public libraries is at Buck.port. founded by the
widow and daughter of the late X. Z. Buck.
Before its existence and in fact since 1906,
there has been library association in the vii
lage; and for 30 years or more brother OF
Mr.. Buck cared for the volumes In an Office In
his store. Since then. and before, other gen.
tlemen have been found who were willing to
devote much time to the work without pay.
The present librarian has given five months
work. averaging five hours per day, and now
opens the library and cares for the books free
OF all expense TO the town. The townspeOple

expenses with the interest, and 1t is by no
means certain she has not done so. ~ the terms
of the will have not been made public. In the
