The annual entertainment in connection
with the Blytli Presbyterian SS, is to be
held shortly, and the young folk are busy
preparing to make it as succcessful, if not
more so, as former gatherings of a similar
kind. As these entertainments have been
very 'liberally patronized in the past, no
doubt the approaching one will be no ex-
ception to the general, rule., •
The entertainment under the auspices
of the W. C. T. which came off
last week, was it grand success. The
evening being fine, the attenclanee was
