The Farmers' Queen dance takes place at the Town Hall 10-night, and promises lo be a great turn-mil, bringing in lots of country residents in addition to townspeople, and altogether should be a record.

A very successful shop day was held on Saturday by the Committee, of the Farmers’ Queen candidate, the takings for the day being exceptionally good.
