SAM JONES.

Ka full house greeted the Rev. Sam Jones last Friday evening at Ellis opera house, many people from the country and neighboring towns being in attendance. While Sam gave a great deal of wholesome advice regarding church work, raising families and putting down the saloons, his lecture was not really very elevating, and were it not for the hard knocks, administered to hi s hearers with a lavish hand and without partiality, the only thing by the way that has made him famous, it would have been considered very tame and dry. His aphorisms were to the point and provoked much laughter. No one escaped a good roast.
