The Comet offers a girl to Florence institute for a year
A promotional contest by The Comet will pay all expenses for a district girl to study one year or two terms at the Southern Female Institute in Florence Alabama beginning September 15 1892. Voters select a white district girl by coupon with weekly publication and a final August 1 deadline. The appeal also markets Wisconsin land via the Wisconsin Central Lines and lists Mardi Gras rail offers from Queen and Crescent and Louisville Southern.
