as many persons in Evansville to take
an interest in the Library as there are
in Springfield, Mass, aud that the only
reason they do not take that interest is
because of the objection mentioned in

from this point it was deemed expedisnt
to recede to one dollar. The result has
proved the wisdom of the step. Fair
