Mr.. d. S. Mitchell, of Plainfeld.
brother of G. ?. Mitchell Of this city, is'in
the city with the idea of establishing a
station to the New Parmelee System OF
Travelling Library. The plan is practical
ly the same as that in vogue in Chicago
and other large cities; that is, a Central
Library is divided upinto sections ordivi-
sions aud sent to different parts Of the
city, but III this case, OF course, the Cent
al Library is the home office of the com
pany and the sections are placed at diff
ferent parts of the state.
Mr. Mitchell has furnished the editor a
catalogue OF the Central Library 1t
lists about 1000 books and comprises,
we believe, as complete and interesting a
set OF books as we have ever seen. Ger
tainly the character of the books is a.
he'd of anything that has ever been cir
culated in this part OF the country.
The day has gone by when it, is neces-
sary to tell an Intelligent community
that they need a library, this is granted;
the only question is, how can one be es-
tablished and maintainedo
We have tried the old plan, that is the
purchase of all the books we wanted,
and t has proven repeatedly a failure.
These 'oId'' libraries were, as rule, all
right for a few months but, as in about
a year it was necessary to purchase al
entire new line, this burdensome pur-
chase WAS never made and the old library
naturally died.
Under the travelling plan, of course,
but one Central Library reeds be pur-
chased and it will supply Il great many
towns; iii other words, TIL, cost to the
community for twenty libraries is not
more than one would be on the old plan.
II the station is established at this
town, OF course arrangement must be
made while Mr. Mitchell is here in order
that the exchange OF libraries may be
made with the other towns iii this com
munity which have already secured
them.

TO heredity, to the transmission of
traits from sire to son, we oWesmost OF the
possibilities of growth and development
If each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of @heredity the level
of life might be expected to be that of the
digger indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Pecu11arities
of feature, excentricities of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual dexter1ty,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. "A curious example of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair is hereditary III our family
AS long as / can recol1ect, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago.
my hair began to show signs Of turning.
I resolved to try Ayers Hair Vigor, and
after using it only few times my hair
was restored to its natural color ] still
use this dressing occasionally, bottle
lasting me quite while; and though over
forty years of age, my hair retains its
youthful color and fu1lness To all who
have faded and gray hair, would heartily
recommend DR.. Ayers Hair Vigor."-Mrs.
MAGGIE PICKETT, Canton, Ga.
There's no shame in gray Il air, but there
