Jevenile Department of
Madison Public Library
Shows the Largest Increase
Especial to the Evening start

MADISON, May 1.-THE fourteenth
annual report of Miss Norma B. Ben
nett, librarian, has just been made
public after having been submitted to
the board of trustees of that institu-
ton, which was dedicated to Madison
by the late d. Willis James. The re-
port shows that the total registration
for last year was 1885, an addition of
329 readers during the year. The total
circulation last year was the largest
since 1906 there being a total of 25,4S6
borrowers during the year The larg
est increase is shown among the read
ers of juvenile literature; there the
addition is 1916: while in the adult de-
partment there was only an increase
of 50. There has been added to the
book collection $40 volumes, IS of
which We're bound magazines.
During the past two years the book
collection has been given a systematic
oVerhauling in order to Gull out the
dead wood and replace books too bad
w worn to circulate. This year the
improved condition of the books has
been manifest and there have been
discarded only 269 volumes, of which
10 were lost by the borrowers. The
net gain to the book department mas
been sol volumes. making the total
number of books in the library at the
year total 10,445.
Gifts are acknowledged from the
Twenty Minute Reading Club, of
Madison. and thirty volumes of Irish
literature, a bequest of Miss Bertha
Is. Wildman. Last year the custom
of letting out the books for two weeks
instead of one was instituted and
much appreciated by the public.
Looking back over the past year,
saws the report, the work that stands
ont most prominently is that of the
children. Never have they been so
responsive, their childish wisdom and
quaint comments having proved en-
tightening as well as amusing.

tnguished. however. SO quickly did
the members of all four fire eompa-
MES work. that damage only to the

Bringing Him Back.

The attorneys for the prosecution

minutes each to argue the case. The
attorney for the defense had COM
menced his argument with an allusion
to the swimming hole of his boyhood
days He told in a fiowery way of
the balmy air the singing birds, the
JOY of youth, the delights of the cool
water
And in the midst of it he was in
terrupted by the drawing voice of

James Man Out Of the Race.

The postoffice fight at Mt. Ster-
ling has lost o large part of its
interest, since word has come
from Washington that Squire
Turner, editor of the Sentinel
Democrat, is out of the ring. Mr..
Turner had the Endorsement of
Senator James, but Congressman
Fields was Supporting Mr.. l.. T.
Chiles, of the grocery firm of
Chiles. Thompson. The majority
of the patrons of the office were
for Mr.. Chiles, Senator James
withheld his support from Mr..
Chiles upon the pretext that he
was not a good Democrat, charg-
ing that Mr.. Chiles had not sup
ported the regular Democratic
nominee for County Judge last
fall. This Mr.. Chiles did not de-
ny. The Republican nominee
was Mr.. Thompson, MIR. Chiles
life long eeNpartner, and
he felt justified in voting for
him. The Democratic nominee
for Judge thought so too, and he
himself, therefore, Endorsed Mr..
Chiles.

to the majority of most persons
leaving the good old State of
Powell. So far there has been
but few leaving us tins Spring as
compared with former years. 1t
is time for us to learn that any
county is largely just what we
mike it, and now that poor land
can be scientifically made good,
we think it time for all to settle
down and build up our county
by getting roads, good farms,
good homes and happy, God
fearing, law-abidiDg, contented
people, instead of helping to de-
velop and boost other counties
and states and seeking such con.
ditions there. There was a time
when the outlook was bad, but
conditions and opportunities
have changed greatly in the last
ten years, and so changed that
there is but little excuse for
leaving this county.

conductor insisted on his paying
the 10 cents extra for train fare.
This Mr.. Ponder refused to do,
whcreupon he was elected from

Ponder is a very prominent citi-
zen of the county. He has many
friends who were anxious that he
