offer of $5. 000. with which to erect a
library. It was the largest meeting
ever held in the history of the town
and for a long time it‘looked as little
crowd would be so great in the little
to ballot.
not because of tainted money but sim-
ply because the residents of Newton
did not wish to have a library at the
other end of the town and they so state
at! at the meeting.
Dr. '.C T. Payne was chosen chair
man of the meeting and Thaddeus Bell
was clerk. The call of the meeting
was read and accepted and the ques-
ject was taken up to be threshed out
at some length.
Mark D. Norman and Rev‘ H. B.
Brown explained the advantages of the
project at length.
been published from time to time In
The Sentinel. There was one addition
to the advantages and that was the
scheme of the library board to put
into effect the school distribution sys-
tem whereby people living in the out-
lying districts could get what books
they wished by having a child apply
for them at the nearest school house.
William Andrews. who led the Nore-
ton contingent than replied and char:-
ed that the library people had cons
cooled a scheme to vote for the brlda
over Good Wives river If those In
vor of the bridge would vote for. the
library.
that he heped that if the library peo-
ple had any conscience they would not
vote under such a shameful pact. lie
was also of the opinion that. the se-
lectmen were not proper persons to

worked misuse was not the may one In town. 3'1?
“and very pointedly alluded that the
consciences of some other people did
not lie so near their pockets contain»
ing the dough.
Andrews, who. at the close of his
speech had been thoroughly biased
and cat called. was now made the butt
of laughter at the turn affairs had
taken.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
was chairman of the meeting Dr.
Payne who is from Norolon, nine new
the ranks of the obstructionlsts wnv
crlng at Mr. Andrews' defeat. so he
addressed the meeting and opposed
the library project strongly. He also
opposed building the bridge. both on
the ground of economy.
Mark Norman asked Dr. Payne if a
man worth 010.000 could not afford to
pay a dollar I year for a library In
the town and a man worth fl. 000 could
surely scrape together ten cents some
time durln the year If he was not
very extra agent.
Simon Cooper then spoke in favor
of the library.
lie was followed by William C.
Perry. who spoke in favor of the li
brary and said he was very much as
tonished at Mr. Andrews' statement
that there had been collusion regard
lug the bridge and library projects.
Then came the most startling event
of the evening a speech from a men
who believes public libraries are 1m-
moral. The man was John Pickett a
very pious Darin residm Mr F‘Ickett
objected to 0. library on moral grounds
and said the present one is bad enough.
He told the touching story of a girl

At this point Mr. Pickett. lowered
his voice to the proper pitch to give
due solemnity to the tragic part of
his story and In a grave way said:
"What do you suppose was In that

and love."
Mr. rickett emphasised the last
word and looked around to see the ef-
