Mr. Parkinson made his third ap- pearance before a Weston audience on Monday night in Westminster aud, itorium. This time he conducted his company on a tour through Ireland, as he said, not the Ireland of unrest, feuds and dissatisfaction, but the one given over to nature and man's handi» Worli for the highest and the noblest. Her fields greener than eye can imag- ine, lakes, rivers and woodlands more beautiful than mind pan picture; cas- tles, cathedrals, arurmotrasteries stat, lier and more picturesque than. tongue can relate, These were thrown on the canvas, and as each one appeared a short sketch of its history, some.- times humorous, often pathetic, but never commonplace, was given. Am. other feature which added materially to the enjoyment of those present were the solos rendered by Miss Gene.. vieve Lyons, as such historic places as Tara. hall and others were thrown on the canvas, Ireland is essentially the land of music, wit and mirth.

L. will hold their annual election of officers at the regular meeting on Wednesday night, Dec. 11th, in Church Street Hall. v. The annual Christmas entertain- ment in connection with St. Phillip's Sunday School will be held in Weston Town Hall on Tuesday, January 7th. A bay mare hitched to a top buggy in good condition was found late Mon- day night tied to a post in front of Reuben Longstatt's property, Main Street. It is evidently the same rig that three boys were seen with earlier in the evening at Bourlqe's Hotel, by Charlie Gillies. When spoken to they said they were on their: road to Mal- ton. Evidently they had driven a. lit- tle further and left the horse. The hostler at Bourke's being, informed that the horse was there at a very late hour,' went down and took charge of it. It is not know if the animal was stolen or the property of some careless youths. The owner may re- claim his property by going to Bourke's Hotel. The story hour is now an estab- lished feature oflthe Public Library work. The storyis told on Saturday afternoons. The door is open at 2 o'elock, but clases at 2.15, when the story begins.

From time to time our boys are re- turning homer and it seems impossible to keep in close touch with their ar- rival. Last week four of our local soldiers arrived and upon going to press we had' only knowledge of one, Fred Sainsbury. 'His companions are Pte. F. W. Pearce, C. Sharkey and T. Lennehan. The last named had only been promoted to sergeant. All are looking well, but pleased to be back in their native land again. COMING EVENTS IN MEMORIAM BIRTHS Shirt.............. .....
