FREE GARDENERS
On Wednesday evening a meeting was held at Shandon – Mr Alexander McCallum presiding – to consider the propriety of forming a Lodge of Free Gardeners for Helensburgh, Row, Shandon, and Garelochhead.
Resolutions favourable to this object were agreed to, and it was resolved that these, together with correspondence on the subject with Lodges already formed, should be forwarded to Helensburgh for the purpose of being laid before a meeting to be held there on an early day.
It may be mentioned that this movement to form a Lodge of Free Gardeners is accompanied by a proposal to establish a Mutual Improvement Society in connection therewith.
