Qua LIBRARY.


Emporia has free city library. To
those who have taken the pains 10 in
form themselves and who have been
aVailing themselves of the advantages
which this library affords, the statement
may seem useless and idle. We have
discovered, however. that there are per-
sons who do not know that the library
Is absolutely free To all proper persons;
that there are those who do not know
where the library is. and perhaps some
who do not ever know that such val
liable commodity exists. In October the
city took charge of & library turned
over BY the ladies who had originated
It, and had on hand a large number of
books, IN themselves forming a valuable
library and being a nucleus tor what we
believe will eventually be collection in
which any city would take pride
These books were placed in a room in
the Holderman block on the corner of
Sixth and Commercial, over the First
National bank, the entrance being from
Sixth Avenue. About 800 books suitable
for general circulation were in
the number transferred as above
mentioned. To these the lslies
have since added about 200 books and
have yet $50 to expend to complete their
part of the agreement There have also
been added nearly 500 books of refer.
nce,' making now, in all, library of
about 1900 volumes. The room las
also, since been opened at the present
place as a city library, being provided
with increased shelving capacity so that
the books are all properly cared for.
The large number of periodicals,
including weekly and daily papers
have been provided with racks and
tables and properly filed the large map
OF the United States presented by Mrs.
Senator Plumb, has been mounted; aud

are in general circulation, when all in,

library, but the empty condition OF many
of these shelves ~ most times is
indicative of the large number

The regular meeting of the county
Horticultural society was held at the
court house, 90 Wednesday the 25th
inst, and was called To order sy Presl-
dent j. 81. Dole. The newly elected
secretary w. H. Mills assumed the duties
of the office, which will. We have good
reason to believe, be we'll and faithfully
discharged. The list of standing com.
miltees were announced, and confirmed
as follows:
Executive Communicable president,
secretary and treasurer. ]. Il. Dole, VIM.
Hoilingsworth and W. H. Mills.

Flowers-Mrs. j. g. Traylor, Mrs. W
w. Scott and Chas. II. Hallberg.
Silk Culture-I. Horner, with power
To select his assistants.
The time beng short, only a brief dis
cussion was had on the apple question,
the general conclusion being that nc
matter which one, Ben Davis or Missouri
Pippin, one planted he would hardly GO
amiss, there being so little difference be-
tween them. The Ben Davis now is
more popular, probably from being older
and better known, but the chances are
that when the Missouri pippIn is under
cultivation as many years it will posi-
bly, be the more popular kind, since il
bears younger, Is more highly colored
and of better quality.
Grape pruning was selected as the
topic for discussion at the next meeting
The executive committee was instructed
TO consider and present q program fol
the series of meetings during the whole
year, for consideration at the next meet.
ing. 1t was agreed to renew the prem.
lums on apples, as has been done for the
past three years, to be shown at the FIRST
meeting in March as follsws. $1.00 fol
best, 90 cents for second best and % cents
for third best displays OF apples. The
purpose OF this display is to test as far
as possible the merits of the various
kinds of winter apples for keeping until
spring A similar series OF premiumt
will be given on potatoes at the AprIl
meeting.
