If so, it would be a safe thing for Queen’s Co. farmers to try Summerside now, as in Charlottetown potatees are selling quickly at twelve cents per bushel. The Proyress must be mistaken.

Tue St. James’ Kirk Bazaar takes place in the Market Hall, at 3 o’clock, to-murrow. There will be found at this bazaar a large assortment of fancy and useful articles, which will be sold cheap. ‘The proceeds will be applied to the liquidation of the debt on St. James’ Church.

The readings Were ciever in every particular, as vas the jano solo by Mr. L. Watson. We must not ail to notice the agreeable rendition of the songs by Messrs, Hermans, McKinnon, Williams, Davies and Caven, respectively. They were all well received, and while some ealled forth encores others were loudly ap-

auded. The continuous applause which
