The Johnson City Library.

Public Library Reading Room Do
you know that there is such a room in
our city? Do you ever raise your eyes
high enough, or long enough, as you
pass down Market street to catch the
sign, "Public Library" below the sec
ond story window of the Hart build
ing? For four years it has been there.
In order to answer the query, SIS
there library in Johnson City?'
this article is written. 1t was q sur
prise to the workers in the library,
that such long established institution
should not have been better known
and they were glad to contribute this
article.
More than eight years ago n few pro-
gressive and energetic women deter
mined to establish permanent library
here; feeling confident that one day
the town would recognize the effort
and help make a large Public Library
out of the small beginning. They had
watched several circulating libraries
come and then disappear, but with
tirmness of purpose these women be.
gen their work. There was much talk
over the matter, some encouraged,
some opposed, some jeered and some
gave helping hand, but the band Of
workers kept on, with not more than Q
hundred books and ten monthly maya
zines, they opened the Library. Each
member of the Monday Club pledged
herself to give time and labor to The
enterprise and faithfully have they la
bored. Each yearly expense has beer
met and books added to those already
ON the shelves until now there are
now more than thousand volumes; il
addition there are four hundred Other
volumes which are to be sent out into
the mountains, as travelling Libraries
thus to brighten and enlighten Other
localities. Time, labor and money
have all gone into making this library
and for what purpose? Not surely tt
make Club Library, for small trav
cling Library is all the club needs, al
each member has her own home Ii
brary,
To make library where all may
come, read, consult and enjoy good
books is the object of the Johnson City
Library. 1t is the regret of the work
ers, that the small fee for taking ou'
books and magazines cannot be dis
pensed with, but this subscription fee
is paid by the workers, as we'll as the
subrcribers and it does not cover m ore
than halt the expense of running the
Library. To purchase books anG
magazines it is necessary to resort tc
entertainments and sales Of various
descriptions. There is no paid Ii
brarian as the funds in the Treasury
will not allow of such luxury, bu
each member of the Club assists thC
selected Librarian, in opening to tht
Public, the Library on the days ap
pointed. This necessity retards tn,
systematic order observed in Libraries

Win Lay Third Rail.

Gen. r. f. Hoke, president Of the
Il. 7, & W. N, @. railroad, is in the
city this week. His visit means great
things for Johnson City. He declares
that his company has determined to
lay third rail from johnson City to
Elixabethton in order to bring the
Virginia & Southwestern into this
city. This will solve the freight rate
problem for all time for our people.
The L. q N. is behind the V. & 8. W.
and this means that in o short time l..
& N. trains may run direct to johnson
City via Elizabethton. This third rail
movement is the cheapest and quickest
method of getting another road to this
city. The road bed was originally
graded for a standard gusge road and
all that is now required is one rail and
new ties and some trestles strength
ened. This can be done for less than
$4,000 aud, presto, johnson City ia
made a competitive freight point and
giving living rates. Let the good work
90 on,

struck our huge woodpile and over
turned and threw Dandy OF the stable

Cy Lyle makes the sage remark in
his johnson City COMET, that as the
supreme court decision is the law
therefore since the methods adopted
in the Harmon-Tyler election have
been declared lawful we see no reason
why the democrats cannot fill every of.
fee from congressman down." From
this it may be inferred that the failure
of Cy to get to congress was simply an
error of method. Knoxville Journal

Party Of Capitalists.

George L. Garter and a party OF
capitalists, composed of Evans r. Dick,

gladly welcoming all who will come
and enjoy the books; they are for you
all. Come and we will help you in
finding either information or pleasure.
The Library from time to time has
been the recipient of small gifts, lately
q book firm sent us several volumes,
but the year 1908 broadened the Lii
brary field by the town stepping for
ward and placing in the hands Of the
Public Library Commissioners small
sum of money to open Public Library
Reading Room. The Club gave up
their room and this reading room is
run in connection with the johnson
City Library. This room is gift of
the town to the people, but the people
seem slow to take advantage of their
gift. 1t has been opened at night and
it has been opened in the day. Dur
ing the summer an extra day was given
to keeping it open and now it has been
suggested to open it on Sunday after
noon for those men who cannot use il
on other days. Several articles have
been published in regai to this Read
ing Room but still the readers are few.
This is the first scattering of seed the
town has given, but he who did the
sowing years ago and who so carefully
selected both magazines and papers
for this public reading room has left
to others the cultivating of the harvest
that is in time sure to come.
Come those who would encourage
reading, those who would spread knowl
edge, improve morals and help make q
Public Library for all the people.
