The National Enesmpneut Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic will be
held iu Boston Aug. I2-l6th next.
These meetings call together larger
bodies Of representative men from
all portions Of the country than any
other organization In the nation,
and the Boston meeting will be no
exception. Kansas headquarters
have been secured In upper Hortieul-

That the great advantages Of Kan

can We reach the iruition Of our de-
sires In this matter. By systemstis- |
ing our work We cen accomplish the
greatest beneficial results for our
state. We can refute the menda-
cIous lIbeIs with which we have been
asssiled, and offer fair. full and con-
proof Of our merits.
As the eyes Of the world have In
the past been turned upon Kansas,
now should the footsteps Of the emf
grant world be turned towards her,
and the muscle, the wealth and the
Intellect Of those seeking TO aid In
up new communities should
be induced to unite with Us In work.
Ing out the destiny Of this state,

This committee therefore extends
= most cordial and earnest invitation
