Ohio Camp-Meeting Located.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

We decide to hold our camp-meeting at Spring Mills, Richland Co., five miles west of Mansfield. In order to secure as large an attendance of Sabbath-keepers as possible, we sought to locate the meeting at a convenient point. The place selected is the most central for our people of any in the State. Three important railroads, viz., the Baltimore and Ohio, the Pittsburg and Ft. Wayne, and the Mansfield and Coldwater, run within sixty or eighty rods of the camp-ground, and have stations there, though there is no village. But on every side there are large villages. The people can come directly to the ground either by cars or teams. We have seen the railroad officials, and hope to get reduced rates and excursion trains on Sunday. Near the ground are two of the finest springs I ever saw in any part of America. They are so large that they run a good flouring mill.

Now let all calculate to come. Remember it is Aug. 21–25. D. M. CANRIGHT.
