Handsome premiums are offered for clubs.
This paper is owned, edited and publish

mightier than the sword, and when women

voted to one idea," but takes in all that
pertains to woman's welfare and happiness.
1t advocates every moral reform of the day,
holds up to view the social wrongs that
exist in society, aims to bring about a
state of equality between the sexes which
God and nature designed from the begin.
ming, and is characterized by high and
noble tone, which merits the support of all
lovers of humanity.
