OUR LIBRARY.
An Inslltatlon which Speaks Vol.
nmts for the Enterprise and Intel
ligence of onr People.
There is no institution in AmericuBof
which its people should feel a greater
pride than tbe Public Library, for it is a
speaking evidenee of their enterprise
and intelligence. A visit to it must im
press the stranger favorably as to the
charaoter of onr people, while upon our
people it is constantly exercising an in
fluence that is calculated to make them
more cultured and refined. A reading
community is always an intelligent and
progressive one.
ITS HISTORY.
On the evening of January 11, 1878, a
few enterprising gentlemen met in the
office of M. Callaway for the purpose of
discussing the feasibility of organizing
a library association and taking some
steps towards its organization. The
meeting was called to order by Dr. E. J.
Eldridgo. After somo discussion os to
the best plan of procedure, Messrs. F.
A. Gyles, John B. Felder, Jas. Fricker,
ation, a rello, something that possesses
general interest, and if eaoh person
would thus contribute their mite a good
collection would soon be made and all
could enjoy whit now is confined to a
few.. We hope our people will take this
matter into consideration.

What Enterprise Will Do.
While the city papers have boen whoop
ing up opera houses, hotels, oil mills,
and numerous other internal improve
ments, the energetio and solid firm of
Oliver & Oliver have been at work like
beavers building additional quarters for
their large and growing trado. A glonco
at their business will show what they are
doing; and theirs is a home enterprise.
By individual effort and good work the
Olivers have built up a reputation in
their line, second to none in the State.
Every piece of work leaving their manu
factory is fully guaranteed aud this with
fair prices is the secret of their success.
We were lately shown a buggy built for
Dr. B. L. Joiner, of Andersonville, which
for durability, lightness and beauty was
a perfect "daisy.” They have a eompleto
stock of material on hand and are pre
pared to take orders for any vehicle from
a hand cart to an omnibus. Success to
Messrs. Oliver & Oliver and their enter
prise.

Judge CharlesP. Crisp.
Batlcr Herald.
We are pleased to notice that this
eminent gentleman, Hon. Charles F.
Crisp, of Americus, On-, has been select
ed to preside at the approaching April
term of Taylor Superior court. Not
that we think him a more competent
gentleman or better qualified than Judge
Willis to fill tbo position, but that it will
give Judge Crisp an opportunity of visit
ing our town, and mingling his thoughts
among our people. The cause of Judge
Crisp having to preside at this term of
tho court, is by the disqualification of
Judge WUlis having been employed as
attorney in a large number of cases in j
our court.
W. P. Burt and B. F. Bell were appointed
a committee to draft a plan of organiza
tion. and Messrs. M. Callaway, C. M.
Wheatley. A. W. Smith, J. F. Pickett
and S. C. Cooper wore appointed a com
mittee to solicit contributions and mem
bers.
January 16th another meeting was
held, at which time the committee on
organization reported a constitution, j
which was adopted, aud a permanent or- j
ganization effected by the election of j
Thornton Wheatley as president, E. J. |
Eldridgo and C. W. Haneook vice-preai- J
dents, Jus. Fricker secretary, W. J. Dib
ble treasurer, D. C. N. Burkhalter, J. L.
Granberry, Allen Fort, J. E. Hall, C. M.
Wheatley, W. P. Burt, A. Hirsch, B. F.
Bell and F. A. Gyles directors.
Alter several weeks spent in securing
n charter, soliciting contributions, and
other preliminary work, the library v;an
opened in the room upstairs over B. C.
Black's and E J. Eldridge’s store, which
room was tendered to them free for ono
year by Mr. J. A. Kendrick. Miss Em
ma Bylander was the first Librarian. At
first the library was small, consisting
chiefly of books donated, but tho little
money at tho disposal of tho directors
was judiciously spent, and it grew in
size and popular favor.
About two years after the organization
of the association a subscription was
raised among tho business men. a lot
was purchased on Jackson street, near
the square, on which was erected a neat
and substantial building, to which the
library was removed, thus makiDg it a
permanent institution. The lot being
of good size, affords room for a flower
plat and croquet ground.
THE LIBRARY
Passing inside the building, we enter
a large room neatly carpeted, rending
tables and chairs occupying the centre,
while around the sides are arranged the
racks which hold the books. There are
now 140-1 volumes in tho library, com
prising nil classes oi literature—history,
travel, biography, poetry, fiction, works
of reference—while there aro constantly
being added all the most valunble new
works of the day. It is tbo aim of the
officers to make tbo library a means of
instruction, and to that ond tho greatest
care is taken in the selection of books.
In fiction only the best class is se
lected, that in which the teuohiugs aro
ofa pure moral character. Of periodi
cals the association receives regularly
the following : Lippincott'n, Scribner's,
Littel's Living Age, Harper's, Frank Les
lie’s Lady's, Peterson’s, Frank Leslie's
Popular, Frank Leslie’s Pleasant Hoars,
Eclectic, St. Nicholas Wide Awake,
Frank Leslie's Sunday, North American
Be view, Blackwood’s, Atlantic* Edin
burgh Bevicw, British Quarterly, Gold
en Days, Harper’s Young People, The
Australian, Illustrated Sydney News,
Harper's Weekly, Harper's Bazar, London
Illustrated News, Frank Leslie’* Illustra
ted Newspaper. These periodicals re
main upou the tables, to be read in the
room, for one month, when they are al
lowed to be taken out by tbe members.
With, all this current-literature, the li
brary room is a pleasant place in which
to spend an evening, and we are gr&tiflod
to slato that many avail themselves of its
privileges.
OLD ROOKS.
Among a number of rare old books in
the library we notice a Latin Bible print-
eel in 1683, the engravings in which,
although of comparatively rude design,
are wonderfully well printed. A rare
and interesting volume is a Black Letter
Bible of 1639, the type used being what
is known as old English, and resembling
what is now known as Gorman text. A
History of the World, written by Sir
Wulter Raleigh and printed in 1687, is
soeiation, tor in no other way can they
so cheaply procure the same amount of
good reading matter. Every citizen
should feel proud of this library and do
all he can to increase its interest and in
fluence, for it is a growing monument to
the taste and intelligence of tbe people
of Americus. Its founders builded wiso-
ly and well and deserve more than mere
thanks for their unselfish work.

The Bridge Question.
Editor Recorder: While reading the
last two issues of the Republican we were
forcibly reminded of the assertion once
made by Josh Billings, that "the advice
market is always over stooked, the sup
ply exceeding the demand.”
We refer to the voluble advice offered
the City Council concerning what dispo
sition to make of the Flint Biver Bridge.
We happen to know that the best aud most
earnest efforts of the Couneil for the post
two months have been directed toward
the proper solution of this vexed ques
tion.
The editor of the Republican advisee
the Council to sell the bridge to Sumter
and Dooly counties. Does he know that
the counties named refused to tako the
bridge, simply upon a guarantee to keep
it in good condition for a term of years
Ue*say8 if theso counties won’t buy it,
then soil it to sombody else, even "at a
reduced price,” (whioh we understand to
mean below cost.) Does he know that
the Connoil made earnest efforts to dis
pose of the bridge to private parties, with
the one leading condition that it be kept
open to travel, and that the best offer re
ceived to put it ana keep it in good re
pair a termjof years was only $50.00 por
annum—$25.00 loss than tho annual in
surance upon the bridge whioh the pro
posed contract required the eity to pay ?
Again, would the articles in tbe Republi
can referred to tend to aid tbe Council
in disposing of tho bridge to an advonb
age? We think not, as evidenced by the
following extract from tbo one in yester
day’s issue: "To tell tbe truth, tbe Flint
Biver Bridge is dead stook—has woefully
failed to eome up to our anticipations,
and the sooner we get rid of it the bet
ter.” Tbo Couneil does not share the
opinion entertained by the Republican*
that the Bridge "is dead stock.” The re
ceipts from it last year wero over $900.00,
when any one with even a basket of eggs
coming to Americus was allowed to pass
free coming and going.
The Council has never been disposed
to part with the bridge without securing
to the city tho advantages for which it
it was built. Foiling in their efforts to
mako a satisfactory disposition of It, they
are now having it thoroughly repaired,
and in 30 days or less it # will again be
open to travel; and unless wo mistake
tho capabilities of the bridge and the
