subject Of something good for Union

general nature can be discussed and our
interests aired altogether, the dropped
stitches can be caught up and new work
proposed. There are various and sun
dry things that might be brought be-
fore this meeting. The good roads
project might be discussed, especially
a good road to the lake, which is now
on foot. Some inquiries might also be
made about our custom house, our
library and about more cottages for

cuss the city boundary proposition and

The Commercial last week the report

met the Doctor Wednesday and asked
him about his new location, and found
that he was ABOUT to send the officer

he had no notion Of leaving Union City,
that he had found very pleasant home
here and that his practice was very good
indeed and growing all the time. He
is really charmed with Union City and
its people and is here to stay. The Doc
tor however stated that he failed on one

Takes To AutMObIinq
(Communicated.)

, Mr.. Editor:
Just as the sun was setting and
quiet pervaded our little village of
Lloyds, we noticed in the distance
! long volumes Of dust curling far
above the trees, and by its motion
we knew it meant the fast approach
of some machine, and we wondered
| for a moment if the Sand Burr IL,
having conquered everything on the
| water, was not trying to conquer
the land, but we soon discovered 1t
was an auto, and by its speed
thought it was being driven by
someone who had attended the re-
gatta at Cambridge and with the
sporting blood coursing through his
veins, was trying to make a record
run. We expected to see some
daring young driver as Wright, Blu
sic, Jones, or the chauffeurs from
the "Moors," at the wheel, and we
wondered if they would exceed our
town ordinance for speed, which is
fifty miles an hour. Can you mag
inc our surprise when, with the
momentary glimpse that we had OF
him, we discovered our old friend
and neighbor, 7. B. Travers, who
has passed his-birthday Che is
a widower, so I will not state) sit
ting as calmly at the wheel as when
he drives old Nellie to the wagon?
He was alone in his big machine
and after we had caught our breath
the wise ones said watch him climb
tree when he turns at Norris, !
Neck but one who was present when
he made the turn said that he did |
it so gracefully that he would have i
made some OF our young men green |

The Cambridge Library.

The Cambridge Library, which
was opened about ten years ago,
under the auspices of the Woman S
| Club, is an institution in which ev-
/ cry citizen of the town should take
an active interest and feel real
pride. From very small beginning
it has increased to fifteen hundred
volumns, and is today the largest
circulating library on the Eastern
Shore.
The first large contribution to
the library was made by the late
Mr.. John E. Hurst. who gave one
hundred volumns of standard works
including history biography and gen
eral works, many of them classics.
This section has been added to,
from time to time, by gifts and
purchase, until it has assumed such
proportion as to make it a credit
to any library. The Juvenile sec
ton contains a large and we'll Sc
lected list of books, affording the
boys and girls of the town an up
to-date assortment of good, whole
some reading.
The most popular section, OF
course, is that devoted to fiction.
Beginning with sets of the standard
novels, Scott, Dickens, George Eliot,
Thackery, and others, many of
which were donated in complete set:
by friends wh&ere deeply
ested in this movement, this section
has grown until it fills four large
bookcases, and is being constantly
increased. A number of new books
are purchased each month and the
committee aim to give the subScrlb-
ers the very best and latest fiction;
books that are being read and dis
cussed by the general public. After
these books have been read by the
subscribers the best ones are given
a permanent place upon the shelves
and the others sold for a small sum
to make room for new ones. The
aim of the library committee is to
reach the general public, and the
committee hopes that the general
public will avail itself of its privi-
leges. We want you to help us and
at the same time we want to help
you A library of this size and
character in a town the size of Cam
bridge should have five hundred
subscribers instead of fifty.
We want to double the subscrip-
ton list this month. Five new
names have been added in the past
week. We want more than that.
Give us your name, and enjoy the
new books.
A list of the new books pur-
chased for the month of June will
appear in the Banner Friday. Look
out for it and cut it out. The Ii
brary is open every Tuesday and
Saturday morning from 10 to 1880
o'clock.
