NEW TRUSTEES DECIDE TO
REVIVE SMYRNA LIBRARY
MEETING OF BOARD OF TRUSTEER YESTER,
DAY AFTERNOON AN IMPORTANT ONE.
Constant Supply Of New Books all the Year
Around Provided For - Public School
Students Given Special Privileges.

An important meeting of the Board
OF Trustees of the old Smyrna Library
" as held yesterday afternoon and its
results will, it is hoped, arouse new
and active interest in that worthy in
stitutiOn. Arrangements were made
which will provide constant supply
of new books all the year round. Some
OF them are expected to arrive very
soon, and fresh volumes will appear
from time to time. This is not a mere
temporary arrangement, but is ex-
pected to continue in the future. The
necessity for the numerous Book
Clubs will disappear, and perhaps. as
not only recent works but the entire
fine collection OF standard volumes
can be had at no greater cost than the
small club charge, which is usually
Sl.OO per year their members NAV
now give their valuable support to the
peoples old and well proved friend.
In order to extend, as far as Just now
'SSAA0 PA"OIlOdplC, lut use OF the LII
brary to the schools, the following
amendment to the Bylaws was adop-
ted, viz
Pupils Of the High School departnart
and teachers of all departments in the IN
corporated Public Schools of SMYRNA may
without charge, use the Library for pur--
poses of reference, but no books NAV he
removed from the Library Room.
The first Friday of each month was
fixed as the date for regular meetings
of the Trustees. The Board resolved
themselves into a committee of the
whole to secure d1tnu0l subscribers TO
the Library. For stockholders the
annual fee is one dollar, and for those
who do not own stock, yet do not care
to pay more than $1OO, any friend can
grant the use of share of stock, which
] secures the same low rate. For this
/ purpose a large block of stock will he
/ placed in the Librarians hands for
use by applicants. Those who desire
to purchase stock can obtain it bv ex-
pressing their wish to any of the
Board, and later on an effort will be
made to secure the sale of number of
shares for the purpose of strengthen
ing the collection Of standard works.
Just now, however, the pressing need
IS for annual subscriptions-t they are
needed at once and plenty of them,
and value full and running over is Of
fered for them. The Librarian or any
one Of the Trustees will receive them
with thanks. With your ancient
friend-the "Library"-we know you
will be glad to taste cup of kind
ness yet for Auld Lang Syne."

DULL SUNDAYS ON SMYRNA CIRCUIT.
Continued Rainy Sundays Has Caused Pastor
George l.. tiardesty Much Concern.

Rev. d. g. L. Hardesty, pastor of
Smyrna Circuit, will go to Conference
this year with his collections far short
of the apportionment. He has been
singularly unfortunate this winter on
accoHnt of rainy weather and bad
roads. In fact, he says he has not
had a clear Sunday on the Circuit
since the twenty third day of Novem-
ber, and the congregations at Friend
ship M. E. Church in Thoroughfare
Neck and Severson's NJ. E, Church in
Severson's Neck have been unusually
slim. For this reason it has been hard
to get up collections. Jerman Chapel
at "Spruance City," is about the only
charge that has not been effected by
the rainy spell.

ANOTHER GOOD ROADS BILL PRESENTED.
The Sixth Instrument lntrOduced'in the Legis.
Iature During the Recent Session.

Another good roads bill has been
introduced in the Legislature, the
sixth of the present session. Surely
our citizens may expect something
from this lot. In the House, Friday,
Mr.. Newton introduced another good
roads bill. 1t is diffe1en from the
others, because the Levy Court com
missioners of each county are author
lied to supervise expenditures of the
money for the roads in his own
district. Each district will receive
81, 900 from the State, provided that
the district raises $500. A yearly
appropriation of $25, 900 will be granted
by the State for this purpose.
