The social in aid of the bazaar funds, which was held in the Druids' Hall on last Thursday evening, was a pronounced success, and the funds should benefit considerably. The committee are to be congratulated, especially the secretary (Mr. Jans). A well-attended meeting of the bazaar committee was held on Friday evening, Very Rev. Dean Holley, S.M., presiding.
