RUGGLESCAMpMEET-
INGOPENS ONE week
FROM THURSDAY
Program Arranged Is Bigger and Bet
ter Than Ever With Strong Speak
ers and Good Time Assured.

One week from tomorrow, Thursday,
July gath, Ruggles Campmeeting be-
gins. There Is unsual interest shown
this year in anticipation of this, which
because Of so many of our Maysville
people being interested in 1t, might be
termed our home campmeeting. Every
cottage and room on the grounds has
been rented. The only chance now is
to get hotel accommodations or for
some one to give up their cottage at
the last minute, which is very impro-
bable. There is no doubt but that the
people appreciate the efforts of the
Board of Directors to secure the best
talent possible. This has truly been
the case this year. The fact that DR..
Bunton Is to be at the camp for the
full time, preaching each evening, is
proving an immensely popular move.
DR.. Bunton will not only fill his part
as evangelist but being so popular So
cially he helps everybody in the camp
have a good time. There's always
something doing" when Bunton is
around.
Then there is j. B. Mahaffey, the
brilliant young preacher from Coving-
ton, who is to lead the young peoples
meetings. And, by the way, his Dis
trict Superintendent has offered him
certain stipulations If he would get
married before coming to campmeet-
ing. Just why has not been told but
we are led to believe that this young
bachelor preacher is immensely pop
ular with the young folks. Just watch
the young peoples meetings boom this
year.
And the little children. There never
was a finer place for the "kiddies'
than Ruggles Campgrounds Just turn
'em loose~and they will have a good
time No danger of getting lost or
injured. Don't have to be dressed
up" all the time. Just go around COM
Portable. Once day an hour has been
set apart for the little ones with the
finest leader that could be found to en-
terrain and instruct them. Miss Vir-
ginia Hurd has had unusual success
with children. Coming fresh from
three weeks visit to the great Meth
odist Centenary she will be prepared
as never before to lead them in the
greatest meetings they have ever had
To see the annual parade of over a
hundred Of the children all diked out
for the occasion Is one of the camp
meeting treats.
Many are wondering who T. B.
Ashley, the singer is. Well he is one
of the Invest young preachers in the
conference. And those who have seen
him lead singing say he will certainly
deliver the goods" at Ruggles. Be-
ing an entire stranger at Ruggles his
coming will be looked for with anx-
ious anticipation.
And so on, and so on. Every phase
of the religious part of the camp
meeting has been we'll looked after
The social side of the campmeeting
is always pleasant. Many people do a
years visiting during the eleven days
of campmeeting. 1t is so convenient
to mingle with your friends from day
to day For the younger set II will
be year of great rejoicing. Last year
most Of the boys were gone, many of
them overseas. There was a dearth
of boys at the campmeeting much to
the regret of the girls. But now they
are all back and there will be one
Grand reunion during campmeeting
What delightful times they are all ex-
pecting. The recreational side will be
special feature. Let every body pre-
pare for a great campmeeting.
