The Board of Directors Of Ruggles

city and lay members John R. Brodt,
president Of the board, W. D. Hen
erickson, of Vanceburg, ]. R. Hinton,
Of Epworth, and G. N. Harding and ].
H. Richardson of the city.
The first matter of business taken
up was the refurnishing of the hotel.
President Brodt as committee on this
matter made his report and upon mo-
ton 1t was ordered that twelve rooms
be thoroughly refurnished with new
cots, mattresses, pillows and other fix
lures to make the ,-fooms attractive.
This will make The hotel very at
tractive place for campers who do not
wish to rent and furnish a cottage.
The date Of the campmeeting was
set for Thursday, July 2Sth, to Sunday,
August 7th, inclusive. 1t was decided
that the camp should be open for
campers from July first until August
31st. This is for the benefit of many
who like to go ahead Of time. Then
this action of the board is to the eff
feet that campers are not to come be-
fore or after the dates set.
BY order of the board the auto park
viii be placed in safe condition for
the parking Of all automobiles. No
machines may be parked within the
campus hereafter. The park will be
let to responsible parties and a spe-
cial price will be made to campers
who have their autos. The larger part
of the woods will still be free for
parking purposes for those who do
not wish special care taken of their
machines.
On account of the improvements to
be made to the hotel thus making 1t a
much more valuable concession 1t was
decided to not open bids for same un-
til the next meeting Of the board on
the Fourth Of July. The other privi-
leges including confectionery, barber
and baggage room, and auto park will
be let at that time.
The board decided to begin the erec-
tion of the new rooming building at
once and selected members Harding,
Brodt and Hinton as building COM
mittee. Many applications for rooms
have already been received and 1t Is
certain that every room will be rented
in short order.
The talent selected to conduct the
various meetings is always looked for
ward to with interest. Especially so
as to the evangelistic talent. This
year the Rev. Geo. w. Birney, Of Co.
lumbus, Ohio, who is the Cincinnati
area evangelist, will have this part in
the campmeeting. Those who know
DR.: Birney personally speak in the
highest terms, not only of his ability
as an evangelist but of the man him
self. He makes a splendid impression
wherever he goes.
DR.. ]. L. Fort, of Louisville, will be
secured for the Sunday school School
of Methods work II possible. This will
be new service for the campmeeting
and Is expected to prove one of the
most effective as we'll as most popular
services Of the campmeeting. DR.. Fort

great Centenary campaign and is now
pastor of Trinity M. e. church, Louis
VILE.
