REDUCTION OF FARE FOR FRESNO CAMP-MEETING.
By M. H. Brown
To secure reduction of fare in attending the camp-meeting, the following instructions and conditions must be carried out: 1. Tickets for Fresno may be purchased now at any time, and tickets for returning must be bought not later than October 14. 2. A certificate, or receipt for your money, must be secured from the agent of whom you purchase your ticket. 3. All certificates and receipts must be signed on the camp-ground by the conference secretary, M. H. Brown, before you start for home. You can then purchase your return ticket at one-third the regular fare by presenting your certificate or receipt to the agent. 4. There must be fifty buying tickets to the meeting over any railroad in order to secure the reduction over that road. Directions for Reaching the Fresno Camp-Meeting.
All who come from the north by way of Stockton with teams, will find better roads if they come from Stockton to Oakdale and on to Merced by Hopeton Bridge. From Merced to Fresno the road is good, but along the S. P. Railroad between Merced and Modesto, the road is quite sandy much of the way, and tho it is the most direct route, loaded teams especially will find the Oakdale road preferable. On nearing Fresno, all teams from the north will keep the wagon road east, after crossing the S. P. Railroad till they reach the camp, which is in the northern part of Fresno. On reaching Fresno by rail, take the street-cars for the camp-ground. Those coming over the Southern Pacific will find the street-car service the most direct to the camp-ground. We hope the electric cars will be in operation before the meeting closes, but at present only horse cars are used. The location of the camp-ground is on the corner of Blackstone and Belmont avenues; the cars run to the corner of the grounds. Baggage will be transferred by our people who are in the business here. Give your checks to those only who have the words, “Camp Ground” on their hats. We are sure of quick and Christian service in handling the baggage. All the principal trains of the day will be met, and night trains if notice is given in advance. All communications relative to these matters should be addressed to H. G. Thurston, Fresno, Cal. Tents will be rented for the Fresno camp-meeting as follows: 10X12, $2.50; fly, 50 cts; burlap, 50 cts. 12X17, $3.50; fly, 75 cts; burlap, 75 cts; double wire springs, 75 cts; three-fourths wire springs, 60 cts. Please order at once. M. H. BROWN.
