ASSOCIATION.

An interesting report from President
Wharf,.
The annual meeting of the trustees
of the NorthportW esleyan GroveC Camp
meeting Association was held in n ORTIZ
port Sept. 10th. The board organized
by the election Of l. II. w. Wharf, Presi-
dent; II. B. Dunbar, Sec'y; F. II. Nick
erson, Treasurer. The reports of the
officers last year were most encourag-
ing, The standing committees elected
We're the same as last year. Charles o.
Dickey of Northport was elected
caretaker Followin is the report of
the President:
To THE TRUSTEES;
Gentlemen
1t is with pleasure that present to
you my fourth annual report. In the
past year there has been less complaint
and fewer perplexlng questions to settle
than III previous years. In the main
matters have gone along quietly and
pleasantly.
The question of a county road
through the grounds was settled favor
ably TO us at the beginning of the year.
The thought of such an outrage, that
would practically rob us Of our fran
chiZe, caused the people to rise and as
sert their rights. Ninety petitloned for
the road and upwards Of 1000 put them
selves Oh record as opposed to it. II is
thought this question is dead and will
not come up again. Only a few people
pass through the grounds during the
time the gates are closed In 1901 only
49, transfer tickets We're sold at the
north gate, and 80 at the south gate: a
total OF rs passing through the grounds.
In 1902 only about one half that number
OF tickets We're used.
The question of the post office on
the grounds seemed at one time to be a
perplexing one, but was settled to the
apparent satisfaction of all.
The Sunday excursion affair seemed
full of trouble, but i'll your hands,
calmer judgment prevailed. The peo-
Some Lave since changed to the associa-
ton side. The association, made
up as it is, and large ma
jority of its members urging at their
homes Sunday observance could not be
consistent and allow at their grounds
what they would condemn in others.
The stand taken by it is the only one to

holding on the same course that has
made Northport Camp Ground what it
Is. Questions may be raised about the
wharf. These are great questions, that
may never be settled. To avoid them

was 8. 500. then to this must be added
