Just Arrived---A Carload of Fresh Lime at Orchard's. A Pleasant Evening After the stienuous work ot the past few weeks, the management of the Port Perry Choral Union felt that an evening's enjoyment was a fitting close to this season's work. Accordingly arrangements were made to hold a social gathering at the Town Hall on Monday evening, when the piano was formally presented to the town, and the Reeve and Council were present to receive the gift, and [1] respond to the speech made by Dr. Berry in his presentation on behalf of the Union. An informal program was given in which speeches and choruses were woven together in a most happy man- ner. Words of appreciation were Spoken of all who helped to make the ntata a success, 'many ladies and gentlemen having contributed to this end, other than those who belonged to the Union. As was natural, roany words of praise were accorded to Mr. Follick, who responed in a most timely speech on music, The treasurer's report showed that tbe Union was in a flourishing finan- cial/condition having some $95 in the ury after paying all expenses and buying the piano. After the program of speeches and "songs refreshments were served and the proceedings were concluded by singing "Auld Lang Syne." Rev. Mr. Muirhead, President of the Union, was chairman and his happy vein of humor put everybody in.good spirits and started the pro- ceedings in a right direction. The Union' will continue its: work next year, as they feel it is just the beginning of their 'ocportunity, | FARM AND OTHER LABOR { BELFAST, 51, Feb. 24th, 1914 Mr. J. C.
