The Rockdale Library was cstab
lished about one year ago. On the
9th of May. last year, it was perma¬
nently organized with directors and
officers. At the time of the organi
zation there was about one hundred
subscriptions that had not been ta¬
ken, and, of course this amount of
money was still behind, This
amount is still due and should be
raised at once. There can be no
doubt about the great good accomplished that the
library has already
and it promises in the future to be
of still more benefit.
Last Friday night the directors
of the library met at Dr. Lee’s store
to discuss the best method of pro
moling the interest of the library,
and to discharge the little indebted
ness which has been hanging over
the library since its organization.
The directors resolved themselves
into a soliciting committee to get up
the necessary amount.
Monday night about twenty of the
young people of the city met at Prof.
T. D. O’Kelley’s to organize a Prof. tem¬
porary library 7 association.
O’Keiley was called to the chair and
Dr. L. A. Lee stated the object of
tee meeting. It was unanimously
decided to have an entertainment
for the benefit of the library and a
committee wss appointed to select
the play and characters. This com
mittee have completed their work
and will make a report next Monday
night at the meeting of the associa¬
tion at Prof. G’Kelley’s.
A committee of young ladies were
appointed to solicit subscription to
the library, consisting of Misses Ida
Hudson. Eva Carr, Johnnie Lawson,
Nelie Irwin and Ella Davidson.
This committee will report at the
meeting next Monday 7 .
The play selected is one that will
“bring the house down” in every act,
and the players will perform their
parts perfectly. Every one who
feels an interest in the public ad¬
vancement of the town and county
should not fail to give their hearty
support to this undertaking, and es
pecially their financial influence.
As some seem to be woefully igno¬
rant with regard to who the officers
and directors of the library are we
give them below: Dr. C. H. Turner,
president; J. A. 13. Stewart, vice
president; Dr. L. A. Lee, librarian
and secretary; M. D. Irwin, treasur¬
er. Directors: G. M. Jones, G. W.
Weaver, J. P. Tilley 7 , J. C. Barton,
Grier Quigg, J. ii. Irwin, G. T.
Smith, J. N. Glenn.

Guess I’ll have to tell you how Mr.
Zack Almand has been figuring
around Washington. Well, not long
since they were blessed with a
bouncing baby hoy at their house
and Zack called him Grover, in hon¬
or of the president. Thinking it
would make Mr. Cleveland feel none
the worse, Zack wrote him informing
him of the fact. Mr. Cleveland re¬
plied promptly, thanking him very
kindly for the compliment, also
sends him a cabinet size picture of
himself. I see that the president is
coming south this summer and of
course he will stop in Rockdale and
see bis namesakes for he has a good
many in the county.
Youug David Vaughn happened
to quite a serious accident Wednes¬
day morning. He was out'cutting

he sampled his foot once with an ax.

Oil the accommodation Monday
morning. Monday morning Mr.
Dixon, of Rutledge, came up on the
early train on the lookout for a young
man and a negro, who were wanted
on suspicion of having relieved a Mr.
Harris of fifty dollars at Rutledge
last Friday while he was drunk. The
white man’s name was Garner, and
had been living with Harris several
months. Just before the train the
two appeared and were prom ply ar ¬
rested by Mr. Smith. Garner ac
know lodged to getting twenty-five
dollars, but said that Harris gave it
to him. Mr. Smith succeeded in
getting about nineteen dollars and
thereat Garner claimed to have spent.
Mr. Dixon took the money and re¬
turned, leaving Garner, who went to
some of his relatives in Newton.

Weather like the present is what

A cold of unusual severity which
I took last autumn developed into a
difficulty decidedly catarrhal in all
its charistics, threatening a return
of my old chronic malady, catarrh.

that painful and prevailing disorder.
