It is reported on reliable authoiity that Mr. Hugh B. Sasser has been ap pointed postmaster at Senoia. to suc ceed the present incumbent, Mrs. Alice G. Fall, and it is supposed that his term of office will begin July 1. Mr. Sasser is an example of true manhood, honest and upright in all his dealings, and possessing all the qualiteis ' neces sary to make a suitable postmaster for Senoia, and not a dissenting voice have we heard against-his appointment. He is a good bookkeeper and an all-round business man, and we feel perfectly safe in saying he will please the pat rons as well as the Government. He is strictly a Senoia boy, having been reared and educated in our town, and his many friends will be pleased to see him hold this important position. He was an applicant in 1893, but withdrew his application in favor of Mrs. Fall, who was then immediately appointed to the position. Mrs. Fall has held this position for the past sixteen years, which speaks well for the manner in Which she has handled the affairs of the office. Library Notes. During the first quarter of 1909 the Carnegie Library issued 2,992 books— 2,146 fiction, 547 juvenile, and 299 classed literature. Magazines circu lated during the quarter, 856. New membership cards catalogued since Jan. 1, 90. In January the Library board elected as members of the advisory board for the year 1909 the following ladies: Mesdames R. H. Hardaway, W. G. Ar nold, J. W. Bowers, T. E. Atkinson, T. J. Jones, Annie F. Orr, B. T. Thomp son, A. E. Sansburn, T. F. Rawls, H. S. Smith, C. A. Kestier, and Misses Nancv G. Edwards. Mary Goodrum and Eddie North. This board deserves the thanks of the Library, and the reading public generally, for the' effi cient help rendered in the selection of our large list of new books just receiv ed. numbering about 360. While many concessions in recent popular fiction have been made to please the public, yet literary merit stamps the major part of the last order. Quite a number of the new books have been catalogued and put in circulation, but as the work of cataloguing is slow and tedious, there are many still to he catalogued. The Library is indebted to the fol lowing friends for books donated: Mrs. D. T. 1’oole, three works of fic tion ; Mrs. Paul Benson, two; Mrs. C. A. Kestier, two. Also, to Mrs. V. A. Ham, Mrs, Ellen Faver, Mrs. C. A. Kestier, Mrs. R. E. Simms and lit tle Dorothy Leach for beautiful flow ers. Such sweet thoughtfulness is al ways appreciated. Mrs. Sue P. Wright, Librarian.
