NORTHERN ARIZONA FAIR

Prescott, Ariz., Aug. 26th-With the experience of handling two former fairs, President R. N. Fred ericks of the Northern Arizona Fair assisted by an able corps of county and department managers, is rapid. ly placing the 1915 Fair, which will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 21, 22 and 23, in a class with the very best fairs in the Southwest. Exhibits of the won- derful resources of the five northern counties will be shown, including mining, stock-raising, farming poul- try and educational. Attractive premiums are offered by the Asso- citation in all departments, but it is the many special prizes which are hung up, that will make all competition particularly keen.
 Wm. H. Crocker, President of the Crocker National Bank of San Francisco, has offered a cash prize of fifty dollars for the best county school exhibit displayed in the ed ucational department. This should prove strong incentive to all the northern counties to make an un- usual effort to land this covetel prize.
 The premium lists will be ready for distribution not later than Sept. 4, and will be mailed to every one interested in any Department of the Fair, upon application to the Secretary.

BENEFIT DANCE ID BE
 GIVEN, NEXT SATURDAY

On Saturday evening, August 2S benefit dance will be given at the Sultana Theatre for the Williams Public Library building. For a number of years a small band of women in Williams with the aid of small number of the generous men have kept up a public reading room for the convenience and ac- commodation of the reading public, and, from the number of cards issued, it is evident that the room has been enjoyed and fully appre- ciated. It has been thru the main. taining of this Public reading room that the Santa Fe has so generously given us the opportunity of enjoy ing, free of charge, the fine enter tainments they send over their lines for the benefit of their employ ees.
 Now in line with all that I have mentioned, body of women in this community, the Woman's Benefit Association of the Maccabees, have decided, if possible with the aid of everyone in the community, to raise a large fund to help complete the Library. Whether you believe in dancing or not, we know you do and have appreciated and appro- priated the reading room, both for wfiting and reading. Now let us all come forward and buy ticket, or if you don't want to buy ticket because you don't dance, donate a dollar or if you haven't a dollar, donate fifty cents or even twenty five cents. Anyway let us all come forward, every man, woman and child in Williams, and help that small band of women who with grit and determination have gone ahead to furnish us with perma- nent Public Library for the better ment and uplift of Williams. Lets help these women to lift the debt which they will have after the re- sources which they had on hand are exhausted.
 Refreshments of ice cream and cake, and punch will be served at the dance. The punch will be free but charge will be made for the ice crea m and cake.
 Yours for progress,
 The w. B. A of Maccabees.

A Small Burglary

Monday night someone who was thirsty broke the lock on Harry Minors ware house and helped himself to part of the contents. The officers are on the trail and a felony charge may result. Since Williams has the reputation of be- ing one of the driest towns in the state whoever gets on a jag vii! be looked upon with suspicion.
 Jas. Johnson, chairmBn of th, Live Stock Sanitary Board, and Mrs. Johnson, are visiting friends in Williams. They came down from Flagstaff Tuesday and are camping at the Bobee Ranch west of town. MT. Johnson says that it was not hot when he left Phoenix but nevertheless he is delighted with the cool refreshing breezes of Williams.
 Mrs. P. A. Melick and Mrs. c. D. Jeffries entertained about fifty guests at the home of the former, last Friday afternoon. No pains were spared by the hostesses to make this one of the bright spots in the memory of each one present. The hours were pleasantly passed in playing "5OO". Miss Daggs' prize was a pair of handsome silk hose. Mrs. Kenneth Hughes won box of fancy silk handkerchiefs.
 Miss Lenora Francis, County School Superintendent, and Miss Vera Greenlaw,, both of Flagstaff, visited with Ed Hamilton's the first of the week.

1. $. WILLIAMS TELLS
 ABOUT WINS. LIBRARY
(Continued from Page ,

.sior Club was held on April 22nd, 1896, at which time it was unan- imously resolved to merge the Club into an association to be known as the Williams Public Library Association, the present efficient organization to which we are today indebted for this splen- did building. On May 6th., 1896, the Williams Public Library Association was duly incorporated for a period of twenty-five years under the laws of the Territory of Arizona. On March 3rd., 1897, or in point of time, just one day prior to the first inauguration of William Mckinley as President of the United States, the Will jams Public Library purchased from MT. s. c. Schale for the sum of $250.OO lots II and 12, Block 4, of the Williams townsite for library purposes, paying $50 cash thereon, and giving a mort gage for the remaining $100. On December 1st. 1867, MT. Schale agreed to accept $75 as payment in full on the amount due under the mortgage, which was paid and the mortgage was released, as is shown by the records of the Recorders office.
 On June 9th., 1909, a meeting of the Williams Public Library Association was called to be held at the residence of Mrs. James Kennedy. Four members of the original organization were rep resented by proxies, While Mrs. J. S.Button and Mrs. Kennedy were present in person. The officers elected for the ensuing year were Mrs. Wm. F. Dermont, Mrs. J. s. Button, Vice Presi- dent; Mrs. H. F. Adams, Secre- tary, and Mrs. James Kennedy, Treasurer. At this meeting a number of new members were taken in, and a committee com posed of Mesdames James Ken nedy, H. F. Adams, Bertha Ken nedy and F. o. Poison was ap- pointed to draft certain changes proposed in the constitution and bylaws of the association, which committee later reported and the proposed changes as reported were adopted.
 At meeting of the Williams Public Library Association held on August 12th., 1909, a motion was made by Mrs. K. w. Will jams, seconded by Mrs. McDon- aid Robinson, and carried, that the Association accept the charge and supervision of the Williams Reading Room from the Woman S Club of Williams, together with all books, periodicals and furni- ture thereunto belonging. A vote of thanks was then given the Woman's Club for it's action in the matter. Practically the same memberbership constitute both these organizations.
 A room was then rented for the Library, the rent of which was paid by subscription and by monthly dues assessed by the members of the Library Associa- tion for that purpose. This plan did not give satisfactory results, and the Reading Room has since been maintained solely by sub- scription. The dues of the mem bers of the Association were thereafter applied to the purchas- ing books, subscriptions to per iodicals, insurance. etc. A ibrar- ian was obtained by giving the rent free to the librarian, who agreed to keep the Reading Room open during certain hours of the day and night for the accommo. dation of the reading public. This arrangement has enabled many worthy people to obtain good, wholesome reading matter abso.

the erection of this building were secured by these faithful mem- bers of the Association. In July 1909 Miss Irene Johnson, now Mrs. Jerre Lee, gave musical under the auspices of the Asso- citation, from the proceeds of which fifty per cent were con- tributed to the Association. This musicale netted about $30. On December 9th., 1909, it was sug- gested that an amateur perform ance be given for the Associa- tion's benefit. This was given and the proceeds amounted to $165. June 1909 Miss Margarete Dermont and Miss Edna Buggeln presented the Association with $105, collected by them from chances sold on a silver watch box. These young ladies men, toned especially that they desir- ed this money to be'expended solely for the purpose of erecting a library building. The ladies point with pride to the fact that this sum of money was the nest egg of the fund which later grew into such proportions that at last we are here today to wit ness the fruition of their plans.
 During 1910 many small dona- tions and the dues of the mem bers, together with interest on the money already deposited in bank, largely increased the build ing fund. In 1911 the associa- tion published the Arizona Cook Book, publishing 300 copies of the, same, from which the sum of about $250 has been realized so far.
 From these various sources the sum of $1, 026. 13 was obtained.
 In June of this year a special meeting of the1 Library Associa- tion was held to consider the ad- visibility of beginning the erect ion of the long anticipated Li- brary building. At this meeting a motion was made and carried that a building committee be ap- pointed and that the erection of the building begin at once, using the money then on hand for that purpose. The committe was furth- CT empowered to devi se ways and means of securing additional funds with whic to complete the same. A contract was let on July 12th, 1915, for the erection of this build ing, containing one large front room equipped with shelves and large fire place. Two living rooms in the rear are to- be used at present by the librarian, rent free, in consider ation of which the librarian agrees to keep the Library open during specified hours of the day and night and to receive and attend to the distribution of the books under pre- scribed rules and regulations.
 Mrs. Kennedy who has been the Association's first and only Treas urer, had the honor of laying the corner stone, and wishing success to the Library.
 k By October 1st.. 1915, the lots will be filled in with earth to the required heighth and a stone fence placed around same. Through the kindness of public spirited friends much of this outside work has been donated.
 The Ladies of this Library Asso- citation are most grateful to the numerous public spirited citizens of Williams for the assistance given them in their efforts to secure this building for the town, and sincerely hope that much good may come from it.
