to have the former pastors Of the
church present. The church was or
ganized January 81, 1858, by Rev. Geo.

Jefferson.
The Jefferson Public Library is not
going to travel on its uppers as re-
CARDS finance, says the Bee. The two
mill tax levied for its support and as
sessed in thu. year 1901 yields the tidy
sum of SS2E.So, which will pay the
running expenses and leave several
hundred dollars to be spent in library
improvement, new books, etc. If this
rate of assessment is continued the
city will in a few years have a library
which will be a source of pride and
value almost past estimating.
