Mr.. Holway of Augusta accepts his nomi-

Waldo with him if he is able to do it, and he

The LIBRARY CATALOGUE. The complete
catalogue may be had at the Library for so
cents. 1t represents all the books in the
Library by author, subject and title index,
With the exception of additions since last
February The printing Of a catalogue in
wolves great deal of care, time and ex-
pense. The expense may be partially COM
pensated by liberal purchase of the cata-
logue by the community. The income from
the Library fund is not inexhaustible, and
the money spent in preparing catalogue
cannot be used in adding new books. When
the only expense incurred in gaining a
ready access to such collection of books as
our Library has upon its shelves, is the
small price of its printed catalogue. (Which
does not cover the cost it would seem that
all who can afford it should readily con-
tribute this much towards reimbursing the
Library for the amount expended.
