Mi Society Notes. Athells, March 29.--The last' so- cial of the Young People's Society for the present ecclesiastical year, was held on the evening of the 21st inst., and proved most enjoyable in every way. An interesting pro- gramme came first, and included readings by Miss Dorothy Curtis and Jack Hollingsworth, ana récitation by Lawrence Scott, an anthem by a Junior choir, and quartette by the Misses Hollingsworth and © Yates, Messrs. Hall and Warren, and selec- tions by the orchestra composed of Mrs. E. F. Neg, violin, Herbert War- ren, violin, B. ¥. Nef, mouth organ, ard Mrs. H. E. Warren, piano, J. L. Medcof, B.A., principal of the local high school, gave an instructive ad- dress, which carried. many helpful lessons, after which, a pleasant change of programme was afforded by a contest, "All About Pat," in which all had the opportunity of taking a part. A treat of pop corn and candy was served at the close. The funeral of the late Chaunce Elancher was held from his Mifl street residence; on Tuesday after- noon last, to the Holiness Movement cburck, where Rev, Mr. Bowen, Brockville, preached a forceful ger- mon, using as text Rev. 3:20.

Although all that care and._medfcal aid could do were re- scrted to during his seven weeks of confinement to his bed, yet human help was unavailing, and he passed away on the evening of the 20th inst. . -- Literary Social.

Community singing added a pleas- ing variety, while a difficult piano solo, by Miss Irma Palmer, Plum Hollow, one of the oratorical con- testants, (aged eleven) showed her- self to be a musical prodigy, and} elicited favorable comment on every hand. A vocal number, "Nellie Blye" by Russell Pierce and Donald Neff, in picaninny costumes was en- 'thusiastically received, and loudly encored. Mrs. C. F. Yates, district tfresi- dent, and Mrs, Etta Eaton, district secretary, are to be heartily con- gratulated upon the success of the venture into this new field of Insti- tute activities, and the result of similar contests on the distriot will be awaited with interest, following which, all the winners of the various first prizes will compete for the final award, at a date to be decided upon later, Westbrook, March 20.--True evi- dences of spring are at hand when the crows are ad 43 Boils And Carbuncles writes: 'In. regard 1 have to say that B.B.B. was the only medicine I could get to relieve me of my boils and carbuncles.
