All persons who are in accord with the prohibition party will be welcomed to seats in the convention.

Let no county be unrepresented; but let the friends exert them selves to secure large delegations from their respective localities. 'A reduction of one third, on return tickets, has been secured on all railroads, for those at tending the convention. But, in order to secure this reduction, each person on purchasing a ticket must obtain from the agent a certificate that lie has paid full fare to the convention, which will entitle him to one third return fare. This Condition is imperative. There should be, from five to ten delegates from each county the more the better.

There will be a grand rally in the even ing, with" gdod mdsic and good speakers. It should not be forgotten that the prohibition party recognises women as citizens. We hope to bp with a large representation of ladies. Come, one and all, and let us have a rally, and a good lime, grand By order of the State Central Com- mittee. A.
