but rode bravely on to meet it.
Sam Jones bids fair to prove magnet of
tremendous power to draw crowds to the
Ufbana camp-meeting this year. The at
tendance will probobly be double that of
other years. The grounds are being fixed
up now, and it is said that the rush for &C.
commodations never was so great. Cot
tages and even canvas tents are at a great
premium, and the managers can hardl, -. 4
