March 20, 1S6S-We congratulate
our people that they have so fine
library nearly ready for use. The
enterprise was undertaken by the la
dies two or three years since, who.
by fairs, raised $500, the base of the
fund. In addition to this there are
now 10 shareholders at $40 and the
managers confidently expect to Sc
cure as many more. About $500
has been expended for new books.
Excellent taste and judgment are dis
played in the selection of books. In
the library there are about $50 vol
umes OF standard works of history:
225 choice biographical works; 100
volumes travels, etc, 800 volumes of
standard works of fiction. 125 of poe
try. There Is fine selection of
reading for young folks. The re-
mainder Is made up of essays by the
best English and American authors.
Works of natural history. science' ART,
etc., etc The value of the library
Is greatly increased by a full set of
the American Encyclopedia. AT pres
ent the library room is over the Sec
ond National Bank. We hope that
the efforts of the ladies and gentle
men, who have devoted so much time
to this enterprise will be properly
appreciated.
