conveniently located for the use of the mem
! beers, which will be fitted up with library,
reading, smoking and billiard rooms, parlor,
gymnasium and bath rooms. 1t is intended as
place where the young men of the town can
spend their evenings with profit and enjoy
ment 1t should receive the encouragement of
every right-thinking Christian person.
1t has been found that young men who come
here as strangers and find employment have no
place at which to spend their evenings. AS
consequence they grow weary of place where
| il is all work and no play and seek a more
agreeable locality. Human beings are, for the
most part, sociable and gregarious in their
habits, and the association proposes to offer
pleasant place, where strangers can meet, be-
come acquainted and enjoy themselves in ra-
tional way.
