FREE LIBRARY IS
 OPEN T() PUBLIC Large Assemblage at For nal Ceremonies Tester
 day Afternoon. @ COMPLIMENT LADIES Congressman Taylor, Rabbi Jasin and Professors Allen and May Point Out Benefits to Accrue fr0p'
 Library. 
COMPLIMENT LADIES

Nearly 200 men and W1n;en proml- nent in Pine Bluff commercial, pro- fessional, philanthropic, social and civic improvement circles, yesterday afternoon attended the reception which marked the formal opening of the library being established here by the Public Library association.
 During the several hours the recep- ton lasted, perhaps twice that many men and women called at the library quarters, in the assembly hall of the Chamber of Commerce, on the sixth floor of the Citizens bank building.
 The exercises yesterday might be termed one of the mile posts on the road of endeavor mapped out some time ago by the ladies of the library association, the road to make it's ter minus in a building which will house library of many volumes, when the labors of tre women shall have achieved the result SD earnestly de sired by them.
 The women of the library associa- ton, who have worked steadily on ward despite almost insurmountablt obstacles and well-nigh innumerable rebuffs snd disappointments,. found yesterday a day of pleasure, not only because it marked the formal opening of the library, but because the mum Der of volumes on the shelves of tht

library were ssnddenly augmented i'll great degree, by the presentation to the library of collection of about 200 volumes by Congressman Sam M Taylor.
 Taylor Presents Books
 Congressman Taylor was the prln- cipal speaker at the exercises yester- day. Just before the ceremonies were begun, the books were brought into the library room and presented to the officers of the association by MT. Tay- Tor. The vofumes comprise hand}' somely bound copies of government reports, and the collection has value conservatively estimated at $200. The donation was the largest yet received by the libra1x association.
 Other donations were received yes terday by the library, and when the doors were closed last evening, the shelves were virtually all filled. It was rumored during the afternoon that several other large donations, in cluding one collection of reference works of considerable value, are to be msde to the library within the next few days, while a number Of persons were m 5ntioned who have or dered books which will be delivered to the library as gifts.
 Pine Bluff Needs Library
 Rabbi Joseph Jasin presided over the formal exercises yesterday, and the talks were made by Congressman Taylor, Prof. J. R. Allen, principal of the High school, and Prof. F. Gar land May, principal of the Lakeside school. Each of these speakers point ed out, in clear, forceful language the very great advantage to al classes of people of a public library stressing also the disadvantage O. not having such an institution. The point was brought out again thai Pine Bluff is one of only two cities of equal size in the entire country which possesses no public library ia cilities.
 Music was a pleasing feature of the afternoon, Miss Mamie Farrar's violir selections being particularly enioya ble. Many selections were rendered on Victrola loaned by the Barnes music house. There was general fe licitation among those present ovel the success achieved through the re cent activities of the library associa ton, and tho utmost of optimism pre- vailed as to the ultimate successful 't4rmination of the campaign for
