LAUREL AND BETHEL CAMP
GROUNDS, August 24.-Today is the
last Thursday of camp and there
should be a record-breaking crowd in
attendance. Next Sunday will be the
last day of camp. A number of fam
lilies are talking of remaining in the
grove for another week or two.
From every viewpoint this year has
been the most successful in the his
tory of the campmeeting Owing TO
the extensive preparations in the past
and present season the association
had spent considerable money. This
year there was a deficit of several
thousand dollars. It was decided to
raise the price of admission or give
up the campmeeting. The former was
chosen and the change has gone we'll.
Financially the camp Is better of
than it has been in years.
There will be an election Of direc-
tors and officers of the association on
the grounds on Friday night and con-
siderable interest is already mani
tested. Il is understood the present
officials will be reelected. The Off
