of his life. Being married at the age

His long illness began last January;

Monday evening, at a meeting an
n"nnced for that purpose, the Com
miiIee on membership reported the
names Of some forty persons who had
given their names, with prospect of
considerably increasing that number.
An actual membership thus assured,
the election of officers, under the con-
stitution previously adopted, was pro-
cecded with. Messr-. VIM. Gilmore,
G. :. Hicks and J. J. Johnson were
elected Directors-u whom the
entire eNective management is devolv-
ed-anl L. NJ. Brink, Secretary. The
offices are thus filled until the regular
annual meeting next fall.
As to the course to be adopted for
setting the enterprise into active OPP
Grafton, we are not fully informed as
yet. We believe, however, that there
will be no immediate attempt to open
reading room. As soon as the work
Of securing members for the organiza-
ton can be completed, (and just now
every one who will do so is earnestly
requested to give his or her name and
aid ny joining the Association, the
Directors will be ready to send for a
large selection of new books, when the
Library will be at once opened and
placed under careful charge SO that all
may enjoy its benefits. With the ar
rival of the long winter evenings it is
hoped the original feature of Il pleas
ant reading room may be added. In
any ease there will be every oppor-
tunity for any one who cares for good
reading to receive to himself full pay
for all he can invest a. a member OF
this Association, to say nothing of
the general advantages from good

| the ADVERTISER will observe that
instead Of their names being penciled
on the margin of the paper in the old
way, they are now plainly printed by
| the use of a cunningly devised ma
chine known as mailer" This is
| an improvement and convenience, not
only greatly lessening the time and
labor required To make up' mails,
but also avoiding the mistakes incl
dent to bad writing and absolutely
ending the occasional missing Of a
name which would occur under the
old plan.
.Anotller important feature to which
we desire especially to call the atten-
ton OF subscribers, is the fact that the
,lsttc ~ mhich eoch subscription is paid
will accompany the name ON each pa
per. Those cabaliStic appearing"
figures and letters are simple enough.
The first figure, or figures, indicates
the day of the month, the intervening
letters the month ard the concluding
figure the year, 10 which the person
to whose name they are appended has
paid for his paper. Thus-ljan7 rep
