend del gate fail to accomplish
his desire, and this plan of the Con-
vention committee is adopted, the
last state of the school system may
be worse than the first. The Gov
ernor and Attorney General still re
main, and superintendent elected
by them aud the institution heads
would be no better than one chosen
by the General Assembly. Politics
might run rife as before, since every
institution will be seeking State APP
preparations, and what moro powerful
political organization could they get
than the liz county and city school
superintendent, each with 5 to 20
district members under him, and
each of these with the families of
anywhere from a half dozen to a
score of applicant teachers watch
ing his beck and coming at his call.
Political progression-and "pulls T"

idea, gentlemen. The thing needs
shifting-but not from the frying

MIDDLEsEX AND ESSEX have
chosen delegates to both Senate and
Honsenominating conventions. Both
counties giveJ. Boyd Sears a majority
of the delegates over Hon. Il. f..
Blakey, the present incumbent,
which in all probability insures
Sears nomination. The district
south of us is to be congratulated
upon the preference it has shown for
this clean, polished and rising young
citizen of Matthews county. Mid
dlesex also declared for w. II.
Lawson for the House, and, without
attempting to advise, Essex could, in
our opinion, do little better than to
endorse Middlesex' action and centre
on this representative man from
lower Middlesex.

hope that the Norfolk yentlop
will ''tote fair" with the First Dis
trict-provided the District is true
to herself-nor that the combination
feared by our Northampton con-
temporary will he able to work their
Vaccinations. Money, misrepresen-
tation and false pretense, we grieve
to say, have had greater sway in the
present campaign than ever before
IN Virginia politics, but there will
DE many true men among the victor
ious element at Norfolk who will
not consent to be parties to a comb
nation that has pitted money and
trickery against merit and deserts.
The First District will be looked to
to give its usual Democratic majority

peclally against whiskey selling.

their reports to this conference we
are glad to state that there is much
progress on the district. Five charges
have paid their elder and pastor up

paid to date. Only five are behind
and feel doubtful. Sixteen of the
charges will raise all conferences col
lectlons in full; some have already
done so. Only six seem to be doubt
full. From the above facts we be-
heve there will be large missionary
collection. We trust the time il 1T
hand when the church feels the im
portance of meeting her obligations

Brethren of the laity, let us make
every effort to keep our pastors paid
up in full to date, so that they may
be able thereby to do better work for
