Eggers; recitation, “A Little Newsboy,” Roy Eggers; recitation, John Palmer; song, Mr Roy Anderson; song, “Battle of Morgarten,” School Children. At the close Mr E. Shannon, in a few well-chosen remarks, thanked the performers, and especially Mr Anderson, school teacher, for the trouble he had taken with the children for the preparation was perfect. The singing of “God Save the King,” ended a very enjoyable evening. I am glad to see Miss Phyllis Humphx-ey is progressing very satisfactorily after her accident. Feed is coming on after the rains in abundance, and root crops are very much benefited by the rain, but it is time for the rain to ring off for a time as all the creeks are running again.
