Col. Henry L. Perry, clerk of the Superior court at Vance county, in an interview Tues any with the Daily Now* representa tive. stated that a permanent memo rial in the form of a public library had been decided upoi by himself and wife anfl Mrs. H. L. Perry, widow of Henry Leslie Perry, a young and prominent lo<^tl attorney, the son of Col. and Mrs. Perry, who died after an illness extending oTer a period of several years. The library is to be located upon a lot In the heart of the city of Hen derson, and is to be a Joint institu-l tlon for the city of Henc-rson and the c<?nty of Vance. The Jot is the property upon which the young at torney had his office building and is very desirable for an Institution of this kind being located only one half block from tlte main thorough fare of tile city and directly in front of the Vance county court house on Young street, less than one block from the heart of the city. Col. Perry stated that it was the wish of he givers that tut building erected by them be constructed in the form of a unit large enough to serve the present needs of the city and county, in order that it may be added to from time to time as the popula tion increased and the demand called for larger quarters for the institu tion. Col. Perry stated that it is pro posed by the donors to build the first unit with a contribution of $25,008 and to reserve $5,000 of the cash srift for the purchase of books to form i nucleus around which the city in the f'jtur.g may increase to greater pro portions. The proposition has been laid be fore the city council and that -body has a committee working up a re port to be made back to the council as to the only condition attached by the donors of the library, namely, that the city assume the cost of maintenance of the institution at its completion. The sentiment of the city is unanimous in the belief that the offer will be accepted by the city fathers. This is the first gift of its | kind ever made to the city of H?n I derson or county of Vance and it is [ meeting with the hearty commenda tion of the city and county folk alike. ?

At the age of twenty-one he Joined Sandy Creek church of which ho was a faithful member and ever devoted to the work of the Kingdom at home and abroad. Later it being more convenient for him to attend he moved his membership to White Lev el Baptist ehurch where he was an efficient and consistent member and served in the office of deacimshlp ul tll his death. While hts way through life led not over flowery beds of ease yet through out his earthly pilgrimage his every acquaintance knew that he possessed a h(gh orrtor of honesty and fair deal ings on* .who well knew ho* to con trol his temper and did not live for self but recognized hts stewardship I to Qod and his duties to Ms fellow i m?n. Always living the golden rule "do unto others as you would havo them do unto you." Tht> funeral services were held from i-linrch on Saturday afternoon at ?t"i dock conducted by his pastor, K. I \V R.
