READING ROOM.


We are glad that our citizens are NOV
ing for a reading room. There is meet
ing, on, the subject this evening at the
Board of Trade rooms. We hope to see a
large attendance. Especially let the young
men be present and the older ones too.
Nothing would do more to add character
to our city than well established and well
conducted reading room. 1t is very easy for
us to have it if We only think so. It will
take some means to start it, but for so laud-
able purpose the means should not be
wanting. There are at least twenty men
in Knoxville who ought to be willing
to contribute fifty dollars each during the
first year, for the purpose of keeping up
such an institution. There are at least
twenty others who could pay twenty-five
dollars each for such purpose and never
miss it. Then there are hundred who
could pay smaller sums without inconven-
fence. This would make it most mag
nificent success, and the city would have
cause to feel proud of the achievement.
Its influences would soon become percepti-
BILE on the community.
We do not Eknow what plan of ope-
rations will be adopted, but We trust there
will be full meeting this evening and
that Knoxville will soon have first class
reading room.
