The free rest and reading room opened on July 2 , 1906 , with a fine collection of magazines and papers and some books. Through the kindness of our editors , the county papers were on hand each week , and most of the time the daily papers were donated and ap preciated by many who came in to read. Nothing but good litera ture was on the table. A hearty welcome was given to all and no trouble was spared to make people ple comfortabble , after a long dusty ride , or a ride through the rain or cold , or to feel some moth er's arms occasionally from a sleeping infant , since conveniences for all these emergencies were at hand. Without counting anyone more than once the number of callers received during the month of July were 135 , August , 175 ; September , 190 ; October , 200. Sent several boquets to the sick ; gave away 65 large packages of good reading matter. Financial statement will be given later.
