TU F. FORK SHOALS LIBRARY
By W. 1). S.
We find iliis sentence in the will of
Thornberry Holling, in the yeur imjl*:
"I give to my nephew, Thornhorry
nil my stock and Interest in 11?? - Kork
Shoal Library association.'' Whleh
was significant of a grunt educational
work of that day. Hooks were few
and quite costly. Charleston being
tin; market, 250 inlOS off, precious
few men wore able to purchase books.
/ o- of lower (ireehvlllo and
upper I,aureus counties formed a joint
stock Company, with a yearly entrance
lee of one dollar.
flood books were bought with tliis
money. Ami tie- library was opened
at Major Micnjah B?rrys' at Cedar
Falls. The association bad staled
meetings every month to let out ami
receive back the books, and to vote
in new members. Every member was
allowed to take out so many books
each months and to return them in
good condition at stated times. The
mod this association slid 1" thl?< coun
ty is beyond computation. The amount
of intelligence ami learning that these
books disemiiuited in the families
of Iteedy river, were plainly shown
in the lives of her citi/ens.
There WOI'C hut few good schools,
the county was thinly settled. The
children had hut a limited education
and this library tilled a want that
could not he easily supplied in any
Other way. It was a good educator,
and did a splendid work. Like many
other things after its usefulness was
over, it opped off the stage of action.
