On the 3Oth day OF May, 1893, Comrade Logan
II. Roots a member of the National Council of
Administration, and Just elected Commander
of the Department of Arkansas died suddenly
at Little Rock. COmrade Roots was an excel
lent soldier, a gentleman OF marked business
ability and loyal member of the Grand Army

Attention is called to the fact that the tomb
of Abraham Lincoln, at Springfield, H.. is in
such condition as TO require $50, 900 to put it in
proper repair, and that meetings of citizens are
being called with view to raising the money
for that purpose by subscription.
The Commander-in- Chief fully agrees with
the opinion well expressed by one of the
GAR Posts, that the tomb of Lincoln, and
the tombs of all the Presidents of the United
States, should be cared for by the American
people, and that the Congress of the United
States should provide to have this done from
now, henceforth and forever.
By command of A. B. WEIssERT, Commander
in-Chief.
