This is the secoGd or series Of

In brief Rev. King said last ntghS
that a city, like person, has n

acter, A close student of life can
read a mans character by the lines
OF his face, likewise community IS
revealed by the signs that appear
in its community life, such as its

Rev. King traced the history OF
the library movement in this city.
A library having been started hero
some twenty odd years ago by a few
public spirited citizens, but due to
inadequate funds it had to be
closed.
Recently a library commission
was appointed to canvass the sit.
