The favorable attention of the citizens of the
town is cordially invited to both the above eff
forts to increase our knowledge and love Of
/ the useful and the beautiful.
A rich country town containing d fiourshine
village is without excuse if its farming is blum
dering and slovenly, its grounds numbered with
refuse trash, decaying timber and vegetation
without hedges, flowers, Or ornamental trees
| its buildings dls6gured by want of symmetry
and bare of all ornaments, its fruit all inn
ported from more enterprising regions, and its
sons and daughters posted in everything else
rather than in those things which constitute
the glory and the comforts of its own climate
and soil.
The Library will be open for inspection and
use within fortnight, and it is hoped that al
who love knowledge and improvement, and
all possessed with town pride will interest
themselves in attending the meetings of the
Association and Club, and if the object.
and method meet their appreciation
join their names in adding to their useful
ness and attractiveness."
