6 JANUARY 1915

Jan. 4th

Mrs. John S. Hayden returned to her home in Lynn last week.

Mr. W. Burke went on Saturday to Lynn in search of his fortune.

Mr. A.L. Dennison, M.P., made a flying visit to this place last week.

Miss Avora Reynolds started Monday for her school at Northfield, Queens County.

Miss Delma Snow, teacher, returned to her school at Centreville, Digby County on Saturday, Jan. 2.

Miss Lena Keans and Miss Nellie Kemp, teachers, returned Saturday to their respective positions in the United States.

The fishermen are meeting with very rough weather and fish are scarce, thus making the earnings of the past two months quite small.

The Secretary of Trustees has secured the service of Miss MacCallum of Truro, as teacher for the balance of the school year. We hope the parents of the children will give the new teacher every support.

Mrs. Reginald Tinkham gave a birthday party to her old schoolmates on the evening of Jan. 1st, she having attained her majority (21 years). A goodly number were present and the evening was spent very enjoyably. Good wishes and a number of presents attested to the esteem in which she is held.

A splendid entertainment was given at the Hall by the citizens of Port Wade on Thursday evening, December 31st, in aid of the Belgian Relief Fund. A good program was rendered including readings, songs, dialogues, etc., interspersed with music, violin by Mr. J. Slocum and Miss Ella Shaffner as accompanist. Special mention should be made of the sea battle between Cruisers Sydney and Emden which was put up by Mr. Horace Snow. While the two ships are in action the Emden is blown up. Judging by the many encores and the handsome sum of $50.00 the attempt was in every way a success. The same company put on the concert at Victoria Beach on Saturday evening, when a like success attended, realizing the sum of $25.00, making a total in two evenings of $75.00.
