CIRCULATING LIBRARIES.
The Popular Institution Has Been in TX

The Popular Institution Has Been in TX
istence for Hundreds OF Years.
From time immemorial, says All
the Year Round, booksellers shops
have been the favorite resort of all
touched with the love of letters, and
in the days gone by, when the art of
advertising was practically unknown,
it was only by frequenting the shops
where books were sold that possible
purchasers were able to learn what
was going on in the printing world,
to know what new books were
in course of publication and to
hear and exchange the latest literary
gossip. These early book lovers,
one may be quite sure, would be
certain to while away many q leisure
hour by "sampling' the wares on
their hosts counters, and would
read, or at least dip into, many vol.
umes besides those they actually
purchased for more leisurely con.
sumption at home. And hence might
arise, very naturally. the custom of
formally lending out books to read
for monetary consideration. Thus,
at the end OF Kirkman's "Thracian
Wonder" published in 1861.
the bookseller makes the fol-
lowing announcement: IF any
gentleman please to repair
to my house aforesaid they may be
furnished with all manner of English
or French histories, romances or
poetry, which are to be sold or read
for reasonable consideration. 1t is
not quite clear from the last few
words whether the books might be
taken away to be read, or whether the
reading was to be done in the book
sellers shop. But that books might
be taken home is evident from
the remark of a character in
Nevill's Poor Scholar" printed in
1862 "Step to a booksellers. " he
saws, land give him this angel.

SOUTHERN FARMERS Manu-

readers a more attractive New Years
gift than the following reports from
Southern bankers showing that the
whole ecoromic policy Of Southern
farm interests is undergoing a change
and the credit system is being super
seded by q cash basis. The low price
of cotton for the last few years forced
upon farmers the necessity OF raising
their own foodstuffs, and added to this
was the decision OF bankers and factors
to advance much less money on cotton
than formerly. The result has been q
change that for the time being. while
passing from the credit system with it's
liberal buying to cash system requir-
ing the closest economy, there has been
less trade with farmers. and hence q
decreased volume of general business
In the South. But this has brought
about a more solid condition of the
business interests dependent upon farm
trade throughout the South than we
have had for many years Merchants
are carrying small stocks and buying
only as needed; farmers are paying of
their debts to such an extent that

sold their homes and gone within tho

their places advertised for sale. They
sell for any price the place will bring.
At a meeting held in the Tabernacle
last night the elders called upon all
those present to donate what they
could OF their personal effects to cdu-
cate the heather. They were told
that the end was near and reminded
they could not take their worldly goods.
Over three thousand persons attended
the meeting, and excitement ran high
One old man said that he would give
his house and lot, worth $1,000. This,
he said, was all that he had 80 give.
This opened the hearts of the rest of the
congregation, and when the meeting

instructed the jury that it was to judg

that it was not judge OF the law UNI
it was fully satisfied that it know MOI

An outrageous verdict was brought
in, contrary to all instructions of the
