MINER'S RISE
COTTAGE TO PALACE
LONDON, 20th May.
"Good luck, Jimmy," cried the neighbours when Mr. James Brown, M.P., who is an ex-miner, accompanied by his wife, who is an ex-mill girl, left their three-roomed cottage at Annbank, Ayrshire, for Holyrood Palaco. There "Jimmy," as Lord High Commissioner, represents the King at the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Mr. Brown intended motoring from the village to the railway station, but the miners jovially restrained the chauffeur from starting the engine, and towed the car with ropes.
Mrs. Brown, clad in a simple.travelling frock, her ample skirt reaching her ankles, confessed that sho was a "wee bit sorry" to exchange her cottage for the Palace, but added: "It is only for ten days."
Mr. and Mrs. Brown's granddaughter Peggy was the most excited n.ember of the party.
"It is the most wonderful day of niy life," she said.
