   The Fourth to be celebrated at Iola.
                             Iola, June 6th, 1860
FRIEND THACHER: The citizens of Allen county propose
celebrating the Glorious Fourth in the "good old way,"
at Iola, and we would extend a general invitation to 
the good people of Kansas and "the rest of mankind" to
come and enjoy it with us. You can count on a tip-top
oration, fine music, toasts, speeches, &c. Those blessed
with appetites will have a good opportunity to gratify
to the extent of their corporosity. The 'great ox of
course is to be roasted,' and the ladies will furnish
a table adapted to the occasion. The whole affair is 
to be conducted by the bachelors, kindly assisted by
the ladies. By the way, Allen county will show on that
occasion prettier girls, and more of them, than can be
found in any other interior county in the Territory.
Come one, come all! Bring your families, you that have
them; you  that have none, do the next best thing.
The thing is free--free as our own prairie winds.
                  Yours,  
                                C. P. TWISS,
                       By request of Committee
