Virginia Camp-Meeting

By R. D. Hottel; A. M. Neff

The annual conference and camp-meeting for this conference will be held at Hampton, Va., Aug. 13-20, 1907. Hampton is located on the Hampton Roads, just across from the Exposition grounds, and is a station on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

All who come by way of Washington, D. C., and the boat, will get off at Old Point. All who come from Richmond and landings on the James River will also get off at Old Point. Those who come over the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad will get off at Hampton. Those coming by other roads will have to arrange to reach Hampton from Norfolk or other points. One street-car fare is sufficient from Newport News and Old Point to the grounds. Ask conductor to let you off at camp-meeting grounds.

Accommodations

We have rented rooms this year for the accommodation of our people, instead of erecting tents. These rooms will cost four dollars for the time of the meeting. You can occupy your room at noon, Tuesday, August 13, and will have to vacate at noon, Wednesday, August 21. These rooms are furnished as follows: one electric light, one cot with bedding, and one chair. There is no other furnishing in the rooms. They are clean and neat, however. Extra cots can be rented for forty cents for the time of the meeting. Double bed springs will rent for sixty cents, and chairs for ten cents a piece. If our people will notify us, we will be glad to get other furnishings for them if they can be obtained.

Rooms should be ordered at once, so that we may know if we shall need to secure more rooms than we have at present arranged for. Do not come on the grounds expecting to be accommodated unless you have sent in your order. Send all orders to O. F. Dart, 1300 North Twenty-eighth St., Richmond, Va.

Dining-Room

Arrangements are being made whereby meals will be served twice a day. Prices will range according to the order of the customer, and will be as cheap as possible. Health foods will be kept on hand. Accommodations for those who do not wish to board will be

made, as cooking can not be done in the rooms.

Railroad Rates

The best rates obtainable will be round-trip tickets to the Jamestown Exposition. Buy a ten- or fifteen-day ticket, and this will give you time to remain during the entire time of the meeting. A fifteen-day ticket will allow you to visit the Exposition for a day or two if you so desire, and will no doubt give time to lay over at Washington or Richmond on the return trip. Try to get tickets so as to land at Old Point or Hampton if possible. Bring checks to camp-ground, and baggage will be taken to the encampment at cost to us.

Each person should bring sufficient bedding and other articles that he may need during the meeting, as we do not furnish these. We may be able to accommodate transients with cots, but they should bring bedding with them.

Any other information will be gladly given on request to the undersigned, at New Market, Va.

R. D. HOTTEL, President, A. M. NEFF, Secretary.
