Having been by the partiality of kind friends tendered the responsible position of President of the Abbeville Library Association we enter upon its duties with a great deal of doubt as to our abilities in this particular line, but with an earnest and cordial desire to accomplish something toward preserving this noble work of civic upliti, among the concrete realities of the every day life of the city of Abbeville. In accepting the position vacated by Mrs. J. F. Miller, we feel that carrying out her hopes and plans as to the future of the library will be the safest and most satisfactory policy. Mrs. Miller and her untiring helpers have nursed into life and beauty this sacred little flame of knowledge with all the devotion of vestals to the never-dying fire upon their altar. The founders of the Library association have worked and planned not sparing themselves, and their faith has been rewarded richly if counted by the. service rendered to those who use the Library's books. Now that Mrs. Miller has resigned this important work to us, it is quite aatural that we should feel overwhelmed by this great responsibility; but having her still, as an adviser?counsellor, friend we feel that her help and that of her co-workers will reduce this oppressive feeling to one of a strenuous but reasonable nature. Mrs. Miller lays down the Presidency of the Library association at a time when its financial affairs have a balance upon the cash side of the Ledger, there is no red ink_npon the Library's bank account. Therefore, we can assure our friends, the subscribers to the Library, that every dollar they contribute after the small running expenses are met, will be inrested in new\ books. In this connection we wish . the friends and well-wishers of the Library to know that it is desirable that a five foot shelf of South Carolina History for the use of the teachers and pupils in our Gramma/ and High schools shall be established. Perhaps some one could give a Chapman's History of South Carolina? another Webster's History of same, Dr White's Making of Carolina. Logan's History of Upper Carolina. (The Old Stone Church of Pendleton,) Oneall's Annals of Newberry, and Histories of the different countties in our State. This collection would be of the highest value as a reference library both to pupils and teachers. It is earnestly hoped that our young men will become active members of the Library. Reading of the right kind makes our efficiency in any man's work whether that work be in commanding armies or selling dry goods and groceries?in welding tires or selling automobiles or Kentucky mules. It is to be hoped that in these prosperous and happy times with Wilson and Manning elected and when cotton is bringing the highest price in fifty years that this prosper-1 senberg Mercan . )epartment Store I iOE DP ARTMEP DORF DITTMAN SH( WOMEN. oes are so well known in lity needs no mention. ? ow that we have receive) new boots in all widths. >w arrivals are very wel< ?et and prices are advan< % t you to get yours while ipmentwill not arrive ui Come in or phone us. senberg Mercan =B=Sgg-B ?? ity will be reflected in the annual subscription to our Library fund. Our soHcitms: committee will call upon our people and we trust that all v will be as generous now as in the Ipast We feel that the Library aseocia- _ tion has been fortunate in its officers. M TT 3 1 j T M ! xars. xiaraen, oar vaiueu juurtuuiu, is devoted to her work; Mrs. J. Allen :' Long, a Vassar girl brings to her office of Treasurer the training it requires and she could easily qualify as an auditor for any corporation. Mrs. D. H. Hill, our Recording See- s retary, renders the ordinary business proceedings so ineresting that we '? all regret when she finishes reading same. Mrs. A. B. Morse, as VicePresident, is always to be relied upon in every good work, and Miss Helen Smith, our newly elected 2nd VicePresident adds materially to the personnel of our Library association for 1916-1917. So with these splendid young women to do the work we are bopin* to have quite an agreeable and easy time. Yours for the cause, (Mrs. W. 0.) Ella Cox Cromer, President SOMETHING FOR v SUNDAY DINNER Saturday the ladies of the Seceder church will serve oysters in the store iIaa* fit +VlO cnnHw IritptlAfl There will also be on sale rolls at twenty cents a dozen and potato chips at ten cents a bag.
