In company with G. P. Damron,
DR.. Farmhouse, R. L. Barger and
F. w. Delano the writer went to
Pennington last Saturday to hear
Attorney General Major make a
speech. MI. Major is a good talk
er and delivered a pleasing and
telling address. The attendance
was not'large, but | was told this
could beaccounted for to some ex-
tent by reason of the fact that al
most everybody had left town that
morning to attend a picnic at
French Village, some ten or fif-
teen miles away. At that, it was
said, the crowd was a larger one
than that at the Cowherd meeting,
addressed by w. D. Vandiver a
week or so previous. However,
the town of Pennington will prob
ably give a majority for Cowherd,
but nearly every one with whom |
talked declared the county at that
time was largely for Major.
heard one old resident say, how
ever, that he had noted thst the
emissaries of the corporations had
been getting busy the past few
days and he understood the coun-
ty would be flooded with money
this week to turn the tide from
Major. We made the trip to Farm
ington in Fred Delano's automo-
bile and it was a delightful expe-
rience. The roads are in pretty
good shape, and Mr.. Delano is a
skilled and careful driver. | en-
joyed the ride immensely.
: The Methodist Encampment at
Arcadia has good attendance, and
its numbers are daily increasing.
The program published in this
paper two weeks agois being fol-
lowed from day to day. Last
Saturday evening, in company
with a couple of friends l attend
ed the night services. 1t was a
beautiful evening closing an ideal
summer day. A sweet life-giving
breeze played over the Valley
the sky was cloudless and a full
moon gave fairy touches to tree
and bush and vale and mountain.
The placidity of love and peace
was over everything, shaming
the little b~itternesses and strifes
that sometimes render one unfit
to enter into His presence as one
can only through the contempla-
ton of the grandeur, the beauty
and the perfectness of His works.
Self-suffcient indeed the soul that
does not then shrinK within itself?
The Encampment is happily stu
ated, with a commanding view OF
the Valley and the mountains en-
circling It. The ascent to the crest
of the mountain is of so easy grade
that one is surprised when, the
summit attained, he looks down
upon the valley so far beneath
him. | liked the song service that
evening: the bonhomie, if I may,
so express it, of the choir leader,
who made his work one of enjoy
ment to himself as we'll as to the
assemblage. | could not help men
tally comparing it with the grim
and super-sedate service that pre-
vailed when | was a boy-never
mind how1ong ago-when I went
to church, not from choice but by
the superior will of those who tried
to train me in the way youngsters
ought to go and not depart from it.
The sermon or address that fol-
lowed was in behalf of Foreign
Missions. a subject that does not
appeal to me, for reasons not nee
essary to here set down. The drive
home was made about ten o'clock,
and, shortly after, the moon, the
stars and all the wonders of Ma
ture faded in unconsciousness.
May the Encampment long be a
source Of pride to its projectors
and a blessing in the good it pur-
poses!
