grounds of the Portage and Summit Counties
Association in Kent on Wednesday, Sept. 3rd
1890. with union meeting of 5000 Democrats
5,999 Republicans, $40 Prohibitionists and Z
Mugwumps, all of whom will leave their polit-
ical preferences at home and do honor to the
pioneer fathers, as well as the chief executive
of the favored Buckeye State. The noble Grand
Army boys. now 100000 strong, whose whiten-
ing locks and boards show tLat Father Time is
drilling them for pioneer ranks-A good sprink-
ling of these honored sons. to whom the nation
owes so much, will be there to listen to the
Governors address and the patriotic music of
the peerless Grand Army. Canton Band the en-
| terprising citizens of Kent have secured for the
occasion.
The city of Kent will be made attractive by

pense to give the Governor grand ovation.

| doing everything possible to make it an occasion
replete with interest, and one long to be re.
| membered. Every citizen of Portage and Sum-
| nit counties is cordially and urgently invited

| meeting, to perpetuate the memory of the good
| old pioneer fathers and mothers, who endured
| the privations and hardships of early days, and
| bequeathed to their children and their chill.
