 We want a library of books here, but are not expecting much now about one until year from now, when the January town meeting takes up it's postponed business. In the meantime it should be noted down that a library of 1000 books can be put in circula- tion for $2,500. A well bound book can be bought for $2.50 and this would make 1000 cost the above sum- There are 2,50O people in this town who can pay in $1 apiece to raise $2,500 and get 1000 books. The Journal and Courier man is willing and eager to be one of an active committee to receive money. Twenty-Five men who will send their names to the Courier" favoring the above plan will be thanked by the Journal and Courier" man and he will start in at once and work on the above plan. The whole thing can be done without much fuss and people in all the walks of life will be asked to con- tribute and the reading in the books will be just what all the people want. No book will be put into the collection until it is judged by all the contribu- tors.
 This town has a good staff of re- porters and they ought to form club where they can meet each other and also friends The Meriden Journal has a good natured man at work for it who likes to keep copies of the Journal on file and wants to have the Southington items read readable. He is well known here and in Meriden and elsewhere. His name is John Moran and his home is on South Main street, Plantsville. He is something like the Journal and Courier" man, Thomas Duncan, a man who likes the people so we'll that he wants them to be satisfied with what he writes after he goes to all the bother he does to get the reading for them. The Journal and Courier man will be spoken of again, this being penned by ihim. The New Haven Leader Is repre- scented by Jerry Kennyon and when you meet him and talk with him you will find that he is a good business man and that he likes news and news papers and is man that should meet with hearty public favor so that he can make that Southington column sought for each day. He was formerly manager of the Southington Baseball club.
 Ralph Ives, whose father was post master at Plantsville, has the Hartford Courant and he wants the public to help him.
 The Hartford Post has for it's cor respondent Mr. Hayne, a former Hart ford man, and being young man he likes to have his column full of life.
 The Journal and Courier" man, who has been mentioned before, is about like the rest of the four, who with him in it make up Southington's five correspondents and with ME' Newell and MT. Holden of the Phoenix this borough should be able to go to bed nights thankful for the morning ito come and waiting for it. If New Haven can stand this all of us news paper men hope the Courier" will | print 1t, the writer speaking up for him. self and the rest.
