Monkton. N. @. r. R.-The congregation Of
st. James Protestant Episcopal Church, My
| Lady's Manor, has bought the stone in the wall
of the old barn on the farm of Mr.. William T..
Price and will use the material in the erection of
q ball on the lot, near the church, lately pur-
| chased from Mrs. Herbert Hutchins. The
| neighbors are now busily engaged tearing
down the wall and hauling the stone to the
site of the new hall, work upon which will be
commenced as soon as the weather will per-
| NIT. The hall, when completed, will prove
| great convenience to the community. Rev.
Sidney A. Potter is the present rector of St.

centre, especially in the summer time, and
many strangers spend the warm months

| to attract wide attention is the annual ladies'
tournament-the first of the kind ever held in
| this country. These affairs have now become
low. The net receipts from these tournaments
will be applied to the erection OF the church
| hall.

| ments in the same neighborhood that never
fail to add zest to life in the country. These are
oyster suppers, strawberry and other festivals,

sport INDUCES in an occasional fox-hunt, but
