That is,how your Now Year . me.tsage in 'cake' form appeals to me, : and J. only hope that before the next : New Year" comes round wo shall all be home again, for wo boys, though we know that this job must be finished, are as anxious to get home as those at home are to Lava us back." The great respent in which Mrs. .Elizabeth- Mouat Georgeson (widow of Mr. 'James Georgeson), who died on Good Friday in her 96th year, was held was shown by the large number of people who attended her funeral On Sunday afternoon, despite the heavy rain.
