The Library Association needs help from the citizens of Marion. Nobody questions that Marion needs the Library but it takes money to keep it up. If you will pay one dollar a year it can be done, if not, the Library will have to be abandoned. This Library keeps two hundred good, new, well selected books on the shelves all the time. It receives a hundred new books every three months. As many as thirty books have been taken out in one day. The Library is open from 1 o'clock to 5:30 for six days in the week. The book fines pay for the rent of the books but money is needed for room rent, heat, and to pay the Librarian. You send one dollar to Mrs. J.D. Saggau or Mrs. T.W. Butcher for this good work at once.

Mrs. Peter Isaac of Hillsboro met with a serious accident at her father's mill last Thursday. She was standing near the tumbling-rod that runs from the mill to the elevator and the wind blew her dress into the gearing, which caught there and was wound about the rod, and in a moment her body was pulled thru under the rod, and forced to follow its revolutions. Her husband, who was working nearby, rushed to her rescue, but only succeeded in freeing her from her appalling situation after she had twice been whirled around the rod. All clothing was torn from her body, at least one bone broken, and the body covered with bruises. However, the doctors think she will recover.

Family Titles
Some little girls were boasting of their respective families. They had passed from clothes to personal appearance and finally came to parental dignity. The minister's little girl boasted, "Every package that come for my papa is marked D.D."
"And every package that comes for my papa is marked M.D." retorted the daughter of the physician.
Then followed a look of contempt from the youngest of the party. "Huh," she exclaimed, "Every package that comes to our house has three letters on it. C.O.D."
