CLOSING OUySALE
By reference to an advertisement in
another column, and also to posters
which have been issued, it will be seen
that our original pioneer merchant,
Henry Davis, is closing out his stock
at cost. Mr.. DIS health has been fail
ing for some time and he wishes to
take a rest. He has $4,000 stock
which will be sold ut cost for cash, and
affords good opportunity to parties
to secure their winter clothing, etc.
Mr.. Davis is the only original pio'
neer merchant left in W0rthington and
we shall regret to see him retire from
business, and hope he will not do so
altogether. lie began business here in
the fall and winter of 1912, when his
little store was one of \ half dozen
structures in the town. The railroad
did not reach here until the following
spring. Through all the grasshopper
and other drawbacks, Mr.. D. stood
firm when others failed, or fed, or
changed business. He has done well,
is we'll off, and we earnestly hope he
may recover what health he has lost
and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
PUBLIC LIBRARY:
Mr.. A. NJ. Winebrener, the agent of
the Chicago Library Company, is in
town this week for the purpose of Or
ganizing Library Association on the
"Caxton Plan,'' which is as follows:
On the basis of SO or more subscrib.
ers and $500 membership fee, a IL
brary will be placed here of standard
works of history, biography, poetry and
the better class of fiction. The books
are bound in cloth and become the
property of the association when the
library is opened. Catalogues, rules,

| place to keep the libr; ry and a libra
rian will be furnished by the Chicago
Library Go. at no additional expense to
the subscribers. No money'is collected
! until the books are hero in the hands
of some responsible citizen. Member
ship tickets are good for the entire
family and are also transferable.
AS good library is something that
every town needs, we hope that Mr..

library in Worthington that will be a
credit to the town and of permanent
benefit to our young people.
