Frs NEcEsSITY.-The existing temperance Jour
mails have little il any, circulation outside of the Tenn
perance Ranks. Their price almost necessarily re-
strcts them to tho friends OF the cause. The Pro
HIBIroNIsT is designed for circulation (instead OF
tracts) among the indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put at price so low as to enable
the friends Of temperance in every school district by
combined action and at an inconsiderable expense
to place copy in each tamily that will consent to re-
ceive it.
