One Of the ornaments of Yazoo City is its
Library Association. The condition and
prospects Of this establishment speak well in
favor of the literary taste and enterprise Of
the gentlemen of YazOo City and neighbor-
hood. 1t already numbers near fifty mem
berS, and perhaps there are few, if any asso-
Citations Of the kind hereabouts entitled to a
rank above il in point nf talents. science or
literature. Its meetings are held regularly
twice a month, at which times there are al
teFnately adebate and address, the former on
che second and the latter on the first Monday
evenings Of every month. The first address
was delivered by the much lamented late
president of the association, M. B. Hamer,
Esq; the second by the Vice President, DR..
J. w. Barnett, and the third by Mr.. R. Alb
bey. The last mentioned address was pub
ished in our paper of last week.


The Library is as yet small, though we
have no doubt it will before long increase to
= very respectable size, and We think the
day is not far off when nearly every gentle
man in our neighbOrhood of li:era ~ taste or
requirements will be numbered among the
members of the Association.


Most heartily do we congratulate our city
Of being able TO speak thus of her IterGti, and
most heartily do we wish all prosperity, sue
cess, honor and usefulness to the ''YaxoO
Library .ASsociGtion.''
