PENCIL POINTERS.
Items Served up in Short Order for the
Busy Millions.
A gentleman of some literary dis¬
tinction observed in the presence of
the scribe a few days ago that Con¬
yers was now indeed a reading place.
The library, he continued, has crea
ted an ever yearning desire for in¬
formation. The continuous stream
of visitors to and from the library
is .sufficient proof of the st atement
that we are fast becoming a highly
cultured people.
On the same line, wo are informed
by Dr. Lewis A. Lee, the librarian,
that the library to keep up fully
with the demands ot the reading
public must be replenished. New had.
books are needed and must be

membership is nearlv 200 strong.
Bv this it will be. seen that each
member of the library association
by virtue of one dollar bus become
the owner mf 3 or 4 choice volumes,
and is given the use of about 700
others in addition. The library
ought to embrace Jib 000 volumes,
taking in the whole range of lit.era
tttie. It is as easv now to increase
the library to 10,000 books as it
was originally to create the present 1

■agreed that the most satislaetoi \
w-ttv is to lew a nominal due, sav
5 Ueis pet year, on each membership.
Some have suggested the doubling
ofthemembersbip, thus making the
dues $1. Others, with equal earnest¬
ness, contend that 25ct dues are
sullieient. The majority, however, will,
seem to favor 50ct dues, as it
from* tt membership of 200 , give
about $100 worth of new books year
ly to'the library. In case some re
fuse to pay t he dues,provided they are
levied, will be denied the'privilegc of
reading the additional books. This
works upon the idea that those who
buy the books are entitled to read
them. Of course, this will in no wise
,
lessen the ; ownetship of each mem
her in titc library as,it-now .stands.
The question of dues is one the mein
bers will sooner or later have to deal
w i til.
The young people of 1 he city have
been very imliistriousyn working the
library tip and making it as it is a
success. None have been truer or
more .faithful than Young Dr. Lee,
And his opinion is entitled to more
than ordinary consideration, as he is
personally conversant several with wishes each in

A little more on this literary line.
A Chautauquan Circle or dub lias
been organized in town, Among
the leaders may be named l’rof. 'I'.
D. O'Kelley and wife, the Misses
Peek. Dr. J. L. Rodgers, amt Misses
Lizzie and Ella Davidson. Others
wo understand have connected them¬
selves with the circle. Ills purely
! a literary society, if so it may be
called. The members may unite or
take separate branches of study,
They are required, however, all to an
swer.n given percentage of ques¬
tions, and these questions pertain sub
directly to the most important
jeets ot the world. The whole cur
rieulum may be wished through with
in four years, when the members ate
given diplomas as to their real stand
tug. There can be no cheat as ev
erv lesson is submitted in writing.
: It. is to be hoped the circle will prove
1 ! :i valuable addition to our town. It
has talent enough, however, to make
a strong literary society, independ
ent of any Chautauquan instruction.
It mav he said that the Cbautau
qiian circle is a step forward from

An exchange gives this descrip¬
tion ol the influence of a good life:
The effect of a good life is seen even
in this world. There are faces that
we love to look upon, though wasted
hv sickness and Crinkled with age.
Phe splendor of a beautiful soul
shines through the crumbling walls
of the body, and the sphere of inno
fence nnd tried virtue flows forth
a s delicious fragrance from the
heart. Honesty and manly firmness,
unswerving integrity, bright honor,
or tender pity, loving trustfulness,
delicate sympathy, white innocence,
in manifold forms and graces.-shine
through the walls of cla\, and blend
in wondrous beauty in the material
face and form. But the most that
we can see is but little compared
with what really exists within.

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 17(5. I'&bG:
The event of the week in legisla¬
tive circles was Dr. Felton’s bill tax¬
ing Wine rooms ten thousand dollars
which came up Thursday. The dis¬
cussion was very heated, and lasted
all day. Dr. Felton made a most
powerful speech of an hour’s hgigtli,
fully sustain tog his reputation as a
great orator. The bill was tabl-d
by a vote of $4 to 77. Dr.-Felton
gave notice that he would take the
bill from the tulle on the second day
of the summer, session. This was
not a test vote on prohibition in thy
bouse, many avowed prohibitionist*
voting to table the bill.
The senate has read the tax act the se¬
eded time and it will be put on its pas¬
sage today or Monday.
The senate and house have been hold¬

“Such a tiling us anarchy in tho

The reign of law and order in the
literary world is just as necessary as
it is anywhere else. A return,to old
methods is inevitable, and in the fit
lure, as in the past, the works of
the patient student, the midnight
toiler, will be the work that will live.
