Waverley Notes.

The Waverley Club held its
regular fortnightly meeting Satur-
day at the home of Mrs. Walker,
with Misses Vickers and Steven
son as hostesses.
The club is vitally interested at
present in the preparation of the
park for the use of the public be-
fore the summer seoson opens.
Life in smaller communities is 30
much more healthful in every
way, physically, mentally, spirit
nally than in the larger, congest-
ed centers, that it behooves every
thinking man and woman to do
everything possible to interest the
children and young people, SO
that they may love the wholesome
village life such as Franklinton
offers. Much has been done
along this line, and the club
earnestly urges the cooperation
of the whole community in max
ing of the park a delightful Soc
ial center. The park is for the
Town, and on Thursday night
she town is invited to turn out
en- messe to lawn party on the
court house square. Cream and
cake will be sold, and a social
time enjoyed. Our social ma
!. ture is very important part Of
pur being, and we should give it
more opportunity to develop.
4 The proceeds of the lawn party
will go to pay the indebtedness of
kwenty dollars due on the fence
which the ladies have erected
around the park site. 1t is hoped
IN addition to this to make enough
money to construct a gate similar
10 those at the court house. Do
nations of cream or sherbet and
cake are solicited from the ladies
of the town. Anybody who will
give cream or sherbet is asked to
notify Mrs. 7. j. Hayes, those
giving cake, Mrs Willis Simmons.
Everybody come Thursday night
and the party will be a grand
success. A committee composed
of Mrs. Ada Babington, Mrs. j.
4. Brock, and Mr.. Delos Johnson
will select the name for the park.
Those wishing to submit names
are asked to turn them in to some
member of the committee. The
city has been asked to fill the
swimming pool. Mayor Babing-
ton will take the matter up with
the council.
As soon as the money and
material can be secured it is
hoped to erect swings, see saws,
benches, picnic tables, slides,
sand piles. etc. More underbrush
will be cleaned out and flowers
planted as fast as conditions will
permit. The ladies call for |
volunteer assistance of all kinds. |
Let everybody work for the park. |
After the business session Mrs. |
A. E. Hood, chairman, took
charge of the program which was
from the Digest Of April 90 and
May 3 as follows:
Roll Call--Current Events.

Considerable business was trans acted by the Nome City Council at it's last meeting.
 The Health Department was in- structed to notify property owners to clean up their premises, the haul ing of the debris, garbage etc. to be done at the householdars expense owing to the stringency of the Nome exchequer. An investigation of the street contract is also to be made with a view of changing the same.
 After May 18th the delinquent tax payers will be forced thru legal ac- tion if necessary to pay their taxes, A communication from MT ,Johansen offering to buy the lot occupied by the old c. D. Lane building on First Avenue for the accrued taxes apprix- imately $60.00 was read but the of- fer after a considerable discussion thereon, refused. Some of the mem bers of the Council were of the opin- ion that this offer was entirely to low as the lot extended from First Ave to River street, the upper end being in one of tn most desirable residence locations in this city
 After a report by the Fire and Water, and Street Committees had been made it was decided that the Health officer and the Health and Relief Committees should hold meeting and decide upon general clean up day.
 Some bills presented by the Fiji nance Committee were ordered paid excepting the bills presented by the Street Contractor which were laid over pending an investigation of the contract and the possibility of mak- ing other arrangements for the up- keep of the streets.
 The meeting then adjourned until June n2d.

 Bob Jahnke found the carcasses of four foxes that had succumbed to the poison but MT Solberg has so far been unable to fasten the guilt of this crime upon anyone, altho several persons are undcf suspicion and will be harshly dealt with should proof of their guilt be established.

NOT MEANT FOR CIRCULATION
Volumes in Ancient Library Of Alex
andria, Egypt, Were Not lnfre-
quently $50 Feet Long.

How would you like to have to rend
n story written on a sheet of paper
$50 feet long?
This task faced those who made use
Of rive famous library ut Alexandria.
for the universal writing material In
TINT duy was papyrus parchment not
coming into use until three centuries
I,ter This collection contained 49,
600 books, and when 1t was burned
treasures of the literature and history
of ancient days beyond all price were
lost The library was destroyed by ac-
cident when flames spread to the
shore from the fleet which Caesar had
set on fire.
The reed. from the inner covering of
which papyrus was made, still grows
I'm Egyptian marshes. Thin strips OF
II were cut off and laid close together
A sheet was formed by laying strips
across these mt right angles. after
which the material was molstened
pressed and dried. The paper thus
made had fair writing surface, bur
was not very durable. Unless handled
with extreme care papyrus scrolls
found nowadays will crumble into dust
The sheets, sometimes made 100 feet
long, were called "bihlot." from which
the modern Bible and book are derived
The ink used was made of gum and
lampblack. Papyrus was not only used
in Egypt, but large amount of it was
exported. Excavations in the ruins of
Herculaneum have brought to light
many thousands of these scrolls.
