The Presbyterian Ladies,' Guild 'have decided to postpone the Horticultural Show this season. This is much regretted, as there was a promise of a very good display this season. The Shannon residents will be pleased to know that they are likely to hear something definite about our brass band. Some months have passed now, and the band, to all intents and purposes, has been dead. It is to be hoped that if it is not put on a fresh footing that the trustees will call in the instruments.
