Old Book Terms.

The words folio. quarto. octayo duo decimo and the like have almost if not quite lost their original meaning. At first they had reference only to the number of leaves into which the sheets used in making the books were folded Thus if these sheets were folded once so as to form two leaves or four pages the book was called folio; if the sheets were folded twice so as to form four leaves the book was called <, quarto; if they were folded four times so as to form eight leaves the book was called an octave. and so on.

The annual meeting Of the Middles

Aged was held yesterday afternoon in
the directors room of the First Ma.
tional bank. The subject of electing
officers for the ensuing term was one
Of the first brought up.
1t was decided to defer the election,
allowing the standing officers to hold
over until their successors should be
named. 1t is very probable that they
will hold over for the entire term They
are: Samuel G. Garretson, president;
DR.. j. L. Lund, first vice president; w.
y. Lansley, second vice president; and
R. f. Comegys, secretary.
Financial reports showed the homa
to be in good financial standing. Ac-
ording to the reports there is 81 ,56264
on hand.
Mrs. Maria Pierce announced thaf
ample fuonds could be secured if the
association decided to erect a home Of
its own. She intimated thai desirable
funds can be had both to secure the
property, erect home and maintain It,
if the board should decide to take such
action. The subject Of erecting home
has been discussed for some time.
Mrs. J.. J. B. Kelley was engaged
as a Solicitor for the home. She will
commence her duties Immediately and
win travel about the county, soliciting
donations for the home and also ap-
plications for admission At the pres.
ent time the home contains six inmates
costing $ll135 a month to maintain.

Its rule to have each inmate turn over
his property to the home It is hardly
likely that this rule will ever be en-
forced, because Of the hardship upon
several Of the inmates to part with theiR
last worldly possession. On the other
hand, the inmates will probably be al.
lowed to keep their property, because
they will feel more at ease, having In
mind the possible discontinuance Of the
institution
