REHCBOTH WILL have WATER WORKS.

At an election held in the town of
Rehoboth last Saturday, the voters of
that town voted for water works to be
built at once. This election was held
as a result of the recent bill passed bv
the legislature which gave them the
right to bond the town of Rehoboth for
$50, 900 to install water works The
vote was overwhelmingly in favor of
the improvement. Strange to say.
however. very few of the yearly inhabi-
tants of the town took an interest in
the project most of the voters being
cast by proxy sent by property owners
who reside at other places. The Board
Of Public Works hopes to have the
new improvements completed before
the first of June. Several of the
prominent citizens of the town, notwait
ing for the election to decide the i'm
have already employed en-
gineers and started work. One well
has already been sunk of the four which

Why A FREE LIBRARY.

l. Because the people of Milford
read. There are few homes in the town
where daily newspaper does not find
Its way at first hand. second hand, often
behind hand, welcomed none the less.
The Sunday paper boasts of even larger
circulation. Back numbers of house
hold magazines are humbly solicited and
gratefully received by white and negro
families, as well as the weekly papers
furnished by Sunday schools of the
town. The libraries of these schools
have been exhausted, those furnished
by the State are deservedly popular.
Families exchange magazines. teachers
form clubs among their pupils to pro-
vide current news, and teachers iOin in
subscribing to journals devoted to edu-
cationaI interests. Nine clubs provide
a varied supply of popular magazines I
for their members. The newsstand of .
the Red Star Drug store is we'll patron I
lied. The exchange library at the Sus- .
seN~Colnty Drug store has a large mem
bership. The high school worked hard
to secure library of its own, the Board
Dt education has stored away a valuable
collection of books and bound maga-
zines from the old subscription library.
ii. Because the people would read

MILFORD FREE LIBRARY.

time IS left us, except for perusal of
our weekly or daily paper know what
a llberal education means to the bov and
glrl, who makes success of life in this
day Of requirement. We surely should
be unwilling. not to afford them every
advantage, to say nothing of giving
them a comfortable, attractive place to
frequent, instead of street corners and
pool tables.
The school we admit is a necessity
giving a common education, but what
does that mean except, that It is to
school the boy and girl to train the mind
to think and to reason. The books he
studies are of little or no benefit. after
he leaves school, and are discarded.
Whatever avenue of work or profession
he elects to enter afterward demands
access to special books, on certain lines.
as well as a general knowledge of the
affairs of the day.
With good, practical working library.
an intelligent well read librarian who
knows how to recommend the right book
to the lnqulring student the advantages
0t such library are manifold and can be
)nly second to those of the public school
The only obstacle that blocks the way.
seems to be the question of expense.
We spend thousands of dollars on our
.hurches every year, for spiritual up
lit, and should we hesitate to spend a
'ery few hundred for mental advant-
ges! ! Those who know the facts state
nat with an increase of taxes to the
mount of $500, covering the whole

+ $3.50 from the State or in palmer
lords, an average tax of % cents on

Let US have a judiciousy selected IL
