We are requested % call the at
tention of the citizens Of Seneca who
are interested to the condition of the
library. The books are housed in
the council room, and as there are
many of them that are exposed, and
| as the council room Is left open a
great part Of the time, it is necessary,
for the welfare of the books, that
they be looked after. There is no
fund at present for the maintenance
of the work, and until some plan is
made for opening the library regu-
larly the books should Of course be
put away securely. At one time the
librarian was paid by the council, and
your correspondent wonders why in
Seneca's progress along other lines,
this most important feature of
what has proven in the past sign
OF genuine progress, should now be
neglected. We would like to see the
present council memorialize itself in
doing big thing for our town by
putting the library on its feet again.
We hope the president of the Library
Association will call a meeting Of the
association speedily and see if the
question cannot be agitated and some
plan settled upon for opening the
library again.
Invitations have been received

elect Is staunch business mar, and
where the bride-to-be is also popu-
larly known.

tain few of her young friends in
