GORE NOTES

(From a correspondent.) June 20. Brother J. J. Marlow, the enthusiastic deputy-of the Hibernian Society, paid a passing visit to pur town on Monday, the. 16th inst. In order that the local members might have an opportunity of hearing an address from him, a meeting was convened which took the place of the usual fortnightly meeting. Brother Marlow spoke strongly in support of Hibernianism, and made special reference to the recent Triennial Meeting at Westport. In forcible terms he endeavored to arouse in his hearers an interest in the society by pointing out the material benefits to be gained. He eloquently appealed to their love for the Faith, which represented all that is good and noble in Christian civilisation. Several speakers thanked the visitor and eulogised his efforts in the cause he so ably advocated. Rev. Father Graham, the '-newly appointed Administrator of the parish, who has already shown a fatherly interest in the branch, spoke a few words in appreciation of Brother Marlow’s activities. Those present were- much impressed by the visitor’s zeal in the cause of .Hibernianism, and it is hoped good results will be the outcome of the enthusiastic meeting.
