. <» . From a Correspondent At the invitation of the bachelor* of the district a very successful harvest home ball and social was held m the school on Friday evening. There was an attendance of over » hundred, and dancing was kept up with unflagging rnergy, Messrs Bellow and Sowell supplying the music aad Mr M. L'ddlw being an efficient M.C. Songs were rendered by Mesdiumes Cobb and Thomas Piteraon, and a'so hy Messrs Dellow, Reid, Pigfir, and Black, and a recitation was given by Mr Alien. The comic element was m the hands ot Mr L. Frost, who, it is needless to s»y, was quire master of the ntiriMon. Ample refreshments were pro vided by the management, and " the nioht drave oa wi' songs and clatter," all present eDJoying themselves immensely.

LAURISTON

From Our Own Correspondent. One of the most enjoyable balls yet held m Lauriston took place m the Schoolroom on Friday evening last, when m response to the numerous invitations which had been , circulated by the spins tte a of that district, between thirty and forty couples assembled to "ohaB« away the glowing houra with flying feet." Portunately for the success of the venture, as also for the ladies' pockets, the weather was favourable, and the expec tations of the promoters were fully realised. Mr W. Pearce acted m his usual capacity as master of oeremonies, and ably assisted by the stirring and spirited music of Mr Soott, of Elgin, had no difficulty m keeping things going with a good healthy awing, which is always a very helpful factor to the enjoyment of the evening. Songs were con* tributed at intervals by Messrs Lowe, Brown, and Walkpr, and Mr Maidens, to lend further variety to the programme, came forward with a vigorous Irißh jig. The committee are oertainly to be con gratulated upon their skilful management, even to the smallest detail, and ehonld the bachelors at some future date think of re turning the oompliment (as I hopa they will) they would do well to follow m the foot steps of the fair ones, Refreshments m abundance were handed round at different times, and satisfied the wants of the mos< fastidious At the close of the evening, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the ladies and carried m the usual vociferous manner* The usual monthly meeting of the Laurie ton School Committee was held on Monday evening. Present — Messrs Boss (chairman), Gorman, Widdowson, and Daly. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed, and accounts to the amount of £3 3s were passed for payment. The atten dance returns for the month showed a work ing average oi 51, out of a roll of 60. The master reported upon the present healthy condition of the school, and upon the good headway that had already been made m the year's work. The resignation of Miss Dent, as sewing mistress of the school, was ac cepted with regret, and Mies Johnston was unanimously appointed m her stead. It was resolved that a letter should be forwarded to Mtsß Dent by the Chairman, expressing the Committee's appreciation of the goorl services rendered by her m the past. Since my last contribution to your paper, Lauriston has, by the decease of Mr H. 'Greenaway, lost one who has m the past rendered faithful services to the district. For five years prior to hiß death, Mr Green avray was employed by Mr Johnston, as farm servant, and that gentleman has several times spoken m terms of highest praise of the faithfulness shown by deceased to his employer. Outside his daily duties, Mr Gieenaway always took a lively interest m local affaira.and allied himself closely to matters appertaining to the Church, Sunday School, and Band of Hope. On the resigna tion of Mr Dent, senr,, he undertook the superintendence of the Sunday School, which position he held up to the time of his death. A man, honourable m his dealings, and cober m his habits, he gained the universal respect of all who knew him. Great sympathy is felt m the distiict for Mrs Greenaway and family, whose loss, at the decease of one so dearly loved, will be a heavy one to bear.

HOM.O WAY'S "PILIB AND OINTMENT. — It IS impossible entirely to prevent the noxious vapours whioh are given oS m mines and tunnels, and those who, like miners and railway operatives, have to work day after day m such vitiated atmospheres, suffer m health and strength m consequence. The chest and liver often become clogged with the products of coal combustion, necessitating great attention to the health. No remedy is more valuable for miners and the like than Holloway's Pills, as they carry off all effete matter from the blood, and healthi'y stimulate the liver. They are also invaluable for costive bowels and for all bilious disorders. The ointment is a priceless remedy for piles, sprains, ulcers and all manner of sores.
