.Nut” wishes to tell you about a pet
idea that he has been nursing, fond¬
ling and dreaming over.—We need
u Library and Literary Society at
Porterdale, we want it,we must have
it. Not just a few old books and last
peat's magazines, but a real Library;
walls lined with shelves filled with
good books on irntn.s and various sub
jects, as well as good old-fasbiond
and modern fictlon.Tables and rteks
filled with all the best current mag¬
azines and periodicals. This Library
could, be used as a reading room and
meeting place for the Literary gociet.'
and other purposes, we believe
that if we can get the people inter*
ted aud get the ltall started to roil
ing we will have just such a Library
and society in the near future. No
one can find fault with such a prop¬
osition. Even the chronic kicker
must admit that it would beau influ¬
ence of endless good to the entire
town, from the smallest school child
to the oldest inhabitant It would be
especially attractive to the boys and
girls ami Hie younger married set.
\\"e believe it would bav'e a decidedly
good effect upon the community in
general and tend to bring to the
surface the best we have in us and
cultivate it, broaden our ideas and
help us to understand one another
and the world and make life more
sociable and pleasant.

kiddies; day nursery; school of mu¬
sic; school of domestic science; a
well equipped hospital; pure filtered
city wafer—But what’s she use of
trying tv recall all our conveniences?

is certainly in the front line when
when it comes to up to-date improve¬
ments and making cond'tlons pleasant

of this.

We beg to present to you the follow
, ing literary gem. contributed by our
esteemed friend, Mr. Farmer, of the
office force. We agree with him en¬
tirely that “the world will appreciate
it.” In fact we could not wag Along
without the Farmers and their contri¬
butions, therefore we produce his note
verl>attem:
“Great agitation sways in our midst
because it seems Impossible for any
one to guess the identity of “The Local
Nut.” It is safe to say. however,
that' he is a clever fellow—or fellow
ess—whoever he or she may be.
"It has been said that a certain
Farmer was It. but that cannot be—
it is impossible—and you all know
the reason why. No former candidate
for the great office of Justice of the
Peace would be guilty. It would kill
him politically; for it might be his
intention to run for something with
more honor attached to it. such as
Milk Inspector or Captain of the Bf.se
ball team.
“Now, folks, we are not goiug to
worry oho this gink is. honest, we
aint. but we will subscribe to the pa¬
per and read nt with interest: for we
surely will find what we are looking,
for.”
But we do not agree with him when
he says, “we f re not going to worry
who this gink is,” because everybody
knows tliat the whole office bunch
from the pompous little Ernest Hegel's
to the office cat. are all guessing who
it is. and accusing each other, aud
oh. my, it is just too comical to sec
how careful they arc r.bout what they
say.

Our popular young frien. Mr. W. P.
Ivey, has launched out upon the seas
of the bueslnes* world in great shape:
He la* just, received one hundred

mill race. He is also negotiating with
Mr. C. L. Folium for his services ns
