The library is well worth the loyal patronage it has _receiyed since its organization, fourteen months. ago, it contains material to suit every ste, whether for juvenile stories, history, travel ,biography or fiction, ai! of which comes from well-known and famous authors. The choral class had a good re- hearsal on Friday night for the con- cert to be repeated in Palermo on Wednesday evening next. Another one was held on Tuesday evening.

As Palertao was the only club to send delegates out- side.of Burlington, the meeting was postponed to some other date within a couple of weeks.
