year with shilling rate, considering the
enormous liabilities the town had come
under during the last Ave years. in con-
neotion with the building of the town
hall and the taking over Of the park and

port to the next meeting.
Meetings OF tenants OF most of the
county Armagh estates are being held,
and memorials sent therefrom to the
landlords, asking reductions in rents,
which it is impossible considering the
agricultural depression, to pay. Mrs.
Cope refused the request of her Mount
Morris tenantry, as She said no other es-
tate in the district was giving reduc-
tons. It was pointed ont that Mrs. Cope
must have been mislnformed, as one
landlord at least had granted an abate-
ment of SO per cent. 1t was decided to
ask Mrs. Cope to reconsider her decis-
ion, and In the meantime a tenants de-
tense association was formed: Memori-

Coal VALLEY, July 1S-Editor of
The ARGUs-As various statements
have appeared in the newspaper col
umns under the head of Coal Valley
correspondence, associating our Pres
byterian church with a certain bow
cry dance near by, it seems due to
the church. to the community and to
the readers Of your pager, that one
or two facts be made known. If it
were true that a dance platform
stood on the church grounds, GER
tainly We could not object to the
fact being proclaimed either on
dance hand-bills or through the COL
umns of any paper. But the fact is
the dancing floor stands not on the
church lot. but on the adjoining
street. the street being surveyed but
not graded. there being at present no
fence separating it from the grove.
We trust that in the future all cor
respondents and all bowery dance
managers will not persist in bring
ing together these two institutions
rs in the bond OF matrimony, espe-
cially when one of them at least pre-
fers to remain single.
