Dear Sir.
1 take this occasion to write you and express onr great approval of the accommodations as well as the enter
tainment which you were so active in having for us at our lato couvention. I heard it estimated that Alliance had
taken oaro of almost twelve thousand visitors during the week. I know of no city in our section of the country ex
cepting Alliance that could do this.
AsHuring you that the Nebraska Stock Growers appreciate your efforts in our behalf, I remain,
Yours truly, CILAS. C. JAMESON, Sec'y-Treas.
JOHN A. JONES, Sheriff

To the County Commissioners and Clerks of Nebraska:
Gentlemen : I have just learned that the Commercial Club of the city of Alliance is extending to you an invita
tion to hold your next annual convention in their city, and because of the splendid treatment accorded to the Nebras-.
ka Sheriffs Convention by the Commercial Club and the entire population of Alliance and vicinity last June, I feel it
a duty, arid it is certainly a pleasure, to tell you that the city of Alliance has ample facilities to accommodate your
convention, and its Commercial Club and people generally have and manifest an extraordinary measure of that gen
erous hospitality, public spirit and good fellowship that makes such a convention a success and attendance thereat a
pleasure
They certainly treated the Nebraska Sheriffs royally, not only making sure that we had the best of accommo
dations, but furnishing us with abundance of entertainment and amusements ranging from auto trips to places of in
terest, through wild west fete days, street carnivals, polo games and band concerts.
Our convention was never more cordially received nor better entertained and taken care of, and I can assure
you that Alliance iB a wide awake, up to date town, and a mighty good place for holding your convention.
Sincerely yours, JOHN A. JONES, President,
' Nebraska State Sheriffs' Assn.
