Evening of Unusual Pleasure.

a hook shower.
During the afternoon many
children came bringing with them
favorite volumes as donations t<>
Winder’s first public library. In
the evening the number was so
greatly increased by Ih<* older pc<
pie that about fifty volumes are
now claimed as a nucleus fo
what we hope to he a large am’
widely used civic library.
Hunch and sandwiches wen
served during tin* hours. The ju
nior members of Winder”s mu
sic lovers added much to the oc
casion by rendering sc.vcraj
pieces on their violins, also giv
ing several recitations. To Miss
Aline Kilgore, Mr. and Mrs. D*
Leisseline, and Prof. Cooper,
many thanks were expressed for
readings, vocal, mandolin and
violin solos.
Although opened under aus
pices of the W. C. T. U. the Read
ing room is public property, sup
ported by the husisiness men of
our city, and it is earnestly hop
ed that every citizen, man, wo
man and child will feel and take
an interest in same, contributing
good books and using same from
time to time.
Miss Grace House is city li
brarian and will gladly record
any donations, as well as list any
hooks wanted by an individual.

out. Burson and Thurmond are
