Holiness Campmeeting
The Holiness Churches of
Christ will hold their 22nd an
nual campmeeting one and one
half miles west of Brownville, be
ginning August 6 and holding
ten days. Elder J. C. Shaf er will
have oversight of the meeting,
assisted by evangelists, pastors
and others associated with the
holiness movement. Services will
be held morning, afternoon and
night. For further information
write W. H. Lemon, Nemaha.
The good people of Brownvillt
are at present writing undecided
as to what will be done relative
to "Home Coming Day." The
death of Mr. Rainey left the as
sociation without a president and
removed probably the most active
member. Remembering the very
pleasant hours spent on the oc
casion of the first homecoming
day at Brownville in 1907 there
seems to be no one willing to
abandon the good work. Granger.
We are requested to again call
attention of those interested in
our cemetery to the fact that it
is necessary to raise considerable
money by contributions if we
keep the cemetery in the fine
condition it has been kept for a
number of years. Many of those
who have formerly contributed
have as yet failed to give any
thing. Please send or hand to
Elmer E. Allen as soon as possi
ble and assist the board in keep
ing the cemetery in such condi
tion that our citizens will be
proud of it.
