centered In tonight's deliberations In
the Public Library parlors,.
A large attendance of members lls ex
pensed and Just as many more as care
to come are cordially Invited, as the
directors want the entire public to be
come eufWceutly Interested In the li
brary a* to assist them In pulling
the old Institution out of debt.
An election will be held tonight to
choose a new board of directors and offi
cers for the ensuing yeir, the new offi
cers to take charge at once, as the term
of the present officers expires tonight.
The, present directors, and Officers have
already announced that they will nerve
no longer unless more Interest Is man
ifested In the library's -affairs and some
effort made to relieve the.tnstttuUon of
debt-and make" It eelf-sustalnlng. This
I'e -.m to be. indeed, a serious, state, of
affairs, and It Is too evident that oonve-
u.w..s uave to be done tonight, or
the library's doors will be closed.
■ DIRECTORS' REPORT.
The Telegraph Is able to publish this
morning a report of the'dlrectops, which
will be (submitted at tonight's meeting.
It might not be amiss to suggest that
the report be carefully studied before
hand by those who Intend to go to to
night's meeting, in order that they may
act intelligently without delay. The re
port Is as follows:
,To the Members of the Macon Public
Library and Historical Society: We
herewith present to you the condition
of the library at .this date. In doing so
you will see at once the necessity of
taking active measures It the library Is
to remain open. The floating Indebted
ness of the library Is less at this time
than it has been for years. In fact, It
oan be readily liquidated If the current
expenses are provided for. This done.
It can be made an Institution of greater
good to the community than ever be
fore. But this Is the stumbling block.
The present floating Indebtedness of
the library Is as follows:
Interest on coupons, due July 1.
1891 $300.00
Acount of Wilders Sons. (In
dispute) (about) 125.00
Claim of Sanford, ex-librarian, of
which no pecord can be found,
(sibout) 10.00
Total ....$405.00
. Against this there remains about $300
in unpaid' subscriptions to the interest
on bonds, some of which can be col
lected by law. If the library wishes to
Institute legal nrocoeulrtcs against its
subscribers to the funds.
The current expanses of the library
are as follows:
Interest on coupons $ 600.00
Librarian's salary 400.00
Assistant librarian and Janitor, 200.00
Insurance 125.00
Sundries 200.00
Total ...... *.,. .'$1,525.00
Against which we now have an In
come of $180.00 from rent of the store
and from membership dues. The pres
ent membenShlD of the library is but
166. the lowest It bus ever been, leaving
a deficiency of about $150, without pro
viding for any new books, periodicals
or newspapers.
The $000 Interest on the bonds, which
has heretofore been provided for by tho
subscriptions, will now have to be
raised by other means. ■
Thera Is no Institution In the county
from which more general good can be
obtained than from the Public Library.
We therefore think an effort should be
made to get from the olty and county
authorities each an appropriation to
wards the maintenance of the library.
In return for which it would be. In the
opinion of the board, proper t*> allow
the public school children of this county
to draw books from the library free.
If funds cannot bo secured In this man
ner it will be necessary for a proper
committee to be appointed at once to
obtain sufficient membership to make
tho library self-supporting. Jttls mem
bership can be obtained by making a
thorough canvass of the city. Unless
something In the manner above sug
gested is accomplished, and that at
once. It la useless to continue the strug
gle. as Wilder & Son now have the
books of the library levied upon to sat*
lafy tholr debt. The constitution calls
for the election of a new board on No
vember 12, and unless the members of
rive library and the public at large show
a disposition to assist the dlreotoni, who
are to be elected at that time, they
will at once And It necessary to clone
the doors of the library. The present
board has reduced the floating debt
from over $2,600 to $450.00, beddes meet
ing all current expenses and expending
over $200 In new books pnd periodicals.
It Is a mistaken Idea to charge the di
rectors of the library ns being respon
sible for Its present condition. From the
facts es above presented It will be seen
limit'they have done their whole duty.
It refete entirely with the Individual
members of the library and the citizens
at large to say what shall be done. It
Is not reasonable to expect-a very few
to carry the burden any longer, and un
less (he people take the proper interest
and give the library immediately the
assistance it deserves It will soon be a
thing Uf the oast.
JrfjF’H 8* 5g that will
J* held Monday ni*ht at 8 o’clock at
the library parlor* all citizens of Ma
con. whether members of the library
or not. who are interested to seeing this
lnstitutfoa maintained, will come and
paradpite in the meeting. Respect
fully submitted. nwpeot
D- O. Hughes, President.
BIG POSSUM SUPPER.
The Firemen's Christmas Programme
of Entertainment.
Perhaps there Is no .event booked for
the holiday season that Is being more
anxiously awaited than the 'possum
barbecue to bo given by tho firemen
of No. J engine House on Christmas
night to the mayor and council, lire
commlsa>ners and their newspaper
friends.
Already the firemen bXve eighteen
of the finest, fattest ‘possums that
ever chewed a persimmon cooped np
at the engine house, and they have
ordered thlrty-fiTe more to bo deliv
ered tomorrow, making In all fifty-
three 'possums. These animals arc
Or. Price's Cream Baking Powfier
Most Perfect Made.
being stall fed. and the boys say that
John Stlrks has worn all the skin off
bis knees climbing persimmon trees
to get food for the 'possums.
Fifty-three fine, fat 'possums nicely
barbecued and flanked with yellow
yards' will make a supper fit for the
gods. No king or high potentate, an
cient or modern, ever sat down to a
more delicious or appetizing feast. It
will be a temperance feast, too, as the
boys will not serve Intoxicants, but
they are preparing to have several gal-,
lonx of prime perslmmou beer on tap
as a chaser to the Juicy meat.
The supper will be purely informal
and every man will bo expected to eat
at least one whole ’possum. There
will be no speechifying or ceremony,
and every man will be .oQulred to put
In all his time eating, and eat they
trill, for who wants to do anything
but eat when there is a dish of fine
fst ’possum before him? The firemen
will spread themselves in rnaktug the
supper tlie most enjoyable thing of the
kind ever, attempted in Macon.
While speak,ng of the flromeu's 'pos
sums, it might be Interesting to some
people to know soraeffii'ig ubout tho
zoo at No. 2 engloo house. Thera Is
not a day in the woes that hundreds
of people do not visit tho zoo, and yes
terday there ws« a crocd there all day.
Their collection consists of Ore well
trained trick coous. Some of their
feats are remarkable, such as climbing
a greasy pole backwards, trapeze and
horizontal bar performances and other
difficult tricks: two fine monkeys, one
of which is the “artful dodger" which
furnished so much amusement for the
crowds nt (ho park during tho Dixie
Fair. The other one is “Jaoko," the
only monkey font has ever accom
plished tho wonderful feat of turning
a triple backward somersault standing
flat-footed on The ground. Then there
is the. great -Hindoo bird, the only one
In the United Stales. This bird was
captured off the Hindoo Islands some
time ago. It Is a remarkably hand
some bird, and has .become thoroughly
domesticated e«d has been taught to
do several difficult tricks.
Then there 14 the fox. Th's Is ono
of the most valuable of tbe whole col
lection. His Intelligence Is really ns
tonlshlri'g. He has been taught to
climb me pole, catch rats, climb trees
and catch Sleds and walk a. slack
wire.
They also have prairie dogs. Tpito
little animals have adopted Macon as
.their home and are perfectly accll-.
mated. They, too, are well tra'ned!
Their ability t’o learn la Quito marvel
ous. They have built them an under-
ground house and established Quite
an interesting family. They may be
seen every day gamboling thou: their
enclosure and performing on their dif
ferent appliances furnished by tlie fire
men. •
1 Then there are the rhbbhs. llisy
, are. of the Texas Jack variety and sre
trained to play leap frog, uaro ar.d
hound and various other tr-cks.
The two large rabbit nawks are Quito
the feature of the collection. They
are trained to fly around lo dm other
engine houses to carry small packages
and notes for the men, and they are
as accurate end faithful ns ;b» finest
carrier pigeon. The oilier hawk, which
Is of the “blue darter” variety, is 09
yet (Juite wild, but the firemen expect
great things of him In tho near future.
Thu firemen also have a two-year-old
deer, which was raised on tie Cyclo
nets, farm and placed on exhibition at
the fair. This deer was purchased by
Chief L. M. Jones and presented to ilia
firemen by him.
The firemen have just closed a trade
for two cub bears, which they are .ex
pecting dally. These nears aw from
Florida and will add very much to
their collection.
The six-legged cow which was left
over from the fair will shortly appear
to their collection and will cnperUmts
her ahare to the Interest taken In the
collection by foe people who dally
vk» the engine house.
The den of eighteen 'posiums that
the firemen are training to lake a
conspicuous part In a oarttarue on
Christmas night oompletos the zoo.

bidding his wife good-by, he rushed out
Into.thc street, and as he did so miw a
stranger driving a white horse to a road

stopped to ask what was wanted. With
out ottering any explanation Col. Dun-
ean told hlmto get out of the cart and
let him have it. and es he began to get

do with his horse. "Make out your bill
and come to the Volunteers' Armory for

he whipped the nag Into a dead run. In

There Is probably no more general

In the securing of success many things play

A Good'Education i
Mltfctag helps the young man, just
commencing the battle of life, more than a
thorough knowledge of the subjects the world
Is Interested In. Unfortunately in too many
cases the attaining of this knowledge or
■ education Is an expenss too great to be
. considered.
To such as these tho offer of The
Constitution to supply tho new Encyclopaedia
Dritannlca at the wonderful rate of 10 cents a
day affords a solution of the question m be

A Well-Read Man
No nan can peruse It even casually without
being astonished at the Information he will
gain.
Ten minutes with the Encyclopaedia
Brltannica will convince the ordinary man of
* two things—first, of how little he really knows j
second, how much there Is he can readily
acquire. Then, too, the Information may be
relied upon. It is absolute authority upon all
subjects.
Dr. Lyman Abbott says on this point: M Ths
