gift from X c. Gray of Madison of
eighteen volumes of bound copies OF
magazines. Among these were the
Review of Reviews and the Literary
Digest. This makes valuable ad-
dition to the reference works of the
library. When you are making your
Christmas purchases don't forget that
you have a good friend in the Stew
art Public Library; one that asks
but little of you and stands ready
to serve you at all times in your
needs along its line. Sons, of the
library's friends make it an annual
custom to give it book. Should
you feel disposed to do so the gift
will be appreciated either at Christ
mas or during the year. It need
not necessarily be a book that has
not been opened and all classes of
literature are acceptable.
