NOTHING DOING.

The book agent crossed the road,

pushed the button at the front of the brown house and wiped his fart on the mat, which _was iii.~irribod with the word "Wclcome." He reached under his coat and iinbiitton- ed the pocket which held his pros- pectus of The Devil of Today.

The door opened and a thin wo-

The roads in this vicinity are in a very had condition at present owing to the recent snowstorm. l.a.dies pas- sing through Melville lately had u very trying experience in the snow. although they gave great credit to A.

'l‘he people of Kelly's Cross parish

enloyed a rare treat last Wednesday evening when they listened to a lec- ture delivered by Rev. Dr. Smith on his recent trip through Ireland. The lecturer and his subject were both drawing cards, and the spacious hall was filled to the doors when Dr. Smith appeared on the platform at 8 p. in.. In the first part of his lecture he gave a brief sketch of the history of Ireland, which naturally proved more interesting to his hear- crs, since it was nothing else than the history of their forefathers. In connection with the story of Columb- kille's life and labours he gave an interesting account of his visit to the island of Iona whose famous monastery was founded by the saint as a missionary centre from which his monks went forth to clvillzc and christianize the Scottish peoples. He also dwelt at some length on his visit to the counties Monaghan, Tyrone and ("iivau, whence almost all the first settlers of Kelly’s Cross parish rainc, and whore many of their relatives are still to be found. He then led them in spirit through the various places of interest lic had visited in other parts of Ireland - boiigli Derg and St. Patrick's Pur- gatory; Gleudalough with its sevcn churches; The Vale of Avoca, of which Moore sang so sweetly; Limer- ickffamous for its -defence by Patrick Sarslield, and for its Treaty "broken ere the ink with which 'twas writ was dr_v”; The Lakes of Killarney with their cncluiutlng scenery; Cork and tim lu.-llu of Shandon which the toiicliiiig lines _of Fntlier Prout. have iiiunortnlizud; nnd, last hilt not least, lllnrncy Castle. During the course of the lecture at suitable intervals, llev. Dr. Gillis sang Let Erin remem- hcr tho days of Old, Tho Meeting of the Waters, Killarney, and The Sliandon Hells. DT. Gillis, who is an old' favourite with Kelly's Cross au- diences, was at his best, and his rendition of these sweet songs was much enjoyed and appreciated. After a vote oi thanks (moved by John llradley, and supported by James Gorman and llev. Maurice McDon- ald), had been tendered to the Rever- cnil lecturer, a Cornet solo was given by Dominick McDonald, who pleas- iugly rendered thc airs of a few of l\-looro’s melodies. The National An- them brought the proceediiigs to a close. and the aiuliencn dispersed do- lightcd with tho cvenlni;'s ontcrtain- inept.--Goin.
