LONG HILL.

The old folks whist club held their last meeting with Mir and Mrs G. M. Bennett and, in spite of bad roads and disagreeable weather, there was but one table vacant. The near approach of Lent necessarily makes this the final meeting for the present. Realizing this fact, ev- cry one seemed intent upon getting all the fun out of it possible. First prize for gentlemen was taken by Elliot M. Beardsley, tbat for the lady by Mrs II. N. Ayres, while the booby was won by Mr Ayres, after magnificent score. There is no question as regards the mu- sical ability of the old folks whist club and, with MT Bennett to blow the horn, Mir Stuart to beat the drum and Mr Ayres to play the fiddle, it will be possible to give a concert in the near future that will surprise the natives. Some of the club think that it would be a good idea to erect band stand on Mir Stuart's fine lot fronting his residence and give weekly band concerts and there is no question but what they would succeed in driving all the cats out of business, if they did uot drive all the neighbors distracted. The meetings of the club have been a success and it is the sentiment of all that they shall be continued in the future. After partaking of q bountiful repast, at which several members particularly dis tinguished themselves, and short period of social story telling, at Il little later hour than usual, they made their adieux to host and hostess and wended their way home, hoping that this was not the last meeting. x
