Truly it is astounding that anyone can be in favor of our women mixing up with the kinds of people that are always to be found around the ballot box. – [Tuskaloosa Gazette] VALUE OF A PURE HOME There is nothing on earth for which one ought to be more thankful than for having been brought up in the atmosphere of a pure home.
