Reduced Rates to Texas Camp-Meeting
By W. A. McCUTCHEN
We are granted a rate of one fare and a third, certificate plan, to our camp-meeting at Waco, July 30 to August 9. The rate applies from the 26th and any day thereafter up to and including August 9, good to return till the 11th. All will pay full fare for tickets purchased to Waco, taking receipt from agent for the same at time of purchase, which, when signed by the conference secretary at Waco, will entitle the holder to return at one-third fare. But let all be sure to get receipts for their tickets or fares at time of purchase, otherwise there will be no reduction returning. If any agent should seem not to know anything about the rate, and hesitate about giving receipt or certificate when asked for it, insist on his giving it, which it is always the agent’s duty to do when asked for it, and the return part will be attended to at Waco. Now let no one overlook this, and then expect reduction returning. On reaching Waco, go to the Glenwood Grove at Webster and South 22d Streets, where the camp will be found. This place is in the southwest part of the city, about three-quarters of a mile west of the M. K. & T. depot, and just south of the track. We shall try to have our labeled men meet all trains the 29th and 30th, but if any should miss them, observe the following directions to reach the grounds: Those coming on the M. K. & T.,23either walk west on the track to camp or take Padgitt Park car at depot, going south, and go to end of line, which will still require a walk of over a quarter of a mile directly west on same street. Passengers arriving on the Cotton Belt, Arkansas Pass, and I. & G. N. roads will take the nearest cars going north to the transfer station where all street-car lines center, and there transfer to Padgitt’s Park car, and follow directions already given. Those arriving by either the Texas Central or H. & T. C., will be landed in East Waco, where there are no street cars. If our hackmen are missed, a walk across the bridge to the west side, a quarter of a mile, will bring you to the cars, where you can get a transfer to the Padgitt’s Park car as described above. Bring your baggage checks to the grounds, and all baggage will be brought out by our men.
