SHINGLEROOF CAMP MEETING.) 921.
BISHOP CANDLER ONTHE PLATFORM
Bat few Tents Unoccupied—Partridge's Orchestra and Hooten's
Choir—4.ooo People Present —Seventeen Preachers At
tend—Bishop Candler, Dr. Shelton, Dr. Jones aud Rev. Sam
Haynes Preached Sunday—sso.oo Raised for Superannu
ate Home in Henry County.
Notwithstanding the stringency
ot the times the camp meeting
opened as usual Friday night be
fore the fourth Sunday in August.
Nearly all of the tents were occu
pied. Those not occupied would
have had tenants if there had
been a more prompt compliance
with some of the regulations con
cerning the tents.
Those who attend the night
services missed the good lights
that were in use last year, on ac
count of the financial failure of a
company that was to furnish mod
ern lights. The trustees will like
ly not have to employ substitutes
next year for the brilliant lights
that ought to be installed perma
nently.
A gratifying improvement in the
musical feature was the orchestra
of this year. Several instruments
had been added to the piano,
which increased the volume of
melody and made the sacred song
feature more attractive. Rev.
J. A. Partridge’s McDonough
orchestra did fine work under
his leadership. Mr. W.W. Hooten
was the song leader and he did
good service with his choir, which
ought to have been twice as large
had the singers present in the
audience responded to his repeat
ed and urgent invitations to come
to the platform. Miss Mary
Ammons presided at the piano
and did some good hard work in
leading the instruments and sa
cred song.
The crowds were fine, some
four thousand or more people
being present on Sunday, though
not quite so large as in the past,
on account of Bro. 801 l Weevil.
The order was good, no dis
turbance marring the occasion.
The ministers present were
