Birmingham age-herald., 1895-05-09

the ladies as body seemed to feel that the moment for action had arrived and were fully aroused to the importance of the occa sion. This is a movement in which the ladies of Birmingham should be ONE. for 'in unity there is strength.
 Not being a. member of the ladies aux Hilary, I may properly have no voice in :he matter, but would like to make one suggestion. Let your committees be thoroughly congenial-then there will b. unity of action. The success of any movement depends upon the harmony of it's members. Suppose each committee consist of two ladies and one gentleman. As the commercial club has so kindly proffered it's valuable assistance, I do not think they will feel that it will be any infringement upon their time or en- ergies. I beg pardon if this suggestion is an impertinence or an intrusion, but the thought came to me from General Rhodes idea of committee of three. It is earnestly requested that all our ladies show their interest by a full attendance at the next meeting, and by cooperation stand shoulder to shoulder in move ment worthy of the women of Alabama. Mrs. Martin. the able president of the ladies' auxiliary. is woman of great dignity, character and self-reliance. Un- der such leadership success is assured.
