Rev. Mrs. Norton of Newfane will give

hearing her.
While II. A. Scott was gathering sap
Saturday his horses thought they were not
getting exercise enough, so tipped over the
gathering tub and started out, coming up
through the village, down through Hol-
lands bridge and up the back road to their
home, making a total of about seven miles.
Mr.. Scott followed them around with a
team and arrived home soon after the
horses. No damage was done, and the
team seems to be the better for the run.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. b. J. Kenyon,
former residents of Townshend, will be
pleased to read the following taken from
the Prescott journal of Prescott, Ontario,
where Mr.. Kenyon has been laboring for
the past few months:
1.-THE Presbyterian church was filled Tuesday
evening with audience fully appreciative of the
of the church. The leader, b. J. Kenyon, has rea-
son to be proud of his work in bringing the cho-
up to he high standard it has attained, and
the members of the choir deserve great credit for
the spirit in which they took hold of the work. Il
would be squandered time and labor to try a de.
scripton or the evenings work.
The attraction of the evening was Mrs. Kenyon,
this being her first appearance before a Prescott
audience and it is safe to say a more hattering
reception could not have been given. Mrs Ken
yon has at once gained the support of all who
heard her and her name as vocalist is already es-
tablished. The sweet voice of magnificent range,
and her pleasing appearance give her the charm
so delightful in public singer
THE program was divided into ten parts: The
first part was given to organ music by Mr. Ken
yon and recitations by Mrs Kenyon. Eight or
gan numbers and an encore were given, and those
who have heard Mr.. Kenyon at the organ IAN un.
derstand the treat Mrs Kenyon's recitations 50
delighted the audience that an encore was de-
manded after each number and graciously re-
sponded to.
During the year the people Of Prescott have
been treated TO two rich musical festivals, the
credit for which falls to Mr. Kenyon. The first
was by the Methodist choir and now the Presby.
terrain. We doubt if another town the size OF
Prescott can show better musical talent
