DUMAS LIBRARY
 BUILT BY LADIES
An Illustration of What d Few Detu'- mined Women Can DO in the Way of Securing Public Building for a Progressive TOWn--Pine BluM Man Aids Financially.

The active lady workers of the Dumas Library Association have at last the supreme satisfaction of seeing complete the work upon which they started about eighteen months ago, says the Dumas News.
 The handsome and substantial building which now stands on Water man avenue is a child of their own conception. the fruit of their handi- work They have labored unceasing- ly for the fruition of their hopes and lthe reward is theirs at last.
 The building is 60X30 over all, is fitted with commodous stage seven teen feet in depth and a dressing room oa each side.
 white the wainscoating is finished in harl oil; there are five windows on each side of the building, thus afford ing plenty of light.
 The Association has ready to place
 into this building about 300 volumes of fiction, history and biography, a shortly to add bookcases and ample seating accommodations.
 This building is to, fill a long-fet want in the town; where entertain ments might be given and sociability among the townspeople might be cul tivated. For a reasonable charge the association will rent their hall for any social purpose that high-toned, moral and liberty-loving people ap- prove. The association is incorporat- ed under the laws of Arkansas and it's charter provides that under no cir cumstanceS may vinouS or alcoholic liquors be sold or used in this build ing. The officers will see to it that this rule is trictly enforced.
 The edfice was constructed by w. Fleet Jones of Pine Bluff, and the workmanship throughout reflects great credit upon MT. Jones' The ladies did not have quite suf- ticient money to pay in full for the building and so they arranged with Ed Willeford to let them have the amount they needed He very gen. erously came to their assistance, not alone with donation but by loaning them the money at six per cent. Busi- ness men in this section will under stand the rate is purely compliment ary.
 The ladies expect to meet shortly and arrange plans for the celebration and formal opening of their hall. An nouncement will be made through these columns in due time.

Any such plan would virtually do
away with the states as factors in the
problem, and the candidate who got
the most votes in the whole country

Furthermore, instead of adding to the

have just the reverse effect. The
