The Centennial paper mill fired up |
the middle of last week and every |
thing seemed all ready for business. |
This will make quito an addition to
the manufacturing industries of our
city, and now once i'll proper manage
ment no doubt it will be prosperous
industry. The place seemed to be
''hoo dooedh for the past twenty-five
years, but under the present manage
ment it will prove highly successful.
At the Curbstonc Club meeting n
lively debate took place over the ques-
ton, "Should Women Vote. Some
believed and argued that women Mt
the polls would only render present
conditions moro perpleXing and put
the mon away hack in the dark ages
of the past; or, i'll other words, to
compel the men to take hack seat
Others held TINT women should have
the snme freedom and rights as men
and the same responsibility. The
committee called upon me to decide
the question in an honest and impair

works for 20 cents week can reach
their stomach with grain of satisfne

are out gathering up II little bit of
local scandal or church news. Every
thing is better and purer and sweeter
where woman dwolIs and shares
equally the joys and sorrows and
trials of life. Men are mean crit

should be allowed to vote. Women
are not world-destroyers, mankillers,
club pcrsuaders nor imps of the dark
ages; they remain the Same loving
mothers they have over been.

Without touching his handle bars
