MASSEY APPOINTED
JANITOR IN STATE
SENATORIAL CHAMBER

John Massey, negro who has
been voting the Democratic ticket
since 1872 when he cast vote for
Horace Greeley, has been appointed
one of the janitors in the senate
chamber at Springfield, through the
influence of State Senator Woodard
of Benton.
Massey is best known by his sob.
riQuet of "Big john" until recently

partment of the down town section
of Cairo.
This appointment of Massey is de-
serving and in recognition of his
faithfulness and loyalty to the party
for when defeat so often was met at
the polls, John voted the ticket al.
ways purely for principles sake and
not with the hope of ever being re-
warded except the self-consciousness
of having done. what he thought,
was best for his country and race.

CHILDREN'S ROOM AT
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

The members of the Library Board
showed their loyalty to their charge
Monday last when the braved the
downpour and attended the special
meeting called for that day.
Business of Importance was con-
sidered and acted upon.
The overcrowded conditions were
deliberated upon and it was decided
to put the children's books in the
present reference room and make ii
a %children's room" The plan,
while not entirely satisfactory, is the
best that can be devised under the
circumstances. The segregation OF
the children will enable those In
charge to supervise their reading,
placing books especially fitted for
each. and interest in the children In
various ways in good reading with
~As1ilts that will be standard through
life. ~}t~;is1re
Part of Mrs. Safford's anniversary
gift of $4,000 will be effectively used
In this room and duly appreciated.
Adult patrons will have more
room in the circulating department
consequence of the children's room.
Encyclopedias, dictionaries. at
lases and few other general refer
ence books will be placed in large
case In the reading room, and there
will be q table near for the special
convenience of all. There will also
be a corner in the circulating de-
partment where those desiring a
place for study can use any book in
the library.
At the above meeting Miss Pearl
Youngs and Miss Florence Cohn
were elected assistants.
Both young ladies are graduates
Of the Cairo High school, with good
records and agreeable dispositions.
From their present interest and
anxiety to learn the work and atten-
tion to business, indications are that
they are going to do we'll.
Proficiency in library work can
not be attained in month or, a
year, and is matter of experience
and training. But these young lad
les are aware of the fact and both
willing and anxious to learn, which
is greatly in their favor.
A magazine rack has been placed
in the reading room. The magazines
can now be found alphabetically ar
ranged.
The plan will be much more sat
isfactory to patrons than finding the
mixture on the tables.
