One of the speakers addressing the Council put the matter in a nutshell when he said that the whole business 0! the town on almost any day could be crowded into three hours work.

A number of merchants were present at the Council meeting and expressed their satisfaction at the early closing lystem.

In the early eighties he went to England and laid his rifle before the British army authorities. who took it up and furnished the whole army with Lee-Metfords.
