The Mayor (Mr R. McTaggart), in thanking the members of the Company for their performance, which was staged for the purpose of raising funds towards the appeal which is being made for the families concerned in the recent mine disaster at the Ten Mile, stated that through their efforts over £l5 had been added to the amount already collected. He thanked the people present for their generous response and expressed the hope that when appealed to in the future they would respond in • their usual generous manner.

Members of the Anglican Church Sewing Guild met on Monday afternoon to say farewell to Mrs J. A. McLeod, who is leaving this week for Musselburg. A very pleasant afternoon was spent, songs being rendered by Mesdames I. Spedding, D. Kendrick, J. Smith, R. Hambley and C. Sweeney. Competitions were won by Mrs McLeod and Mrs J. Clelland. After a dainty afternoon tea, served by the Ladies’ Committee, Mrs McLeod was presented with a crystal cruet set, and members of the Guild extended to her their good wishes for her future. Mrs McLeod suitably replied.
