ALTAMONT GETS THE FLAG.

Three Grand Army posts contested fol
the elegant silk banner which was offeret
by. the Interstate Reunion association a!
a prize to the Grand Army post bringing
the largest percentage of members to th'
10th annual reunion.
Three posts entered the contest, Tap
ping post of Altamont, Kas. showing &
muster roll of 23 and having present 2:
members; Andrew Chester post OF Orono
go, Mo-, showing a muster roll OF 3S anc
having present 81 members; General
Crook post of Weir City. Kas., showing
muster roll of 43 and having 43 members
present.
There being tie between Weir City and
Altamont the committee were unable &c
decide which post should receive the flag,
but the question was amicably settled be-
tween the members of the contesting posts,
Altamont to take the flag by paying Weir
City half the value of it in cash.
The banner was duly presented and the
gallant boys Of Altamont took it home
with them. It has gone into good hands.
No nobler set of men were ever gathered
into one organization than these same
farmer boys from the prairies of Labette
county, Kansas. There is not a man on
their muster roll who is not an honor to
the state of Kansas and the patriotic spirit
they have shown in bringing every member
of their post to Camp Logan, regardless OF
expense and trouble and private duties. is
worthy of emulation by all who still wish
to keep in memory the defenders OF the
fag
The same may be said of the boys Of
Weir City They turned out to man and
have aided largely in making the reunion
a success, Weir City has been coming to
our reunions for the past ten years. They
come early and stay to the end. We need
them in our business, and so long as they
can muster up corporal's guard we can
count on Weir City.
Oronogo did almost as we'll as the others
only lacking one man of having their full
muster roll on the ground. The Oronogo
boys came in on Tuesday, bringing their
fine cornet band with them and broke
camp on the last day.
We trust these three posts, and in fact
all other Grand Army posts who have at
tended the roth annual reunion at Baxter
Springs, will 60 home filled with patriotic
enthusiasm, embued with firm determin-
alton to recruit their posts so that next
year they will march into Camp Logan in
double rank and double numbers.

CITIZENS OF BAXTER SPRINGS.

Are YOU aware that there has been a
big reunion in Baxter Springs during the
past week and that from first to last over
fifty thousand people have visited your
city and been entertained by the Inter-
State Reunion Association Are you
aware that this association has been to an
expense of over s2,o to provide enter
tainment, amusement and comfort for
these many thousand visitors' Are you
aware that the Interstate Reunion asso-
citation whose membership is scattered
over at least four states and one territory
will be unable to meet their outstanding
debts unless the citizens of Baxter Springs
come to the front with their old-time lib

bills? This is business proposition and
worthy of your candid consideration. The
association does not ask something for
nothing They have bought camping
grouud and erected permanent and sub
stantial buildings. They have advertised
your city in the most profuse manner;

after year an immense trade to your mer-
chants and business men. and they are also
bringing yearly to your city many persons
who will invest their money and stay with
you? Do you not owe something to this
organization2 If you think you do, show
it in substantial way by taking liberal
amount of stock in the Interstate Reun-
ion Association and hand your money to
the secretary at once. All bills should be
settled by the 5th of September, SO if you
wish to show your patriotism and liber-
ality call on T. c. Weaver, secretary, r.
P. McGregor. treasurer, or ]. ]. Fribley.

money. Do soright away.

From an examination of the score books
we Judge that the shooting tournament
given by the Baxter Springs gun club the
past week was a glittering success Near
iy the entire published program was re-
peated and many special shoots were had.
The attendance was not so large as II would
have been had the shooting park been To-
Gated nearer the Reunion camp, but many

took part in the sport.
