The country was rather sparcely settled, travel was much more difficult thnn now and people could not go long distances to church and return in a day; hence Camp Meetings were frequent, the people came in large numbers for miles and I camped in covered wagons, tents anil shacks for a week or ten days and great were the religious and social times. But the old time Camp Meeting is almost a thing of the past. Here and there a few of them are left; but these rarely hold the place in the in terest of the people which such gath erings held in the days of our lath ers. There is, however, a distinctive type of camp meeting which flourishes to¬ day and is a mighty power for good, Perhaps the greatest of all these in the South is the Indian Spring Holi ness Camp Meeting, held near that famous spring in Georgia every year beginning on Thursday night before the second Sunday in August and closing the third Sunday night. There are some hundred cottages, many of which are comfortable homes; an i'these are taxed to their capacity to care for the families and their guest who journey annually to this great Southern Camp. A hotel and several boarding houses on the grounds accommodate some five hun dred people and they are filled to , overflowing every year. The cot¬ tages and accommodations on the grounds will take care of more than a thousand people, and easily a thousand more come in from the surrounding country every day, when METHODIST CONFERENCE The third quarterly conference the Fort Valley charge will be held at the Methodist church, Monday at 8:30 p. m., the presiding elder, Rev.

FORT VALLEY PEACH TAKES N. C. HONOR CLP AT ASHEVILLE (Continued from Page One) stunt in a contest among ten states at the Asheville teachers’ training summer school. A program was rush- i ed to her, along with a crate of the j beautiful Hale peaches from the or- | chard of W. D. Murray. Thus Miss ; Hale was enabled to take first honor for Georgia with her stunt, as ex¬ i plained in the following letter to Mr. Vance: 60 F. S. Ha'!, Asheville, N. C. July 17, 1925 Dear Mr. Vance: Well, you are right, they are really the I finest peaches in the world. And we did win the cup, too, for having the ben stunt. I am prouder than ever of being «i Georgian and a Fort Valleyan. (I am still claiming it you see.) The stunt was beautiful. We had a wo* man to read the story of the pageant, and one girl to represent each country who came in as her name was called. The costumes were beautiful. Georgia was the only state represented and the peach was the queen of Georgia. She had several attendants dressed in green who carried peach houghs, and eight fruit bearers, dressed in pink petal dresses, carrying those lovely peachrs on trays. We also had a girl in a pink dress to do a pretty dance. It was decid_*dly the prettiest and most popular thing they had. ! The pictures will be in the rotogravure sec tion of the Atlanta papers soon. The judges were men from New York and they were high in their praise of the Geor¬ gia peach. L have gone into all this detail for Ola’s sake. She will probably be more interested in it than you are. The prize is a beauiful loving cup which Georgia holds till next year. There are about a hundred Georgians here and we were all very happy over winning the cup. since there were ten states entered and all the stunts were fine. Again want to thank you very, very much for helping us out so much. We never could have done it without you. My love to all the folks, I am Your friend truly. Mary Hale.
