Change in Library Hours
The library hours for the summer
months will be 9 a.m. to 11:80 a.m.,
arid ' :',u P*m* t0 7 ',,,M done
for the convenience of the public as
earlier morning and later afternoon
hours suit better. Children under
sixteen years must bring a note from
their parents promising to be responsible
for books borrowed and seeing
that they are returned on time. May
we ask the public a few honest questions:
Why do you keep the books out
overtime, and often not return them
at all?
Why do you get a new book from
the rent shelf, keep it out until It's
old and impossible to rent again?
Do you not know that this is a
great injustice to your institution and
a bar to its usefulness and progress !,
It is also an injustice to the librarian
who Is held responsible for therm. 1
We have just closed the most popular
and successful season in thd
history of the library and the librarian
continues to receive letters and
gifts for the institution from those
who enjoyed it last winter. May we
appeal to your sense of justice by
asking you to return the library
books? It is not among the librarian's
duties to go put and collect the
books, though she sometimes does it.
You would be offended if a committee
called and asked to look over your
. bookshelves. The charge carda are
all at the desk, but it is the desire
of the management to make the institution
popular, it is yours and we
want you to derive every pleasure
and benefit from it; but we also want
you to be just and consider the rights
of others. >A sage of old said: "A
wrongdoer is often one that has left
something undone, hot always he that
has done something." 'Search your
book-shelves and see if you haven't
left something undone.
Jack Extine, white, dreamed that
he heard the cry of Are, and jumped
to his death from a Window in the
Alexandria Hotel in Cjkeenville Wednesday
night. He lsfnded on the roof
of the porch and jumped to the pavement
below and died in seven hours
from injuries.

year's work. Much work is yet need^
ed on the D. A. 0R. hall,; old court
house, and this the chapter will lend
its effort to next year. Mrs. Frank

that' committee.

and placed tmp9>ition in front
of the downstairs entrance.

interest and aid.
Miss Helen Phelps gave an account
of the various activities ofv the general
