The Tribune will enter upon the year 1888 with many new and commendable features of excellence, the weekly edition being largely increased in size and its scope widened to meet its growing field of circulation.

Kansas Republicans, and especially the old soldiers, will find in the Weekly Tribune a staunch friend and advocate. We take pleasure in recommending it as one of the very best of American family newspapers. Subscriptions will be received at thistflice.
