A meeting of ladies willing to help in connection with the soldiers' entertainment is to be held in the Town Board room on Friday next at 2.30 p.m. An advertisement appears in another column.

The film “Ginger Mick" was shown to a good house on Thursday night last. Special music was provided for this nicturc by Miss Nicholls (piano), and Messrs S. Jo. Taylor (violin), L. Nichalls (cornet), and D. C. Nicholls (flute), and was much appreciated by the audience.

An amusing incident in connection with “wandering stock” occurred on Wednesday last when about seven sheen straying in the main street wandered ’nto a well-known picture framer’s shop and practically took charge for some minutes. When the lady in charge appeared the scene may be better imagined than described. -Evidently not satisled with the first episode, two of the <hcep immediately crossed the street end entered another shop, but wore soon making a very hasty exit. It is iiiroly “stock-taking” time.
