Miss Julia Baxter Jones, youngest
daughter OF the great evangelist
Sam p. Jones, arrived here Satur-
day night and are domiciled at
The Pike, while Mr.. Ragsdale, Of
Louisville, the choir leader, is at
the Connolly House. The evangelist
preached to gigantic audiences both
Sunday forenoon and night, The
people are charmed with this man
of God as never before. and the
outcome of the meeting is hard to
predict, as Pikeville is hard to reach
religiously. Bat ten days bonn
bardment against the hardened
hearts of Pikevillians by this pow
erful Southern evangelist, who is
second only to the late Samuel Por-
ter Jones, may have a tendency to
soften even them, and il it does,
he will have accomplished wonders.
That the populace is delighted with
him goes without saying.
