THEY WHO MOULD RE FREE.

No reform, moral or intellectual, ever
came from the upper class of society.
Each and all came from the protest of
martyr and victim. The emancipation of
the working people must be achieved by
the working people themselves WendeU

We wish to state to the good people Of
Las veg.s and yicinii y, that the means 10
build the Sanitarium have been provided
for, but we are without means TO furnish
the building. We rave concluded, there
fore, to hold a fair during Thanksgiving
week, TO raise funds with which 10 furnish
tue building. We IRE dependent on the
generosity OF the public to accomplish this
purpose; and desire to state that we do cot
expect TO get the necessary amount BY
large donations, but by the mite IRON Tie
many. Hence, we hope that none will re-
fuse to assist us. This is a pub q ~instiLu-
ton by which all will be beneited. and In
which all should feel an interest.
