There Is occasionally a thing that the
editor don't know, of course, but then
there are so many things that he does
know without half trying that In spite
of the cold, cold world he could be as
warm as any in the bunch. Now,
really, if an editor told everything he
actually knew, he would be burned
out between each edition, Some
people subscribe for the home paper to
show their appreciation, of what the
editor has to say; others because they
appreciate what he -tight say, and
don't. It's a queer world; everyone
says what he pleases about the editor.
Ex.
We are pleased to see so much interest taken in "rural free delivery,"
There'is nothing that would be of
more benefit to the state and nation
than this same measure. It will bri ng
the farmer—the feeder of the earth—
into touch with the throbbing, beating pulse of this busy world; make
man conversant with the various commercial and business transactions of
the age; brinu to him a portion of the
advantages of this city and town, and
eventually pave the way for his advent into political affairs. When that
time comes, political chicanery and
bribing lobbiests will be unknown,
and the affair of state and nation will
be given the careful attention of a
body of honest men, who fvill be
trusted by a constituency tbat no
political machine can control—Oxford
Leader.

THE NEW LIBRARY.
Displayed to the Public Last Friday Evening—The Book Social.
Last Friday evening the G. A. R.
hall was crowded with an enthusiastic
crowd of book loving people who
listened to a brief and informal but
pleasing literary and musical program,
and examined the books which have
lately been added to the library of the
Library Association. The success of
this movement has exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine of its
promoters, About twenty new members were secured. The Library Association has now about one hundred
members, and together with the books
of the State Traveling Library, these
members now have access to nearly
300 volumes of the latest and best
books, by the leading authors upon
history, travel, fiction, science and religion.
Space will not' permit a complete
list of the books to be given here:
Among the books are histories of
"Greece," ^'Alexander's Empire,"
"Egypt," "Lincolfi," "Cleopatra" and
"Josephine." Among the "religious
books are Meyer's "P/Jal," "Life of
Patoh," "Miracle of Missions," "Paul,
Herald of the Cross/ Along the lines

up-to-date booki, including, "The
"Piiirto Rico, Its Re-
"Philippines-," "Siberia,"
Sla/fo   Girl,"   and   many
Workers,"
sources,"
"Chinese
others. The juvenile books are especially fine among which are the "Panzy"
books, and the "Youth's Companion
Series*" The flctionts very select and
popular, being the latest and best, including "David Harum." "Richard
Carvel." "Hugh Wynne," "Janice
