Spring Hunors
Hoods Sarsaparill:

but on account of the lack of interest
on the part of the citizens the project
has never been pushed to a successful
conclusion and it is hoped that the
action of the Library Association in
taking an energetic initiative will be
the means which shall ultimately re-
suit in the establishment of the long
hoped for improvement. 1t will be
noted that while the association has
taken the initiative it is desired that
every citizen of the city should in
terest himself and herself in this
great work. The cooperation of the
Chamber of Commerce, Merchants AS
ISOLATION Civic League and School
Improvement Association has been in
vited and no doubt each of those or
CARNATIONS will lend a hearty coop
Grafton to the movement as Inaugu-
rated, as each of these organizations
are vitality interested in the future or
the city, and certainly free and we'll
equipped library will be of immeasur-
able assistance to the upbuilding of
the Deep Water City.

detail are as follows:
