thousand PERSONS. But wliorc,says
some one in The rural Districts, are
your fifteen thousand persons to

cent heart from every point Of the
compass. Not alone l5,0OU, but
twice or thrice that number. They
are coming from New York, from
Boston, from Chicago, from New
Orleans, from st. Louis and from
every where
