Six more new cottages are to be erected without
delay in this thriving little place. For the last six
years building has been the order of the day; the
'inn" is nearly completed, and if cottages and popula-
tion increase as of late years, we hope to have to
record the laying of a foundation stone for a place of
worship.

which were heartily received. Mr. J. Pope, in proposing
"The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese" spoke of the
great advantage that accrued to the inhabitants of a
village from having a clergyman resident amongst
them, and expressed his concern that there should he
villages in England without such. In conclusion
he felicitionsly exhorted all to brotherly love.—
The Rev. H. C. Heatable responded. He believed
there never was a bishop who filled his high office more
efficiently than the Lord Bishop of Salisbury. The Arch.
deacons of Dorset also did their duty well. He
trusted that the clergy and laity would continue to
co operate heartily together The Chairman next ;
prop ,sed " The A rely, Navy, and Volunteers,"
coupling with the toast the names of Lieut. J. Legg,
and Private D. Spooner of the 3rd D.V.A.—Lieut.
Legg briefly responded. —Private Spooner wassure the
volunteers would al ways do their duty, and as for him-
self he would rather at any time be shot than be pumped
on. The Chairman then gave "Success' 10
the Symondsbury Club." It was on a day
like this when he missed the assistance of his brother
clergy. He hoped that all the members would "be
merry and wise." He coupled with the toast the Deane
of Mr. J. Pope. That gentleman returned thanks. lie
said his duties had been very light, as all the work fell
on the secretaries. With a little perseverance the

society would well. The Chaiiman then gave
• The health of the past and present secretary" of
the society. Mr. H. D. Gundry responded
as did also Mr. J. Stickland. The latter gentle-
man remarked that Mr. Gundry had left the
accounts in the most flourishing condition. The society
had now £4OO in the-Bank. In the morning he was
afraid they should have had to dispense with the sick
pay, but he was now happy to tell them that
inch would not be the case. (Cheers.) Mr.
J. Pitfield proposed "The health of the Visitors
and Honorary Members." The Rev. K W. May in
responding, said he hoped the society would still
continue in a flourishing condition.—Mr. S. Tucker,
briefly proposed "The health of M. Denciloe, Esq.,"
the surgeon of the club.—Mr. Densiloe having
