MEETING IN INTEREST
OF CARNEGIE LIBRARY.
Movement for Library Given Impetus
by Enthusiastic Addresses
of Winder Citizens.
Last Tuesday evening a Large and
fepresentative Winder audience met
at the School Auditorium for the pur
pose of devising plans for securing
4? Carnegie library for this city.
Mayor W. O. Perry presided over
the meeting and Prof. Sidney M'aug
hon was made secretary.
Enthusiastic addresses were made
by Messrs. Lewis Russell, John P.
Yarbrough, John H. Wood, W arren H
Toole, W. L. Blasingame, S. T. Ross,
W. H. Faust, W. C. Horton, J. P.
Cash, W. O. Perry, W. M. Holsen
beck, Mrs. J. H. Wood, Mrs. W. C.
Horton and others.
A committee consisting of Mrs. J. H
Wood, chairman, W. O. Perry, Prof. |
Cash, Prof. Holsenbeck and Prof. S.
F. iMaughon, was appointed by the
mass meeting to take charge of the j
matter and push iM to rapid comple- j
tion. Another committee consisting of
Col. W. H. Quarterman, W.*L. Bias-;
ingame and Col. L. C. Russelld was
appointed to secure a suitable lot!
upon which the building is to be
erected.
The entire citizenship of Winder
is enthusiastically interested in se
curing tl is splendid addition to the
intellectual forces of the city. There
is scarcely a dissenting voioe in
Winder to this propoition to se
cure an adequate library for our
people.
When Winder unitedly goes after
anything she gets it. There has
been absolutely no more unanimity ol
opinion on any enterprise for years
Ijtagil is found manifested in this. A
library is needed. The people feel
this to be true, and what is a necess
ity to the welfare and best interests
of the city is never hard to secure.
The civic pride of the city will
ybe strengthened >by its acquisition,
and the building will add to the beau
ty of the cityt and also to the taxa
ble value of all city property. As to
the educational value of a library it
cannot be estimated.
No more intensely enthusiastic
meeting, nor one in which there was
more, concrecated fixedness of thought
and purpose was ever held in the
city. Watch Winder win.
