Mrs. Cowie invited all the members of the St. Peter's Guild to the “Vicarage” on Thursday last. Unfortunately, many were prevented from attending by country visitors at show time. Great pleasure is expressed that Dr. Douglas is to return to Hamilton at the end of this week, after his long enforced absence. Miss Dorothy Burd is paying a visit to Hamilton.
