The Book Reception.

The Book reception given Monday night in the rooms of the Young Men's Club. was rather disappointing to the ladies who planned the entertainment, so far as numbers were concerned, al- though most enjoyable hour was spent by those who took part in the pleasures of the evening. The cordial hospitality of the Auxiliary Commit tee melted away all formalities, and the guests gave themselves up to topics of easy converse, while game of bill lizards held the attention of many who seemed fascinated by scientific per- formance with the cue between Mir. Louis Rolwage and Attorney John NJ. Prewett. A goodly number of books were contributed, the most lib eral contribution being that of the la dies, who gave circulating library consisting of about POO volumes. and d handsome case. THE TIMES was the next largest contributor, giving d book case containing about 50 volumes Other contributions probably amounted to twenty-five additional volumes. This is most satisfactory beginning aud the membership of the club are under deep and lasting obligations to the committee of ladies who arranged the reception. The gift of Mir. Louis Rollwage was perhaps one of the most appropriate-Harvey's English Gram mer. i,
 Several pictures were also contributed by friends. The pleasing and softened effect which these gifts gave the walls and general surroundings, was greatly appreciated.

Naming Children.

E-s
@ We feel sorry for those children
born during presidential campaign
whose parents are moved to name
their offspring after political candi-
dates. Twins that have just made
their irresponsible advent into this
wicked world at Lebanon, Pa, have
been dubbed, respectively, Mckinley
and Roosevelt. This is doubtless high
sly mplimentary to the Republican
candidates, but it is hardly considerate
of the babies, who will be compelled
for the balance of their lives to ad-
5vertise two men Of public note. Better
James and John, or Charles and
George, or any other plain given
names, which. joined to their. family
patronymic, may be made honorable
and even famous in the after years
without borrowing reflected light.
The good old fashion Of handing down
the names Of grandfather and father
to children and preserving the family
traditions is better than hanging on
the family tree the names OF the ma
ton 'ss statesmen and heroes whose
records in history will take care Of
their fame. Nashville Banner.
