MRS. NJ. L. WELLS FREsIDING.
We clip this fromthe Signals &C
count of the Indiana w. G. T. U.
State Convention:
Mrs, Wells is an exceptionally
fine presiding officer, well-polsed,
genial, and mistress Of the situa-
zion; three of her five years exper-
fence having been in I.ndiana, she
can not now be claimed as an Him
OILS woman. In a few days she goes
for months work to her native
State of West Virginia Many
years ago when she graduated there
the papers said, "She was not heard,
her voice being weak, but that is
after all, good fault in woman."
Now she has one of the strongest
voices in our ranks and one OF the
most womanly as well.

The w. G. T. u. editor is Wom-

With the oversight of the State
work as Vice President, and a large
correspondence grown out of that
work that must receive prompt at
tention-the special local work in
cident to the coming Convention
the cares of house-keeper and
mother--these would to any rea
sonable mind be ample excuse for
meagre w. G. T. U. Department

There is limit to the strength

Asking the forbearance of our

ing our Conventions, we promise
better things the ling week.

away from home, than is West Vir-
ginia. The FREEMAN is power
