Too Many Of Them In This
City.
ARE THE GIRLS TO BLAME?
This is Leap Year and Time
for a Change.

This Is Leap Year and Time
for a Change.
This is leap year and already |
two months gone and not one OF
the confirmed bachelors in which
this city abounds has been taken
by the hand and lead to the altar |
by any of the young ladies Of the
town. To q woman Of mature
years We are indebted for this
piece Of information-within the
portals Of our city there are today
148 bachelors who have time after
time had the chance to enter that
blessed state, matrimony.
The object Of this paper is to be
of benefit to the community and,
as the lady suggested, the Free
Press is going to do its utmost to
bring about change in the present
unnatural condition.
Girls. it is your fault that souls
do not take possession Of each
other. Why be timid, why let
this, the chance of lifetime for
some Of you, go by? 1t is easy to
deceive a man. Don't despair
over former campaigns! Back to
the rouge pot, put the bloom OF
the rose upon thy withered cheeks
and show to the hard.hearted
bachelors of this town the girlish
charm, the luxury of feminine
beauty in which our little city
abounds.
Below we give list of close to
. couple Of dozen of the opposite
seq. Here are men who are worth
while. Set yourself to this task
and the hardest problem viii re-
suit in the greatest pleasure. In
after days they may caress your
hair and whisper tenderly, "How
you have suffered!'
