Special to The Farmer Redding June 17 A site for the Redding free public library now housed in the Urmpawaug chapel has been donated by Theodore Adams.

The fund has grown through entertainments and assessments levied by Twain. The Harpers recently donated a thousand books, now catalogued by Mr. Grumman, bringing the total to nearly two thousand volumes with promises of more from publishers. Building will require about $4,000.
