purposes for the purpose OF holding fairs
in the interest OF agriculture, and OF Sc
curing the advantages of cooperation in
all matters affecting their interests and
mutual Improvement as agriculturists."

Under this charter grounds were pur-
chased in Fairfax county. and upon them
suitable buildings erected, and several
fairs conducted by the Grange Camp AS

Editor of Wdtchman:-Whe I read the

OF February 49, l at once thought this is an
offer that every unprejudiced stakeholder
or contributor to the Montpelier Public Ii.
brary will cheerfully accede to. But find
1 was wrong In my surmise.
1t Is clai ned that our library will be
placed under the control Of a society that
prescribes the theological status OF its
membership" etc. / take exception to that
statement from the fact that the Montpelier
Publ Library will still remain under the
same control as now, the Young Mems
Christian Association simply being custo-
dams. Then again, 1t Is said, 1t will be
farther away from the center Of business
activity. The prese at location of the Young
Mems Christian Asso ,iation rooms is one
minute farther from the corner Of Main and
State streets than the present location of
the lib .ary. Well, these odd minutes in
lifetime make hours, days and months,
and will admit the point well taken when
the present location of the Young Mems
Christian Associ alton rooms is considered I;
but when the association has home OF it's
own, which 1t will surely have and that,
too, very soon, who can tell which will be
the nearer to the center OF business activ-
ity2
The remaining objections are all answered
when I repeat that the Montpelier Public
Library, should it decide to accept the
proposition, will still retain its present or
ganization, be its own judge OF what books
shall be upon the shelves, the hours it
shall be open to the public, etc. But how
would it fare under the control of q
close corporation like the Kellogg Hubbard

time of the settlement, the attorneys for the
