The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLVII. 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 ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR TREASURER. I hereby announce myself a candidate for County Treasurer for Henry county, subject to the election to be held September 23d, 1921. The vote of both ladies and gentlemen will be highly appreciated, and if elected, will discharge the duties of the office to the best of my ability. Talmon Pattillo.
