THE FREE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.The determination to send Dr. A- P. L. Pease to Chicago to secure donations to the public library of the future is a reminder that several years ago the Srst steps were taken to organize at institution, the actual progress, however, being limited to the securing of a large and well written charter, to which ^is attached a particularly large and red official seal. The records show that on January 1st, 1887, Salmon Hunt, Frank L. Baldwin, Clement Russell, Robert W. McOaughey, Joseph Coleman, John G. Warwick, Edward Kaoh-ler, A. T. Skinner, and 0. M. Russell, as incorporators associated themselves in accordance with the laws of the state. The corporation was called “the Massillon Free Library Association.n The capital stock of $25,000 was to be divided into 5,000 shares of $5.00 each, to be used in defraying the expense of the library, and purchase of books. The citizens named signed the articles of agreement, acknowledged their signatures, obtained the aforesaid charter with the large red seal, and there the matter was allowed to rest. Some people think it has rested long enough.
