MEDICAL CLUB
Only a few persons have at present expressed a desire to become members of this club. If any others wish to join it, the Vicar would be glad to receive their names at once. He would give any further information on the subject to anyone who cares to enquire.
SCHOOL ESSAYS
A happy suggestion was made by Mr. Savory, that a prize should be offered to the children of our day schools, for the best essay written by the children, in order to encourage original thought and composition. The subject selected was "The Harvest," and essays were written by 17 children. The first prize (given by Mr. Savory) was awarded to Douglas McDonald, the second prize (given by the Vicar), to Arthur Summerton, and the third prize (given by Mrs. Savory), to George Collet.
GIFT OF LAND TO THE VICARAGE
The Parishioners may like to know, and it is certainly worthy of being put on record for the benefit of posterity, that the authorities of Christ Church Oxford (the Patrons of the Living) have purchased from Messrs. Lords Trustees a piece of land, which, they have very liberally presented to the living of Badsey. The quantity of the purchased land is two roods, thirty perches, situated with frontage to the main road, at the west end of the field known as the Stockey, and adjoining the fence in front of the Vicarage.
CHURCH DECORATION
CHIMES RETURN
We are pleased to hear the Chimes going again in a satisfactory manner. Owing to the shrinkage of the wood work to which the hammers are attached they failed to strike the bells properly. This is a matter easily rectified. The Clock continues to go in a most satisfactory manner, and sets a good example of regularity to everyone in the neighbourhood.
