Who wants to dispose of a nice
little pony? Answer at the Torch
of Reason Office.
Beautiful weather again, and the
building of our Freethought school
goes merrily on.
There is another large delegation
of Wisconsonites which will arrive
in Silverton soon.
Rain has delayed our work dur­
ing the past week but now the
weather is delightful, and fifteen
men make the Liberal University
building grow.
Freethinkers desiring to hold
stock in the Liberal University Cor­
poration should send in their names
at once, before the stock books are
closed. Sign the blank on this page
and send as directed.
The editor’s mother and two sis­
ters, with their families, have ar­
rived in Silverton from Wisconsin
since our last issue, and are well
pleased with our country, and will
make Silverton their home.
Liberal Hall’s seating capacity
ought to be crowded on Sunday ev­
ening, October 1, when Mr. Wake­
man delivers his first address to
the students of the Liberal Univer­
sity and the citizens of Silverton.
Miss Alice Davenport, sister of
the cartoonist, Homer Davenport,
has been employed as teacher of
stenography and typewriting in the
Liberal University. She is now
busily engaged in our private office.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We hope to have the roof on the
University building before the next
issue of the Torch reaches its read­
ers.
Just as we go to press we learn
of the wedding <>f the Freethought
poetess, Miss Grace E. Gruber, of
Brockton, Mass., to Mr. A. W. Dell-
quest, formerly of El Paso, Texas.
After a year or so spent in travel­
ing at home and abroad, Mr. and
Mrs. Dellquest will make their home
in Norfolk, Va. The Torch of Rea­
son extends hearty congratulations
and predicts a prosperous and
happy life for the two contracting
parties.
