...reading room. We have frequently heard complaints that some men come into the library and wander about in an aimless way, going from one alcove to another, taking down book after book, or listlessly turning over the volumes which lie upon the tables. Much of this seemingly need-less labor is, perhaps, necessary, but can undoubtedly be accomplished in a more quiet manner and with less annoyance to the other inmates of the library.

There was a good attendance and great interest was manifested...

But all was of no avail to the Southerners, who again fell back to Kensaw Mountain. This, by previous labor, had been made a regular fortress. Sherman, to encourage his troops, made an assault but could not take the main works. He had again to resort to flanking tactics. In this manner the enemy was forced back and soon the city of Atlanta was in sight. Johnston was then relieved...
