ORIGINAL "Lene Tree.

There was an immense cottonwood,
four feet thick and very tall, which
stood In Nebraska almost In the cen
ter of the continent, half way between
New York and San Francisco, which
was within one mile of that center.
Under its branches rested thousands
of '49-ers en- route to the Eldorado of
the Pacific coast. 1t was the best
known camping ground on the old
California trail. From 1S49, when the
gold seekers rushed across the great
plains down to the completion of the
Union Pacific railway, the great tree
was a guidepost to the wagon trains
going west.
After the railway was completed
there was no further use for the old
tree and it eventually rotted away and
died. In 1910 monument was
erected on the spot that the tree had
occupied. 1t represents the trunk OF
a giant cottonwood and bears this In
scription: ION this spot stood the
original Lone Tree on the old Cali
fornia TRAIL"

There are other tent-holders, sew
>eral families from Roswell, but in
mentioning these names / merely
wanted to show how many descend
ants of pioneer tenters are trying to
keep up this old custom and to insist
on other descendants las well as other
people of the county, to join US in
the maintenance of these historic
grounds where so much good has been
accomplished. Will you not prepare
to join us next year? A regular or
ganization of the tent holders has
been perfected and strong commit
tee appointed which promises COM
Portable seats for the arbor and other
conveniences needed for next year.
AS for the ministers, we have the best
the country affords, our presiding ell
der, who is believer in camp meet
ings, sees to it that we have good
preaching. The time has been ex-
tended a day and night beyond the
usual closing, and now with many
other good reasons than those men,
toned, can you see why this camp
ground, with it's natural beauty and
historic setting, should not be pre-
served and made the assembling
grounds of all Cobb county Metho-
dists, and other denominations who
wish to join us? A Tent Holder.

MARIETTA CAMP MEET
ING A GRAND SUCCESS

Was the Marietta camp meeting q
aAsuccess this year? Indeed, it was
from every point of view. First, OF
course, it was a revival, hearts were
pladdened and encouraged, souls were
saved and there were thirteen aces
sions to the church on profession Of
faith. Second, the social intercourse
was pleasant as usual and would
nszpre than pay one for the trouble
OF moving out to camp for the few
days stay there, to say nothing of
the spiritual blessings one receives
who goes there expecting refresh
ing from Gods bounty of grace.
These affairs are sacred and / would
be glad to know just how many souls
have been converted on this hallowed
spot. The intermingling of relatives,
friends-country people and town.
folks, is indeed delightful, and loving
memories of those who once tented
here and have crossed into the Great
Beyond are perpetuated. Could
there have been more fitting trib-
ute paid to the lives of the two tent
holders who passed away since last
camp-meeting and in whose memory
a special service was held, than the
reception into the church of the
grandchildren of both Uncle Dock
Algood and Uncle Lum Sewell (as
they were Familiarity called,) also a
grandson of E. P. Gaines, who was
also a tent-holder and teacher at this
old camp ground. No monument of
marble or granite could so beautifully
portray the influence of the lives of
these good men than the following in
their footsteps of these grandchil-
dren, and the building of strong char
acters that will help to make our
world better. Let's see who are the
tent-holders now on the old camp
ground. The children and grandchil-
dren-mostly grandchildren of the
pioneer tenters. 1 hope by next year
to have a complete list Of all who have
ever tented there to place on the
pages of the minute book, that his
tory of this oldest of camp grounds
may be preserved.
/ will mention a few Of these pio-
neer tenters who were represented
this year:
Mrs. B. T. Frey, granddaughter of
Mr.. Jesse Oslin.
Mr.. B. T. Frey, son of W. M. Frey.
Mrs. Theresa Gober Handy, daugh-
ter of T. A. Gober.

Australian Water Holes.

A curious form of water hole is
found in the deserts of western Aus
tralia, dry by day but yielding an
abundant supply of water by night.
The flow of water is preceded by
weird kissing and sounds of rushing
air. On examining one it was found
that the water supply occurred In a
long narrow trench, at the bottom Of
which was thin plate of gneiss, sep
arated by a cavity from the main rock
mass beneath. Apparently the heat
of the day causes this plate to ex-
pand In the form of depression, In
which the water retreats. When II
cools and contracts at night 1t forces
first air and then water back into the
trench.
