Whirlwind Cam paign to Be Waged. A meeting of the library associa tion and the trustees of tbo library was held last night in the library room.

'ends' were eliminated at the meeting last night and we are going to have it," said a lady who has given the library much of her time while discussing ; the matter this morning. "When the ladies go af- retf anything they usually get it and we are going after a building for the library." she continued.
