The little son of Mr. Walter Welch accidentally fell last Sun day and broke bis leg just above the ankle. He and some other children were playing around a syrup mill ai the home of relatives near Hampton, where they had gone on a visit, when the accident occurred. We are glad tu note that he is doing nicely at this writing. You can talk about hard times and get gloomy as much as you please, but this old world is hav ing a big old time and don’t you forget it. Folks are flying in the air, riding in gasoline wagons and wearing fine clothes, and are right up to date on everything. God’s folks and the devil’s folks are all going wild over the vain things of this world, and it’s getting unpop ular to be religious, and if Gabriel were to blow his horn, people are too busy to listen to it. Camp meeting time at old Shin gleroof Camp Ground, how it re calls sweet memories of long ao. The oldtime songs and the oldtime experience meeting and the old time shouting and oldtime preach ing and the oldtime social way in which people use to greet each other, and as the time has arrived for another gathering at this old camp ground, vve could not keep our mind from reverting back to the days of long ago, when people were not ashamed to sing and praise the Lord in the oldtime way. In our imagination we can see the old fathers and mothers of old Shingleroof, who have gone on before, looking back through tlie portals of heaven and beckon ing to loved ones to come. Oh! what a happy thought. May God’s mighty power be with Bro. H. S. Smith who has charge of the ser vices, and may this 0e an oldtime camp meeting. Nolan-Oglesby.
