ard Obenchain will review "Woman With A Sword.” “Woman With A Sword” is the magnificent story of a lovely, courageous young lady who helped to save the Union from annihilation in the early days of the Civil War; the moving story of one of the great figures in American history yet one about whom Americans know nothing (and you will learn why). The ■dory is carried forward swiftly •1 a series of dramatic events, Anne Carroll’s growing love for ludge Evans, the role of Lincoln in her life, and her development of the Tennessee Plan, a brilliant piece of strategy which eventually cut the South in two. “Woman With A Sword" is one of those rare hooks which have everything, romance, drama, and behind it all. a brilliant historical background. RED CROSS REPORTS lions amounting to more than $70.00. The township’s quota is $75.00. Workers canvassing the town of Fillmore were the first to report from any of the towns in the county. Fillmore residents have subscribed $100.00 to date.
