At the request of numerous gentlemen announce
that there will be meeting of the friends Of division
held in Tyler during the first week OF the Federal
Court, which convenes the first Monday in Novem-
Der next. We have assurance that delegates will be
in attendance from all parts Of the East prepared to
represent the wishes of the people of every county,
representative and senatorial district From present
indications anticipate that the meeting will be
large one; and from some communications received
some gentlemen are fearful that hotels and public
houses will not be prepared to accommodate the court
and delegation. We feel authorized to say to all SUCH
upon the part of the people of Tyler, come, and ample
provisions will be made for the entertainment of every
man. There is room for all none need be left behind.
Definite action will be taken to secure the consent of
the Legislature at its next meeting and to submit the
question to vote of the people. Tyler Index.
