Last Monday night * few of our best,!
brighter! and most representative men
aiul women met in the circuit court room
at the court house to discuss ways ami
means for the building, equipping and
maiutainioc in our little city of a public
library. Mrs. O. U. Ilollwa*e and Mr.
Juo. M. Trewett made interesting talks
explaining their views and stating the
purposes for which the meeting was
called. Not a dissenting voice was heard,
but dues it follow that none dissent V
Let's look a little into it.
It is proposed to incorporate a public
library company with rights to obtain
•ouey and property in any possible man
ner to the amount of $11000 to establish
their library.
Let’s look at what could be done with
that $3000.
Our cemetery where nearly every one
of us buve gome dear one IhiiI away could
be id a de beautiful; a pride to our town
and a monument of love and respect to
those we have buried there. We could
pay the debt upon our public school and
equip it properly anil escape future shame
at not being able to have public school
every year. Those who would subscribe
this $30i>0 might increase their church
subscriptions that vve could escape the re
proach of having live dilapidated church
buildings and but two resident ministers,
not too extravigantly paid.
With the money necessary to maintain
our library we could keep pretty steadily
at work a street cleaning force that could
Hdd more beauty and comfort to physical
life than a dozen libraries can to our men
ial and moral being.
It is said it will look well to the world
—will indicate us a refined and cultured
people—will allow we are progressive and
awake to our best moral and mental in
terests— that we are a literary and book
Hi people : which is all very nice; but
,11.at same world will not lie so dazzled by
the glory of our library but what it can
see our little children playing all day in
jhe streets because we have no public
.school to send them to; that world will
not be so blinded by the splendor of our
library but what it can see the rotten
.relief, sunken graves, the fallen tomb
.-.tones in our gullied and weed-grown
cemetery ; the world can also see our dirty
streets and alley s, our broken sidewalks,
our wrecked city hall, our closed churches,
our abandoned Stuarts springs park, our
lack of sewers and many other tilings
that make us fall far short of a tituess for
U public library.
Let's table tills library resolution for
the present and go to work and see if we
cannot first supply the thinks so badly
needed to make ours a clean, neat, up to
date town in all practical essentials—then
4 library will lie quite in order and entire
ly consistent with its surroundings.

Is Your Life Worth Fifty Cents.
We defy the world to produce a medi
cine for the cure of all forms of Kidney
and liladder troubles. Tiles anil all dis
eases peculiar to women, that will equal
Smith’s Sure K dncy Cure. Ninety-eight;
per cent, ot the cases treated with Smith's
.■jure Kidney Cure that have come under
our observation have been cured. We
sell our medicine on a positive guaran- j
lee. if directions are lollowed, and money
will he refunded if cure is not effected.

Sallie Adn.
It never seems to strike the Sallie Anns
that probably three-fourths of (lie card
playing gamblers come from homes where
<*ar«U art) unknown—wliem the innocent
pasteboards are regarded as inventions ol
Satan,and etokiiiole and authors as direct
«,ifts tr*m heaven.
The boy or man who is so weak ns to
become a gambler just because lie happens
to learn to play cards, is a gambler at
heart, and if he did not know (hud* lie j
would shoot crapg. You had just as well ■
warn boys or ineti against riding horses
because borses can run, and itec*use some- j
times the owner ot one horse will bet his
money that ids horse is a world-beater.
Y'ou had just as well ask the farm
wives not to grow chickens because roost
ers will tight and every boy who has a
rooster will hat Ids barlow knife that his
rooster can whip any other rooster io the
■yountry.
Sally Aim, if you want to rid the world
of gamblers, do it by teaching the hoys as j
they grow up that it is dishonorable to !
try to get something for nothing; that1
'.hey should .give an equivalent for every j
hollar they get ; make a social outcast of
ilie gambler and teach the boys to avoid .
him. Condemn gambling as bitterly as :
you like, hut for pity sake, don't b« oo
narrow as to lay the blame for gambling !
