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.

Duncan, -who Is staff officer of the Sec ond Georgia. Regiment, The courier found Col. Duncan a't home etek in bed. but told the oervant to deliver Col. Wlley'a -message. The servant did so and In leas time than It take* to tell It Col. Duncan was In ole uniform. Hastily 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 cart. He hailed the stranger, who stopped to ask what was wanted. With out ottering any explanation Col.

Duncan struck the gray nag with the whip and ehe Ki.-irt.--l with a bound. Tho stranger re covered from his surprise this time to eufflolenitiy ask what ha was going to do with his horse. "Make out your bill and come to the Volunteers' Armory for your turnout," yelled Col. Runcatk as he whipped the nag Into a dead run.

There Is probably no more general Ambition In the world, one In feet, that might fairly be called universal, than the desire (hat every men and woman has to succeed In life. In the securing of success many things play a part, but few are more Important than a good •tart To obtain this In these days of colleges universities and schools, nothing Is more essential than 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 four.4 nowhtre else, By a study of Its pages one can become In tbe strictest souse of the term . 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 Encyclopaedia Baltannlca Is without a peer In the whole noble army of encyclopaedias. If Isa reCo^filxdd authority among scientific and literary meo." Do not forget that you can secure the entire twenty-eight volumes at once by paying $5 per month; or fourteen volumes will be delivered at a time for 10 cents a day, payable monthly.
