ANNUAL SALE.

This library has had a steady, nat
 ural growth. It now has 1886 boun,
 yols., and a large number of illus trated magazines which need to b,
 bound before they are entered upol
 the list for circulation. The supply oi
 new books does not meet the demands
 of our patrons. The children and
 youth, particularly, do not have sutii
 cient room for choice to meet theii
 wants. And they are the ones whc should have the most done for them in the selection of books they can read with pleasure and profit.
 Since the annual meeting of the A S. sociation, July 6, three delivery sta- tions have been established. one at the house of MT and Mrs Frederick Bemis; another at the home of Ed gar F. Noruhrop, in charge of Mrs Lucy Baldwin; and the third at the honse of Miss Bray, near Botsford station. Books are sent each month to these points for the convenience of those at distance from the library.
 The library committee has raised about $40, ESQ far this library-year, which begins, July l, by means of an entertainment, and whist parties. The plan now is to have the annual sale some afternoon and evening, this month, and to give every one inter esteu an opportunity to help in some way, little at least. The sale has always been successful. People give what they have to give, as much, or as little as they can afford, and the sale converts it all into cash. Mama gers are appointed, by the library committee to have charge of tables; and canvassers are asked to go about and collect what they can.
 There are about 100 members Of the Association; and if each would contrib ute 25 cents. the amount would do in the purchase of needed books. There must be nearly 200 talk CTS of books all told, and if they should chip in ten cents a piece even, the would be greatly encouraged. I More than 50, vols, have been given within the last year by out-of- f-town-people who spend the summers here, besides money; and it does seem as though more of the na- tives and the-all-the-year- -round-dwel- Iers might catch an inspiration from such generous interest, and be moved to do fine thing for the sake of the rising generation, if not, for their own n.-[O.
