On Sunday, Sept. 6, the good Catholics
of: the parish of Lower Mourne5 were In
/ yited to meet their new PIP, in order to
consider and adopt the best ways and
ways and means within their power for
the !erectionsof a new church, at Bally-
martin, and a, parochial house. The pres
ent old chapel is in a ruinous condition,
and cannot last much longer. Although
| the people prime. pally composed of small
farmers and, fishermen, are passing
| through. the worst they have had for
a long time, they undertook unanfmo usly
to tax themselves with the paymen of
five shillings in the pound, according to
| their valuation. This effort will, no
doubt, raise few hundred pounds annu-
| ally. vet, taking into account that the
above buildings are pressinglyneede, it
| is hoped tina Father Murphy will be aided
by his numerous friends when he comes
to appeal to them for assistance in the
good work he as undertaken.
