27 JANUARY 1915

Jan. 25th

Mrs. George Farnsworth is visiting at Round Hill.

Holy Trinity intends giving another entertainment on the 31st inst.

We are glad to report that Mrs. Blanche Williams is recovering from an attack of heart trouble.

We regret to report the death of Mrs. James Oliver, of Parker’s Mountain on the 18th inst. She leaves a husband, five daughters and two sons to mourn their loss.

The one and only Bernard Dolan of “John Hancock” fame arrived in town on Tuesday to stay for an indefinite period. Glad to see you Bernard! but sorry you’re feeling slim.

Captain T. Albert Delap and wife left us for New York on Wednesday much to the regret of all. Particularly so, perhaps to our old “salts” who will miss their anchorage in “Snug Harbor.” We wish for the Captain and his wife a safe and pleasant journey and visit, and will be glad to welcome them back at any old time.

Mrs. E.R. Reid entertained members of the Adult Bible Class on Wednesday evening and a very pleasant time was spent. A very unpleasant accident occurred, however, to mar the event. Mrs. Adelbert Messenger when leaving, slipped and fell down several steps, striking her head. The blow rendered her unconscious. She was at once cared for by Mrs. Reid and medical aid was summoned. She was moved to her home on Saturday and we hope for a speedy recovery.

On Thursday evening a very pleasant entertainment was staged in “Union Hall” under the auspices of the Church of England in aid of their building fund. “Our Aunt from California” arrived by had some time making herself at home. After her troubles she deserves a trip to Europe. rope. We advise her to wait till the map is changed. Next on the programme was the rendering of the latest war songs “Tipperary” and “Marching to Victory,” by Mrs. LeBaron Mills, during which time we were invited to dig down for some home made candy. Last but not least “Mrs. Oakley’s Telephone” took our attention for a time (some laugh), after which the National Anthem was sung and the crown dispersed well pleased. The only fault found was that the programme was like Paddy’s blanket, too short at one end.
