tant Business Transacted.


Campmeeting Association held a very
busy session yesterday at the home Of
Mr.. /. M. Lane, president Of the Board,
he being unable to leave his home to
attend meeting at the church. The
following members were present:
Revs. w. H. Davenport and e. r.
Overley, District Superintendent re-
spectlvely Of the Ashland and Coving-
ton districts, II. 4. Trent of Vance
burg, s. X. Hunt and j. F. Ruggles of
this city, and DR.. ]. b. O'Bannon OF Mt.
Carmel, ]. Robert Hinton of Epworth,
John r. Brodt Of the county and l. M.
Lane and ]. H. Richardson of the city.
Only one member absent, Rev. A. w.
Insko of Tolesboro, who was in the
midst Of a revival and could not very
well leave.
The Board Is greatly encouraged
over the increased success of the
campmeeting and planned more elab-
orately than ever for the next camp
meeting. One Of the most important
actions Of the Board was the securing
Of Rev. T. Howard Jones, D. D., the
successful pastor-evangelist of First
M. E. Church, Ashland, to have full
charge Of all evangelistic services.
This is new departure. Evangelists
have been used heretofore at times
but at no time has one been given
full authority to conduct this part of
the work as he chooses during the en-
tire campmeeting, DR.. Jones has had
wonderful success both as pastor and
evangelist In pastorate Of about a
year in Ashland the church has had
the best revival in years and has pro-
gressed rapidly along all lines. The
Campmeeting Board feels that they
have been exceedingly fortunate in Sc
curing him for the work.
Rev. E. R. Overley is to conduct the
young peoples meetings. This spells
success. No one is more popular with
the young folks than he. And the
youngsters will hail with delight this
announcement.
Mrs. John Cheap Of Advance, KY, o
successful Sunday School worker, es.
pecially with the little ones, was en-.
gagged for the children's meetings.
The matter of choir leader rni
soloist will be settled little later. |,

led the chorus during the last Stat,
Sunday School Convention in thin ci',
and is we'll known through ut tht
state as fine singer and chorus di
rector, or Miss Trip, teacher cj
music in Union College. Either 0,
these persons can be relied upon. tC
