M. G. B. NOTES.

| Last year the M. T.. b. CluD sent
out requests for subscribers to the
Library. These requests were very
generously answered by the friends
Of the Club, and the subscriptions
were indeed appreciated. This year.
in view of all the debts that the Club
fhas on hand, the members again take
the card method of asking for sub
scribers to the Library. The cards
have been out for at least a week and
the answers containing the one dollar
subscription price are coming in
slowly. Among the first to sub
scribe are: Mr.. r. L. ALBERT, St.
Tammany Banking Co. & Savings
Bank, Mr.. E. v. Richard, and MIR.
Louis Bourgeois. We hope that the
friends of the Club and Library, who
have stood by us SO long, will not
overlook the fact that the Library is
home institution which needs help
during these times, and that 1t at
fords an opportunity to Covington
which other towns its size do not
possess; also that it is entirely kept
up by the untiring efforts of club
Of girls, who must rely on their
friends for help. We have just put
in a new supply of books, and ex-
pect to get more soon. Will the new
subscribers, therefore, kindly for
ward the price of subscription, and
the librarian will make out her new
list. This list will later be publish
ed in this column.
Each week the dancing school is
more and more successful. Last Sat
urady the little ones were started on
the steps in a Spanish dance. Part

Today Miss Mickle will come on the
two O'Clock car and give the lessons
from two until FOUR for the children.
and from four until six for adults.
The price is Is cents per lesson, or
five lessons for $1.00, il paid in adj
vance.
The Club hopes to make q good
beginning Tuesday, February 23d. at
$3.50 p. M, for the Five Hundred
series TO be given each Tuesday dur
ing Lent. Remember that every
game will count for the capital prize
at the end, and every score will be
published each week in the Farmer,
SO that every lady can see exactly
where she stands on the list. The
games start promptly at $3.50 o'clock.
Anyone who is unable to attend any
of the meetings may send a proxy,
and this score will be counted for
the absent player.
The Hebert Drug Store kindly do
mated the first prize for the first
game Of the series. 1t is a handsome
box OF stationery, and is now on ex-
hibition in their windows.

Several matters which require mani

Of them will be an effort on the part OF
Mr.. McAneny to ave the Holbrook.
Cabot & Rollins subway contract re-
stored to its original form. which per-
mitted the contractors and the Public
Service Commissions chief engineer to
agree on a lumo payment for extra work.
Last week after the estimate board
cut this clause out of the contract the
Holbrook company asked the Supreme
Court for a writ of mandamus. Argu-
ment on this application is to be heard
In court to-day.
At the last meeting of the Board Of
Estimate only Mr.. McAneny and Bor-
ough President Connolly OF Queens voted

Ing that the decision of the board mears
