Reception at the Library.
One of the pleasant social features
of the coming Philathea convention
will be the informal reception to be
rendered the visitors on Tuesday at
ternoon from five to seven at the
library. The members of the Library
Association will be assisted by the
History Club in the entertainment of
their guests. This courtesy is to be
shown the strangers within our
gates" in behalf of the city of Daw-
son, and every citizen should appre-
ciate the efforts of the ladies, and
feel enough interest to call during
the hours of the reception. In this
way the delegates will be introduced
the first day of their arrival and
given a cordial welcome, such as is
always appreciated by people away
from home. Those having books be-
longing to the library are requested
to send them in Monday afternoon
so that all may be on the shelves
for this occasion. Let the public
bear in mind that everyone in Daw-
son has a special invitation to this
| reception.
