(12EAT CAMP MEETING
At MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK
Will Close Next Sunday Night Meet
ings Greatly Enjoyed.

The camp meeting at Mountain Lake
Park is not so largely patronized by
those from distance as formerly, but
this year, the attendance by Garrett
CONTAINS is largely increased. Neither
is the attendance of ministers as large
as in the days that have gone by. This
year the camp meeting has an excellent
corps of workers.
Thus far the meetings have been
greatly interesting and enjoyed. The
singing of Mountain Lake Park camp
meeting is always good. Among the
old timers are DIR. Durham, Rev. Hyde
and A. j. Dolbow. 1t would hardly be
a successful camp meeting without Mr.
Dolbow. He is a man every body loves.
He is whole camp meeting within him
self.
The meeting Will close next Sunday
night. The last Sunday of the camp
meeting is always great day. 1t at
tracts great crowds of people. We
would suggest to those of our readers
who can do so, to arrange to spend
next Sunday at the Park and enjoy the
services provided for that occasion.
It is an opportunity that only comes
once year. Take the entire family to
the Park Encourage the workers by
your presence.
We miss the old time song services
which were held on the verandas of the
hotels and boarding houses in the days
of Bishops" Thompson, DR.. Pepper,
and other sainted leaders now in the
LAND beyond"

Record Breaking Peach Crop.

Conservative estimates of the peach
crop in the Smithsburg region of the
South Mountain fruit belt place it at
from 600 to 800 carloads. or between
10000 and 250,0 900 bushels, while the
financial returns will be about a dollar
for every bushel. This tremendous
crop will be handled and shipped from
Smithsburg and represent only part
of the fruit crop, as apples and other
fruit will yield largely and increase the
revenue of the growers. The peach
crop will be the biggest in that section
since 1899.
