TYNDAL'S CAMP
ATTRACTS MANY
Sussex Farmers Give UpWOrk
to Attend Service in

. Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
GEORGETOWN. Del. July 81
There is probably not a camp in Sus-
sex county that has such an air Of hos
pitality about it and is liked better
by the residents of so large a scope
Of country as that OF Tyndal's, which
is the youngest in the county and is
now in progress, under the direction
OF the Rev James L. Derrickson,- OF
this town. Sunday was one of the
record DAYS IN its history, and that
alght the grounds were almost black
with humanity, persons for dis
tance of sixteen miles being IN at
tendance. Crowds we're drawn from
Concord. Georgetown. Laurel, Sea-
ford. Millsboro and even as far north
as Bridgeville. This camp is the only
one in progress west of Georgetown,
the central point of the county. Near
ly all persons west of this town who
went to the camps on Sunday wended
their way 10 Tyndals; while those
east of here went TO Lavinia's near
Milton, which started Saturday.
The committee, in making the sell
y
have found a better location, for the
grove is adjacent to two Of the lead
ing county roads Leading from this
town TO Laurel and Seaford. The
grounds fronting the road leading TO
seaford are open and persons are
given easy access TO the circle. Near
~ all the tents or cottages are oc-
cupied. and everyone SENS to be hav-
ing a good time Most Of the cot
tagers at this camp are farmers Of
the surrounding country, who lay
aside their farm duties and go 10 the
grove for a ten-days outing with
their families. II is said that the
grounds are practically deserted in
the morning, because the farmers go
10 their homes and attend 10 the feed
ing of their stock and other duties.
Because Of the fact that it is the only
camp in progress on the western
side Of the county at this time, rec
ord breaking crowds are expected 10
be in attendance throughout the
week.
Following is a list of those who
are occupying the cottage with the
number Of persons staying at each.
