MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY
The annual conversazione of this association was held in the Schoolhouse on Friday evening. There was a large attendance and Mr Andrew J Kilpatrick occupied the chair.

The chairman gave a very interesting address on the pleasures of reading and the love of books, and thereafter a programme of readings, songs, and concerted music was gone through in a satisfactory manner.
The annual report of the association was read by Mr W Priestley, and showed that the past session had been the most successful since its institution.
A vote of thanks to the Rev. Mr Miller and the committee who had conducted the session’s lectures was conveyed to these gentlemen.
