The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1919-07-28


aliy--always finally--when We were
enjoying sleep with all its soothing in
fuences the early prayer meeting bell
rang out on the morning air. And
such is life sometimes at campmeet-
ing.
| The Carpenter and Fizer families
had big reunion on the campgrounds
today. Part OF the family are camp
ing. Seeing the big circle out in the
woods we we're curious enough to pry
In and see who they were. And they
were having the greatest time. The
exact number in the crowd WAS not
gotten but Just read this list and you
can surmise that it was some family
reunion Mrs. Virginia Carpenter, her
four sons, Sam, Arthur, Frank and
Irwin, their wives and children, four
daughters, and their families, Mr.. and
Mrs. Oral James and son, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jasper Tucker and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gus Lynn Tolle and son, Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Fizer of Flemingsburg,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fielding Fizer Of Flem-
ingsburg, Mr.. and Mrs. John Clifton
and daughter of Flemingsburg and
Messrs. Tom May and Carl Duzan.
The services of the day have been
excellent from the early prayer SER
vice led by Rev. Ashley, the praise ser
vice led by Mr.. Richardson, the morn
ing and evening services at which DR..
Bunton preached and the afternoon
service with Dr. M. M. Culpepper of
Kansas City, Missouri, as preacher.
There was some disappointment
when the people learned that Rev.
Overley who was announced to preach
in the afternoon would not be here
on account of the illness in his family.
But when the crowd learned that they
were to hear DR.. Culpepper they were
more than compensated for their dis
appointment. DR.. Culpepper Is the
pastor Of one Of Kansas City's largest
Methodist churches, and Is preacher
with a magnetism about his personal
ity and preaching that wins his hear
ers He had the largest audience of
the day and gave them a soul-search-
ing message on "sin." The preacher
and his family left soon after for
Johannesburg where they will visit
relatives for a few days returning to
Kansas City in time for him to preach
in his own church next Sunday.
With such sermans DR.. Bunton Is
making a greater reputation for him
self He is giving US some great things
to think about. And that folks are
thinking deeply is evidenced by their
response to the propositions made by
the evangelist Much good is being
done and we are sure the success OF
the meetings will be great
Our paper boy, Robert Peters is
sure enough hustler. He keeps at us
every day to get him more papers
They all want the paper with the
Campmeeting news, showing that the
people appreciate the publicity given
our campmeeting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Cole and Miss
Helmer Of Maysville enjoyed their first
day at Ruggles Campmeeting today.
Glory be! Uncle julie" and I'm
Gle Pork" came out from Maysville to
see us today. "Glad to see YOU"
Mr.. Ned Piper of Maysville spent
the day with his wife and daughter
who are camping.
Harry Maxwell is here at last
'nuf said.
| A crowd is one of the hardest things
to Judge as TO numbers. Various opin-
ions and comparisons have been made
during the day about. the attendance
All speculations were put to rest when
the gate receipts were tailed up. They
showed the attendance to be far ahead
of any first Sunday Of the campmeet-
ing. At this rate OF increase we are
wondering what the second Sunday
will be. Many who came from Mays
Vile say that nearly everyone you
mention campmeeting to were making
plans to attend the last Sunday. Come
along, we'll be glad to have you, and
can promise you the best preaching
ever heard at Ruggles Campmeeting
| and the hast time
As a closing sermon for hot and
busy Sunday DR.. Bunton gave US q
sermon-lecture on "The Tragedy of
Wedding Dress" 1t was full of spicy
humor yet with sufficient solid prac-
teal points to make 1t sermon for
serious contemplation and considera-
ton especially for the young folks.
Ruggles Campgrounds, July 26.-Af-
ter reading the reports Ia the city pa
pers about the intense heat of Friday
we are not surprised at getting lit
tie touch of 1t out here in the woods
But after the sun went down the incest
breezes foated through the trees and
we we're waited into the most delight
full nights sleep. But the heat has
taken another turn at us today. How
we,come a good shower would be.
