MADISON NOTES.

week for the benefit of the Madison LII
brary association, at the residence OF

full and pleasant that an effort is being

then in some other way that VIII be
equally as pleasant and successful 1t IS
expected that the next one will be held
at Mrs. Nash's on the Green. The pro-
ceeds, which amounted to little over
eighty dollars, will be of great help to
the library at this time, as during the
summer months a large number OF the
cottage people patronize the society," not
only by reading the books, but by sub
stantial gifts and money. The society
are very grateful to Mrs. Wilcox for her
substantial efforts and success for this
fine entertainment given under her SUI
pervision.
