guests OF the campmeeting are in the
camp this evening. So many could not
come until Saturday, and many others
had laid their plans to spend just one
week. With the arrivals today every
thing Is filled up. The weather con-
tinues ideal and all indications point
to fine first-Sunday.
The early prayer service was con-
Quoted by Rev. N. G. Griswold, of
Tollesboro. The morning sermon was
given by Rev. A. W. Insko of Nicholas
vile. Rev. ]. M. Literal conducted the
young peoples meeting and DR., Birn-
ey preached the evening sermon. Dr..
Rirney is preaching the strongest
series of revival sermons ever heard
at this campmeeting. And that is saw
ing a great deal for many of the lead
ing evangelistic preachers Of the Meth
odist church have been heard here;
No matter what the length of the ser
mons they do not tire the people, The
order is good as we'll as the attend
ance. Perhaps the feature of his ser
mons that makes them so interesting
and gripping is the vast fund Of war
experiences he works into his SER
mons. We are all looking forward
with pleasant anticipation to the Sun
day evening sermon on the subject
cover the Top-In No Mans land
DR.. John Lowe Fort arrived this af-
ternoon, being delayed somewhat be-
cause of his attendance at other
camps. He will now be on the job
every day until next Friday - and
longer If he can be persuaded to re-
main.
Mr.. Tom, Tolle, Of Dayton, Ohio, is
here for a few days camping with the

Miss Jennie Blythe and brother Har-
ry, and Mr.. Herman Clark came out
today to assist with the music over
Sunday.
Mr.. J. C. Simons is here for the week
end. h
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Moore and Miss

Messrs. Leo Hannah and J. A. Hill
came out again today to stay over Sun
day with their families.
Misses Ada Duzan and Escualine
Traxel and Mr. Andrew Moody came
out today for few days enjoyment of
camp life.
Through an error on the part OF
some one maybe of the writer -
it came out in some of the papers that
there would be no gate fees the first
Sunday. 1t was the first Saturday that
no gate fee was charged. 1t has al
ways been the custom to charge gate
fees on Saturday and Sundays; this
year the directors have tried the ex-
pertinent Of no gate fees on the first
Saturday. We trust this explanation
viii be satisfactory to any who may
have come with the thought that moth
ing would be charged.
Mr.. Chas. Rosser is Saturdays ar
rival and is guest of his grandmother
Mrs. VIM. Rosser, in the Lane Inn.
Mr.. J. H. kirkland is here spending
a few days with his daughters.
Messrs. James Hutchison and VIM.
H. Jones are spending the week end
with their families.
Ruggles Campgrounds, July 81. -
The first Sunday Of our campmeeting
is now over. We have had delightful
day. The attendance has been a bit
larger than the same day year ago.
The crowd has been the most orderly
according to Chief Hendrickson, that
has even attended Ruggles Campmeet-
ing. There has been fine audiences at
all services. And we have had SOME OF
the best preaching one would care to
hear. DR.. John Lowe Fort gave the
morning and afternoon sermons. This
is his first visit at Ruggles and as ne
is to be with us several days for big
work we we're naturally anxious to see
the effect Of his first sermons. The
campers who are interested In the
spiritual work of the meeting feel that
in him we have one who will do a
great work.
Dr.. Birney's sermon this evening
was a message Of great and searching
mower! The subject "Over the Top
In No Mans Land had strong ap-
peal to the church. The analogy made
by the preacher between the work OF
the armies Of the nations and the arw-
les of the church was especially ap-
pealing. Such sermon makes us glad
that we are to have another week Of
such preaching. Then on the last Sun
day = the big days of the campmeet-
1g = DR.. Birney is to give two Of his
est sermons at the morning and af-
'ernoon hours.
