QUITS FOR THE SEASON
Close After a Short But Ex
citing Series and With a
Good Record

At a meeting Of the Smyrna Baseball
Association Is was unanimously decided
TO dlsband for the season. This matter
was definitely decided owing to the in
ability of the management TO arrange
games with Dover, which has also dis
banded for the season. outside of Dover
there a. little or no enthusiasm, and
since no other nearby towns Of the state
have organized clubs. Il was thought well
TO follow Dover's example and break up
for the season. For tse management to
continue several weeks longer would only
be involving them IN debt without any
necessity for g. The team, however. will
play at Dover on Saturday. according "a
agreement. and will put up strone
game.
After this, whatever games are played
will be done by the local baseball players
The season has developed some good loca
players and as the management has th'
grounds leased until October, there ma,
be some interesting games.

IAB1RD INN LIBRARY.

The Old Tabard Inn at Southwark,
England, was made famous by Chau-
Ger in his Canterbury Tales, in the
dawn of English literature. The name
is given by the Booklovers' Library to
"the very newest thing in circulating
libraries. -
The Booklovers is the largest circu-
lating library in the world. 1t is a
corporation with paid up capital of
over 81, 500, 900. 1t is the largest buyer
of books in the world. 1t delivers
over 5000, 200 books annually to its
members. The Tabard Inn brings it's
books to centrally placed stations
where exchanges may be made. A re-
volving bookcase of a quaint Tabard
Inn design holds the books.
The membership fee, So. 90, secures
the privilege of the library for life.
Or an annual membership fee of 81. 80
may be paid.
There is an additional fee of five
cents for the exchange of books. Six
exchange tickets are sold for twenty
five cents, or twenty-five for one dol
lar. The life membership is transfer
rable.
Having become member, a Tabard
Inn book is the only Identification

member has simply to place one book
on the shelf and take down another
and drop his ticket into the slot in the
bookcase The book can be carl
ried anywhere and exchanged any
where. Two hundred thousand of
the newest and best books have al
ready been put into the Tabard Inn
service. Members have exactly the
same privileges at any library in the
entire system which they have in the
station at which they joined.
The Tabard Inn circulates only new
books, the best that can be bought, in
the best bindings, and as soon as they
are published They are. given the
Tabard Inn uniform and are always
fresh and clean and in the best repair.
Upon its bookshelves are the latest. and
best publications in fiction, science,
philosophy, literature, biography and
travel. All the details of management
and admission are planned for the
convenience and pleasure of the guests
of the Inn.
Miss Evelyn Lease is entrusted with
the business of securing members for
the proposed station in this city and
in the event of obtaining the requisite
membership would have charge of the
local station. The Journal commends
Miss Leases efforts to the interested
attention of the people of Montpelier.

GIFT TO B1PTIST CHURCH.

The First Baptist church is the first
in this city to adopt the individual
communion idea and on Sunday the
church was the recipient of valu-
able individual communion set through
the generosity of Deacon George Good
win and family. The set consists of
1870 glasses, three silver bases and
tops, and silver filler. 1t will be
suitably engraved. The gift is one
that will always be highly priced by
the church, coming as it does from
family that has been so long and
closely identified with it, Deacon
Goodwin sons, Norman. of San
Francisco, and Wallace, who is also
away from home, joined with the
other members of the family in the
generous gift. Deacon Goodwin
wonderful devotion to his church is
evidenced by the fact that during the
more than twenty years since he
became "A deacon, he has missed but
one communion Sunday.
