Ellington surely Is q much favored
town as regards public library gifts. A
few weeks ago it was announced that {
Mrs. Mary Work Graham of Philadelphia
former resident, offered TO the town O
Ellington public library to be built a
her expense. And now another former
citizen steps forward and makes similar
offer. 1t seems from the very. first THU
Mrs. Graham had carefully inquired /
anyone else was thinking of erecting sucl
q memorial. So far as was then known
no steps had been taken, and she was as
sured that the field was clear. Now
seems a Mr.. Francis Hall of Elmira, N
Y. had been planning for several year
for the same thing. Mr.. Halls inten
lions were soon disclosed to the librar,
directors, who have since made the sam
known to Mrs. Graham, and she has yer,
kindly given way to him. AS mere sug
gestion, we would like to add tina
II this lady, who Is 80 benevolently in
clined, should be too greatly disappoint
| ed, she could erect small hall or me
mortal at Crystal Lake, which Is also II
her native town, and we know would b.
as duly appreciated.
