A very pleasant time was spent in the hall at Ryal Bush on Friday evening, 16’h, when a church social was given with a view of organising a Bible Class. The ladies took in hand to supply the tea and cakes. The Rev. Mr Burrows of Wallacetown acted as chairman. The musical programme was opened by an overture by the Messrs Blue and Miss Blakie. The Rev. Mr Burrows then made a speech. A trio was given by the Messrs Blue and Mrs Wilson, with an organ accompaniment. Then followed a quartette by our local friends Mr Officer, Mr R.
