Shingleroof Camp Ground.
Only a memory—nothing more —is
what old historic Shingleroof Camp
ground will have become in a few years
more.
The old staud, which for a half cen
tury past has sheltered the heads of
thousands who, tired of the bustling,
harassing scenes of life, found sweet
repose here in nature’s seclusioD, and
worshipped the God of Creation, lis
tening to the divinely inspired elo
quence of the brightest ministers who
have so richly adorned their high call
ing throughout all Georgia—this old
stand has been left to the corroding
tooth of time, which will in a few short
months raze it to the ground. Can
any of us contemplate without a pang
of regret?
By the action of those competent to
decide, it has been determined that no
camp meeting will this year be held at
this famous encampment, it being al
leged as a reason therefor that there is
an insufficiency of tents in proper con
dition to accommodate the usual quota
of visitors, and that the duty of enter
taining them would fall too heavily
upon the remainder.
This may be considered the begin
ning of the end From this oue lapse,
judging the future by the past, we may
reasonably infer that old Shingleroof
has seen the last camp meeting service
that, in all probability, will ever be
held within its sacred precincts. That
never again will the hymn of praise,
the voice of prayer and supplication,
the thunder of reproof and denuncia
tion, and the sweet voice of persua
sion, be heard within its hallowed
bounds.
This thrice-hallowed spot that has
witnessed the birth of countless new
born souls will be yielded up to the
genius of desolation, and the forest
aisles that once rang with the fervid
and eloquent appeals of that Spartan
phalanx of itinerants, such as James
and Alleu Turner, Noah Smith, Wind
sor Graham, Walter Branham, Albert
Gray, aud the brothers Harwell, shall
be doomed to a solemn and eternal si
lence except when disturbed by the
croaking of frogs or hooting of owls.
The place that once resouuded to
the inspired efforts of that heaven
born orator, Geo. F. Pierce, and his
saintly and brilliant father, shall be
yielded up, aud never again be the
battle-grouud upon which the sous of
God shall engage m valiant combat
with the powers of daiknoss for the
salvation of human bouls.
With all these inspiring and tender
memories of the past, it would he an
eternal reproach upon the Methodism
of Henry county if this hallowed spot,
endeared to so many as the scene of
their uew birth, should for want of a
little energy, labor and a few paltry
dollars, be suffered to go to wreck and
ruin, and become the fit dwelling place
for the hat and the owl. Methodism
has lost much of its ancient spirit of
liberality, if this slate of affairs is suf
fi red to prevail; and we hope aud be
lieve, trust and predict, that there will
be a geueral loosening of purse strings,
a girding up of the loins for a general,
prolonged aud systematic effort, and
that old Shingleroof will long continue
in the future what it has been in the
past—the pride and stronghold of
Methodism in Henry county.
The Weekly, in common with all
the friends of this old time honored
camp meeting, can hut receive with
feelings of saduess the announcement
of even its temporary suspension.
For the sake of sweet by-gone mem
ories, if nothing else, let’s cling to it!

A Trip to Texas.
Mil Editor :--»Having just return- I
--I t,>en a visit to relatives and old ac-'
quaint twees out in the ‘‘Lone Star!
State,” and other sections of the west, I
I thought a lew pen pictures of what
n e under my observation, my expe
iion e. and a brief dscripti.ri of the
many ('<> me) tie*' and interesting
things seen on the route, would proba
bly prove of interest to friends and
neighbor* here at home.
I have lor a long lime contemplated
making a trip of this sort, but the great
distance, and a knowledge that old
age was creeping on. had deterred me
foi a long time; but this year every
thing itemed favorable, and such a
gr. it de-ire took possession of me to
ouce more look upon the faces of my
old brother and sister, that I decided
to yield to the desire—and my visit
was the result.
Only a few short years ago, it seems,
when one spoke of going to Texas, it
was regarded as an undertaking of as
much consequence, and fraught with as
mmy dangers, as a voyage to Japan
is generally considered at this day—
now it is a delightful jouruev of only
one day ami night.
1 ate dinner at home ou Tuesday,
the 16th, ami on Thursday following
dined with my brother in Texas, near
Pittsburg—having crossed three. States.
En route to Pittsburg, I passed the
follow ing named places consecutively;
Ailanta, Birmingham, Meridiau, Vicks
burg, Shreveport, Marshal and Big
Sandy.
At Pittsburg I was the guest of an
old Georgian for a while after my ar
rival, who showed me every hospitality
possible, but as the object of my visit
was to see my dearly beloved brother,
D. T. Kimbell, and his wife aud fami
ly, 1 hurried away as soon as possible
for his home, some liutle distance out
iu the country.
I had not written mv brother word
that 1 eveu contemplated visiting him,
hoping to catch him unawares aud en
joy what would prove an unexpected
visit to himself and family. Imagiue,
fri-mis, my feelings when, arriving at
my brother's house, I looked upon iiis
beloved and once familiar face, after
an absence of thirty years ; and to him
mine was the face of a stranger, as the
following circumstance will clearly in
dicate :
Arriving at his home, 1 informed
him 1 was from Georgia, ami asked if
he had a brother and sister living near
Locust Grove, to which he responded
iu the affirmative. I then to'd him 1
hva* well acquainted with them, and
promised before leaving home to call
upon him while in Texas, so as to be
able to tell them something about him
self and family upon my return. Upon
learning these facts I was cordially
invited into the house, where,
upon being asked my name,
to save detection, 1 gave the
fictitious one of Johnson. And for
two houres 1 controlled myself suifi
ciently to carry out the pait I had un
dertaken, and answer questions relative
to loved ones here at home. At last
! could stand it no longer, so turning
to my brother’s wife, I exclaimed, “Lu
cy, dou’t any of you know me ?” With
a woman’s keen perception she tl en
recognized me, exclaiming, “why, ii’g
William himself!” And tlieu such a
time, such a time. It makes my old
heat throb with gladness to think of
the joy experienced in meeting w'th
those loved ones.
At Pittsburg 1 met a number of
Georgians, wdio showed me every cour
tesy, honoring me with many invita
tions and other kindnesses, simply be
cause 1 w’as from their old mother
State.
Fittsburg is situated in eastei n Tex
! as, and is suirouuded by just about such
firm lauds as lie between my boms
ami McDonough. This is iu the tim
ber section, about fifty miles from the
' prairies, aud they have plenty of post
oak, blackjack, etc. One thing strange
I to me was the fact that there the black
jack and buckeye flourish together—
something 1 never saw here. Another
thing that attracted my attention was
the mammoth grape vines which grow
wild in that section. Many of them
were actually as large round as my
body. The rock are very peculiar,
being of various shapes and kinds, but
are principally composed of a lot of
small pebbles which appear to have
been melted together. I brought a
small assortment of them home with
me, which I consider a curiosity.
Iu Titus couuty I saw several prairie
dogs, kept as pets. They do not bear
the least resemblance to a dog, but are
very much iu size and appearance like
our fox squirrel.
The stock throughout the section I
visited are very small. The Spanish
mule is mostly used as a farm animal,
and is hardy aud does good work.
From Fittsburg I went t> Texar
kana to visit my niece in the city, aud
my sister. Mrs. F. Crow, near by.
Her.', on Sunday before my depar
lure f<>r home, a family reuuiou was
held at my sister’s residence, at which
1 had tli■ pleasure of m eting nearly
ali of my relatives in the west, some of
them going a hundred and fifty miles
to see me. Thirty five of them were I
prafuiit, »u'l tlje laeitj ry a! that pi***- |
ant oocasion will go down with me to 1
tho grave.
While at Texarkana 1 made two
trips out to the world-famous Red river
bottoms, and found the farms in the
section visited deserted, ou account of |
the often occurring heavy overflows. ]
In places the water marks weie from
twenty to thirty feet high on the trees.
The reputiou of these lands for fertility
has not been over-rated, as the rank
weeds and other growth on the aban
doned farms fully demonstrate, even at
the time of my visit. On one of these
excursions I walki-d half way across an
iron bridge 1,000 feet in length, aud
viewed the great river.
The section of country I visited is
inhabited by good, honest, hospitable
people, and many flue farms are to be
seen, demonstrating their progressive
ness and energy. It’s a good section
and a good people.
On my return I stopped over a day
in that old picturesque and historic
Southern town, Memphis, where tuy
time was pleasantly spent in sight
seeing.
Nearly every hom3 I visited was
supplied with the Atlanta Constitution,
its popularity being as great there as
it. our own sectiou. Their people also
hold in loving remembrance the name of
the lamented Grady. They have Grady
men, Grady children, Grady horses
and Grady dogs.
Well, 1 find I can’t begin to tell
anything scarcely of my tirp in a news
paper article; but, Mr. Editor, for fear
of consuming too much space, I will
have to desist for the present.
In conclusion I will add that it was
a mighty nice place lo visit—but it can’t
compare with old Georgia for a place
of habitation. W. L. Kimbell.
