ARE TO GET BOOKS
Hester's Store and Dabney
School Will Be Book
Stations

Residents of Kittrell and Dabney
communities have access to a collec-
ton of books from the H. Leslie Perry
Memorial Library during the summer
months.
Although the books are from the
public library the WPA Library pro-
ject for Vance County is responsible
for having a worker to circulate these
books and to take requests as we'll as
for the transportation of the books
to the stations.
Books may be borrowed free of
charge from Hester's Store, Kittrell,
where Mrs. H. F. Pace is in charge.
At the Dabney school, Miss Rosa
Johnson lends the books. The hours
at both places are from nine to twelve
o'clock and from one to three o'clock
each day except Saturday and Sunday
Not only may patron borrow the
books there but they may request
books that will be included in the next
change of books and send in refer
ence questions. Answers to reference
questions if possible will be sent by
return mail.
The public library also has collec-
ton of books at Mrs. Walston's store
in Drewry and at the post office in
Townsville. These two collections
are loaned by interested patrons. Dur
ing the winter months there was a
collection of adult books from the lib
rary at Middleburg for the people in
that community. The South Hender-
son branch of the library has been
closed temporarily until a worker
could be found to place there. This
branch has been open for nearly six
years, while the Townsville commun-
ity has had this service for over seven
years.

gain of more than ten percent in

his year showed receipts of $3,471.35,
as against $3,145.65 in May, 1896, a
cain of $325.7O.
The post office has had a gain
every one of the five months of 1887
over the corresponding period last
year. So far in 1887 receipts are $2O,-
lOO9S, compared with $18,971.25, a
cain of $1,42973.
Total receipts for last year were
s4S925 10, and if the present rate of
increase is continued for the year as
whole, the office will go far beyond
the $4,000 total for 1887. If the re-
naming months of the year do only
the same as last year, the total will
be well over the half century mark.
In 1886 there were only three
months that fell below the CORES
pondng period of 1885. There have
teen none so far in 1887 without an
increase over 1886.

By PHILIP H. LOVE.

The march of progress threatens to
cut the ground from beneath the
modest home which Mrs. Cornelia
Suikerbuik bought with the meager
savings from 80 years of taking in
washing, scrubbing floors in two Gov
eminent buildings and catering to as
many as four boarders at time.
A mile from the nearest horse car
line and surrounded by rolling farm
land when she and her late husband
moved into it half a century ago, the
old frame house now stands on the
brink of two-sided precipice created
by the extension Of Fifteenth and
Girard streets NE. Worse still. how
ever. the 74-year-old widow has just
learned that the seven-room cottage,
already shaken by the city's growing
palms," extends from to 13 feet be-
yond the boundaries Of the new thor
oughfares.
ut was only a little farm house
when my husband and I rented it."
Mrs. Suikerbuik recalled today. TT
was old even then-it must be about
100 years old now, I guess-but it
stood on a pretty green hill, with a
lovely view all around, and we loved
it."
The Suikerbuiks had come to
Washington only short time before
They had met in their native Amster-
dam.
Fireman on Dutch Ship.
I'VE were sweethearts, my Sebas-
tian and I, in The Netherlands, the
gray-haired widow explained. "He
was fireman on Dutch ship; he had
some sort of trouble with the captain
while the ship was docked in New
York, and-well, he just went ashore
and stayed. After a while he got a
job in a brickyard and then he sent
for me. We were married in New York
and lived in that section for about
four years before coming to Wash
ington."
Mr.. Suikerbuik also worked in a
brickyard here-as brickburner, a
job for which his training as q sea-
going fireman had fitted him. His
wife helped pay the $10-a-month rent
for their home by going out to dc
cleaning"
"My husband was killed by a
street car at Twenty-fourth and !
streets NV. 80 years ago." Mrs.
Suikerbuik said. HE had only $500
worth Of insurance-just enough for
funeral expenses-and I was left
penniless. I couldn't collect any
damages for the accident. because
they said it was his own fault.
II tried taking in washing-at one
time doing the laundering for Cath
olic University-but, somehow, couldn't
make ends meet. Then I tool
in boarders-anywhere from one to
four. as many as I could get.
Got Job rs Charwoman.
II still didn't have enough income
however, SO got job as char
woman with the Government. I
worked in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and the Veterans Ad-
ministration, eventually getting to be
head charwoman.
