OF LOSS FROM GREAT OLYMPIC STOMI
»>
The forms have been removed
from the concrete work of the base­
ment of the new library building,
and the structure begins to take on
the appearance of the substantial
structure which it is to be. The pipes
for the heating from the plant in the
courthouse are also being laid.
The rummage sale, held on Satur­
day for the benefit of the library,
stands as the splendid achievement
of a community or county united in a
common interest, and the result will
be shared by all, in the additional
comforts and conveniences which can
now be incorporated in the library
building, which is being erected on
the courthouse square. As it is to be
everybody’s library, everybody has
seemed inclined to lend a hand in
helping to make a grand success of
the plan adopted for raising the ne­
cessary funds. Great praise is due
the managers, Mrs. C. F. Nutting and
Mrs. G. S. Eaton, for their efficient
handling of the affair. Their com­
mittees in charge of the ten depart­
ments, wsre well and wisely chosen,
as was apparent from the well equip­
ped booths at the beginning and the
remarkable financial showing made
by every" booth at the close of the
sale. Women of both town and coun­
try composed these committees,
and their faithful work is deeply ap­
preciated. The cooperation of the
schools was enlisted, and they gave
valuable assistance.
Their booth
was a popular one. Sincerest thanks
are due Mr. Smith for the use of a
large portion of his fine garage,
without charge, for this sale. Trans­
portation ia an important item in an
affair of this kind, and the women
are Indeed grateful to the Isham
Transfer Company, which gave so
freely of its time and the use of it*
vans in carrying articles to and fro.
In offering to take charge of and
serve the dlbner, in connection with
this sale, the Rebekahs solved the
problem to everyone’s satisfaction.
The dinner was a good one, and so
well patronlxed many had to be turn­
ed away at the last as the supply of
food had given out. The Chamber
of Commerce generously donated the
use of its rooms tor the dinner.
It is hard to know where to stop In
giving thanks for all the help so
cheerfully rendered, and for the gen­
erous patronage of the public; but
let everyone know who assisted in
any way. by work, contribution or
patronage, that each effort was ap­
preciated. and that it helped to swell
the net proceeds of the result which
amounts to the gratifying sum of
1900 cash tn hand, with the prospect
of a few dollars additional, from var­
ious sources.
