best. With temperature just right,
very congenial crowd, and a program
so nicely arranged and carried out,
this has been just about as fine
campmeeting as has ever been held

with us today. From Maysville has

Rev. ]. II. Howes came over to the
camp for the superintendent. Broth
er Davenport, upon whom the burden
of supervising the campmeeting this
year, will return Sunday afternoon to
be at the grand wind-up that night
Mr.. II. Carr Pollitt will leave in the
morning for Maysville from where he
at once will be called on the road
for his firm. And he hates to go, too
Not one person has enjoyed the meet
ing more than he, and is planning to
buy cottage and going in for camp
meeting in the right way. There is
however, a smile of satisfaction on his
face. In final test at the game of
quoits he and John Brodt beat Car
penter and Richardson three out of
five games. And he is getting away
while his record is good.
Mr.. +. II. Staley of Vanceburg was
in camp over night last night
Most of the preachers will leave to-
morrow to be at their appointments
Sunday. There will be left enough to
carry on the services until the close.
The evangelist will be given almost
complete sway on Sunday. He is
abundently able to take care of the
occasion. DR. Nichols is much in love
with the place and has expressed his
willingness to come back next year.

At the young peoples service Rev

his School" as he pleased to call the
Young peoples service. For one COM
ing unexpectedly into the place OF
leader of the young people, Brother
Cheap has by his original methods
ready with, and his untlrlng devotion
to the young people, made these meet
ings a great success. Another chief
contributing factor to their success
has been the young peoples choir
which has each day rendered a num-
Der of beautiful choruses and several
splendid numbers. Then the whistline
selections given by Miss Mcclellan
have added interest and increased the
attendance. Altogether they have
been delightful meetings
At the close of the meeting last
night a number of the young folks
gathered out in the big woods and en-
joyed a marshmellow roast. Misses
Muse and Nauman were the entertain
ers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Dodds and Miss
Mcclellan will, give a half-hour mu-
steal program Saturday evening, be-
ginning one-half hour before the
evening service-7:9O. to 8 O'Clock
This is sure to be the biggest musical
treat of the campmeetlng. Their gen.
crosby with their music is certainly
appreciated by the campers.
Another immense audience was out
for the evening service. DR.. Nichols
continued his series of evangelistic
. sermons. \
