REV. SAM JONES COMING !

Rev. Sam Jones, the great Geor-
gia orator, evangelist and lecturer
will make his first appearance in
Texarakna, in Ghios opera house,
on Tuedsay evening April 9th, in
his highly humorous and instructive
lecture, Get There and Stay
There" In commenting upon his
appearance at Charleston S, G.,
the News and Courier says Of him;
"Sam Jones scored success last
night. He got there in great shape
and in every sense of the word.
Samuel is a little above the average
height for a man; is slender in fig
ure, has square face relieved by a
black mustache and surmounted by
coal black hair. He is fairly good
looking, has a rich, full voice to
which the broad southern accent
adds a charm, is perfectly selt-pos-
sessed, and fluent to remarkable
degree. His great charm is his
rollicking good nature and bound
less humor 1t takes all the sting
from statements which in cold type
look and are harsh, He kept audi
ence in a gale of good humor and as
his most frequent thrusts we're at
the preachers and deacons the
workings enjoyed him most of all.
