NEWBURY

select therefrOm Such as we Wish TO Go
nate to the new library. If all our PEG
pie at home and abroad, who are inter
ested in the TenneY Library and in the
welfare of Newbury would send jus
one book the aggregate will make Ii
brary of itself. There are many who
can and will spare more than one boob
to this good cause. All books donated
will be labeled with the donors name
If persons living away from Newbury
desire to make donations of books they
can be forwarded by freight to Rev. j.
L. Merrill, president of board of trus-
tees; or to Miss Frances Atkinson, Ii
brarian; or to Horace W. Bailey, chair
man of executive committee. All such
donations will be acknowledged through
the Newbury column in the OPINION,
and the last named library official will
personally attend to the payment of
freight bills not prepaid. Give us a
helping hand. After such magnifi-
cent gift by Miss Tenney, we do not
believe friends at home or abroad will
see the library suffer for reading mater
ial or financial support.
