WESTOWN CHURCH FUND.

SUCCESSFUL SALE OF WORK. Residents of Westown have for some time past been working wth the. object of raising funds for the erection of an Anglican church in the district. The ladies have taken a very active part in the matter, and, with Mrs. W. H. Haddrell as organiser, have been working assiduously preparing for a fancy fair and sale of work, which took place in the Westown Hall on Saturday. It proved a great success, the sum of over £6O being taken. The hall had been prettily decorated by a. number of willing workers, and suitably prepared to adequately display the numerous good things that had been freely donated by the residents. There was a large attendance throughout the day and evening, good business being done. The fair was opened by Archdeacon Evans, in the absence of the Mayor (Mr. F. E. Wilson), who had a prior engagement, but arrived later. The various stalls, which all appeared to do good business, were controlled as follows: Plain and Fancy Work.—Mesdames W. H. Haddrell, D. D. Baker, F. V. Sole, P. Kidd, F. Styles. Produce.—Mesdames V. C. Davies, Dickinson and Saunder, Mr. P. C. Lysons and Masters, S. Tonks and F. Dickinson. Jumble Stall. —Mrs. F. Lobb, Miss N. Knofflock.
