Mr. Garlow's address was as follows :
The Asaericaa people are particnlar
ly noted for ealogiziag the dead,
choash in too aaaay instances we fail
to recognize the good qualities of a
neighbor or fallow citizen until he is
dead, and yet, -it has been so since
the crtatioa of Tmaaaiad, becaase ia
the first instance we find that Adam
and Ere failed to appreciate the
beacties of their aarroandings until
the Divine law had been yiolated,
since which tiaae haaaanity has been
a sort of pack-saddle for all sorts of
hardens.
Soon after the great Civil War.
of the sarririag participants
ceirad the idea of setting apart a day
for eulogizing the heroic dead,
scattering flowers upon the graves of
the unfortunate soldier, and perform
ing other charitable deeds conuaemo-
rative of the sacrifice of their lives.
That custom soon spread until it has
become a national affair, aad within
the past few years has been adopted
by nearly every fraternal society.
Scarce a cemetery ia the United
States which has not a mound or
monument aaarkiag the last earthly
abode of a deparaednsBisr. Today,
thousands of people are assembled ia
the burial fields, shedding; tears,
scattering flowers, bowing heads in
sorrow, and doing other kind aad
charitable acts in memory of departed
loved ones, thinking of their good
deeds, and with CHARITY, covering
the errors of weak humanity.
This same CHABlX'Y is the uader
lyinz principle which has brought us
here today. It is the foundation upon
which every fraternal order is builded ;
it has ever been recognized as the
greatest of all human virtues. Ia
every walk of life, 'tis that by which
man is measured. Destroy it, aad
you kill the aaaa. Develop it, aad
vou increase the worth of man. It is
that virtue, above all others, that
actuates all fraternal ism. It is their
one constant teaching. It is the great
arbiter that settles disputes; that
ends wars; that binds up the wounds;
that restores the fragments of nations
and binds thesa into one whole, and
is is that which finally brings man
to his happiest end. It is that which
erected these monuments, -which will
stand when our bodies have crumbled
to earth, and when time shall erase
the name front these marble slabs,
when thev shall crumble to dust, and
this sacred soil, enriched by tears of
sorrow, may respond to labors of
future generations, the spirit will still
live aad the charitable acts of the
sleeper still stand as a monument to
the liTiasT.
Maa hews his way through the
forest of tiaae, scattering here and
there seeds of charity to sfrwiaatp
after he has reached the end of his
journey, aad his deeds are the scones
out of which his saoaument is builded.

The citizens of Columbus, the librar
ian and library board have all labored
together to build up a valuable refer
ence library of the taliay naagaziaes.
The result has been very satisfactory.
We have received by donation and by
way of exchange about 200 volumes.
and there is now in the library 190
complete bound volumes cf magazines.
These together with Pool's index
makes a very complete reference li
brary oa all up to date topics.

A conservative estimate of the ex
penses for the present year is 322.33.
We believe that the levy for the
support of the library should be in
creased that the present efficiency of
the library may be maintained."
This report is certainly very en
couraging when compared with the
condition when the library was first
opened. For more than a year the
interest shown in the library by the
public did not warrant paying a
salary to keep the building open. Very
few books were leaned. Now that
the people of the city have really com
menced to learn the economy, con
venience and real benefit of main
taining a public library, large num
bers of books are out and a praise
worthy interest in the library move
ment is manifest among the citizens.
The library board has asked the
council to increase the tax levy.
The request has been turned over to
the committee on finance who are
said to be favorably disposed toward
an increase. The tax in years past
has not been sufficient to meet the ex
penses, and only throczh the liberality
of citizens who have donated have the
expenses been met.
