ance OF $500 VIII come up in court in Jackson
vile this morning. Saturdays Herald SAYS:
About year ago the library borrowed for
necessary improvements some 1880 from TIE
First National Bank, Joseph NJ. Schumacher
President. For this note was given signed
by the entirely responsible names of the Di-
rectors. Ihls note has been once
or twice renewed. During the time OF
its continuance the Directors and Ladies
Auxiliary Society of the Library have made
heroic efforts IN its behalf, and have succeed
ed IN putting some handsome improvements
and additional books in the building. Be
sides this, they have steadily and
vigorously reduced the debt to the First Ma
tiOnal Bank until there remained only $500
due. About this time the bank began to be
pressing, and the directors earnestly consult
ed as 10 the best means OF meeting its de-
mands. 1t was determined to issue eight
bonds of 500 each for the payment of the
debt. This was done, but before it was COM
pleted, the bank, through it's attorneys. sued
the library for the remaining $500. There are
now $500 of this in the hands of Mr.. Schu-
macher. Col. Burbrldge went this morning
or yesterday with 500 the shle Of two other
bonds and prO1ered it to the bank, which re-

and Indignation that the bank should have
pressed the Library to the wdll when it was
faithfully and successfully trfing to raise the
money demanded. AS a matoer of fact. $500
Of the $500 due is now in hand ready to be paid
over, and there only remains $500 due, which
