At hotel Messrs. Bobbitt and Price
with splendid force of cooks, walters
and all needed helpers and IA big sup
ply of good eats not the least of which
is several coops of fine "yaller leg
gers" already for the frying pan.
From the foregoing II will be seen
thta the opening day will see a we'll
filled camp with the Euworth League
Institute crowd mostly to come on lat
err Rev. Peters manager of the lnsti-
tute is being kept as busy as a Meth
odist preacher dare be. Upon him de-
wolves the responsibility of seeing that
everybody who wants to attend finds
a good place to stay and plenty to eat
mo small job.
A time e-honored custom has been re-
stored this year much to the gratifica-
tion of large number of campers
that OF having plenty of straw TO fill
beds with. Since the time the camp
meeting board had their lumber sawed
out in the woods sawdust has been
used for a covering under the taber-
nacle. But the sawdust has seen bet
ter days and so has been removed and
we are to be back to the good old days
OF campmeeting straw. Beds that have
not been re-filled for several years got
good "re-filling" today and we will
all sleep more comfortably tonight
Already there is much talk of a
proper observance of the semi-centen-
ial of the campmeeting next year.
Plans will be started when the associ-
alton meets. 1t can and should be
made great occasion. 1t has been
suggested that an effort be made to get
everyone who attended the first meet
ing here as we'll as the preliminary
meeting at Canaan's church to be
present. Really make it an old-time
homecoming.
Rev. f. w. Harrop has been having
the time of his life here for the week
past-just taking it easy II you call II
easy to be toting two grandchildren
all about the camp. But where Is
there Grandpa" who would no dc
IT? And Grandpa Harrop is some
grandpa" We are all regretting that
he must leave for his home at Somer'
set tomorrow. His family. however
will remain for the entire campmeet
ing.
This drouth is a serious thing here
abouts. Just played smash with thu
blackberry crop. And some of us ha(
nut off until campmeeting to get on
share of berries. The hot sun and con
tinued dry weather has dried them III
on the bushes. Hundreds of gallon
have been lost in that way. All crop
are suffering from the protracted dr.
spell. A good soaker would be wei
lcomed by all
