 At a meeting of the planning committee held last evening dis cussion was held on the program of fall activities that will be held for the benefit of the library building fund. It was reported that the money turned in and the money to be turned in had brought the s50,- 900 campaign drive Up to the s43,- 300 mark.
 Official reports were made to the planning committee of the money raised at past benefit performances. They were as follows: Minstrel show, approximately $500; straw berry festival approximately s329; flower show, s164; and food sale by the Congregational church s64. It was also reported that the 1880 graduating class of the high school had turned in s2oo to the fund while the local school teachers had pledged about s700. The two re- ports brought much favorable com ment at the meeting. About $201 has been pledged by members of the Woman's club. whose untiring work during the past few years started the ball rolling towards a campaign for a library building.
 The fall activities will get under way tomorrow evening at o'clock with the opening of the Idle Hour miniature golf course in the garage building across from the post of flee. r. L. Benzon, owner of the | course, has offered to turn in the | nights receipts to the library fund and it is expected that at least s1o0 will be realized.

 The third affair on the program is a thrift sale to be held some- | .iille uulluS oClODef. lulS Will real ] ly be an old-fashioned rummage sale. It is hoped that all residents who have old articles in their at tics or any clothing that they do not want will donate them to the sale. Merchants who have goods that are not selling are also invit- ed to help the library fund by do- hating them to the sale. These do- nations will enable the library com- mittee to dispose of them at a cheap price and should result in a large sum of money being realized for the library. The committee in charge of the thrift sale is Mrs. F. T. Wheeler and Mrs Clark.
