Good For r1cDoweII

Mcdowell has a reading room
Mrs } B Bradshaw was the prime
moyer in getting the good work
under way, and now they have &
little circle that holds its stated
bi-weekly meetings, in a neatly
furnished, comfortable room, where
can be found many of the leading
magazines, popular works OF stand
ard authors and the latest fiction.
The library is circulating. and
the magazines, after remaining in
the room two weeks can be taken
out for q stated period by the mem,
befs.
For all these privileges each
member has to pay but the very
small amount Of one dollar per
year. It can readily be seen what
wonderful privileges accrue to the
mem bers from this small outlay.
Then, aside from the advantages
to be gained in this way, the social
feature of such a circle would GER
tainly be one Of pleasure and profit.
In small villages and thickly set
tied neighborhoods opportunities
for the cultivation of the social
side of life are very few. So few
and far between are thew that we
naturally become to an eztent
estranged and selfish, thereby re-
moving from ourselves that good
and enjoyable part of our existence,
To great extent this would be
overcome by we'll conducted read
ing circle. The natural tendency
Of such an institution would be
to store the mind with that which
is helpful and elevating, which
good points should outweigh the
natural inclinations we seem to
possess which, when a few neigh
bors casually meet, to take up the
neighborhood gossip where we left
off the last time and continue the
house to- house roasting OF our
neighbors.
These Highland pioneers of the
reading room deserve the praise
encouragement and help Of their
fellows, and may the good idea be ;,
taken up and worked into useful
ness in the other towns OF the
county. :,

reading circle are: Mrs ] b Brad

A Day Late

The Recorder comes out a day
late this week for the reason that
it was shipped from Baltimore by
the Adams instead Of the U S Ex-
press Company. We have an ar
rangement by which the issues are
delivered by the U S Express COM
pany directly to the Highland hack
line, but no such arrangement ex7
lists between US and the Adams,
therefor this issue remained In
Staunton a day longer than it
should have done.
In this matter Of prompt and
sure deliver the U S Express Go.
and the Monterey hack line have
rendered us an excellent. agreeable
and obliging service.

Now She's Happy

Not long ago lady was in a
peck of trouble. She had lost two,
valuable, gold pins. They were
ornaments that she priced highly
and because of their loss she was
so5sly grieved.
As a last resort she caaae so this
office and unburdened her sorrow
to the ever sympathetic editor.
Immediately he placed few words
in these columns and in a remarka-
bly short time both Of the lost pins
were found and placed in the ladv's
hand, and now she is happy.
1t is the Recorders mission to
make people happy. Tell it your
trO ubles.
