FOUNTAIN PARK STARTS WITH FINE SUNDAY CROWD.

Every Cottage Occupied, litany Tents On the Grounds, and Everything Points to Big Success. (By Our Special Correspondent.) Sunday at Fountain Park was a distinct success. It was the best first Sunday in the history of Fountain Park, surpassing the successes of former years. The attendance at Sunday school was good, and the morning sermon by Dr. H. L. Calhoun was worth coming many miles to hear. Mrs. A. B. Waltz made her first appearance and all are grateful to the management for having secured her. She is surely mistress of her art. Dr. Thotnas B. Terhune delighted all with his lecture, “The Land of Good Enough.’’ He made one proud to know that he was an American. The Bertha Wooden Concert Orchestra gave one of their famous concerts at 3:30 p. m., and another again at 8 o’clock. Never in the history of Fountain Park has there been such an outlook for the complete success of the assembly as there is for 1911. As early as one week before the opening a number of families opened their cottages, among these being Charles Martin and family and Rev. Bennett and family, of Kentland. All the cottages were rented and there was a demand for many more. There are more tents than have ever been erected on the grounds before. The hotel management, Mrs. Hopkins and son, of Goodland, promises to give the best possible service. Among the new members of the big Fountain Park family we may mention Mrs. Lowe, of Monticello; Mr. and Mrs. Mel Julian, of White county, and Chris Roush, of Remington.
