Soldiers from the parish of Pembridge will receive a gift at Christmas this year , whether they are in France , Salonika , Egypt , or still farther East , to remind them that they are thought of by those left at home . The means for this happy result have been found by Mrs. Exell , who in the absence of any parochial effort , offered a young Large Black pig for this object and then proceeded to organise most ably a draw which resulted in proceeds amounting to nearly £ 30 . The pig in question is one of a fine litter of 13 and the winner has the privilege of taking the pick of this large family . Tickets were only 6d . each , and Mrs. Exell was fortunate in obtaining the help of many kind friends in disposing of them . Those who sold tickets included Mrs. Davies , West End , who disposed of 8 books ; Miss West , Mrs. Good , Miss Kathleen Thomas , Mrs. Fleming , Mrs. Lloyd , Mrs. Smith ( Swan ) , Miss N. Edwards , Mrs. W. Taylor ( Moseley ) , Mrs. Hayter , Miss Thompson ( Black Swan , Leominster ) , Mrs. Summerfield , Miss Annie Bevan , Mr. Dudley Bright , Mr. W. H. Batten , Mr. Rouch , Mr. Stirton , Mr. Roughton , Mr. Chandler , Mr. Heynes , Mr. Bob Davies , Mr. Thomas ( Pitfield ) , Mr. Tom Davies , Mr. Lee- worthy , Mr. L. Evans ( Moor Court ) , Mr. W. Edwards , Mr. Spencer , Mr. W. Griffiths , P.C. G. Preece , Mr. Cecil Evans ( Court of Noke ) , Miss Bessie Lloyd , Miss Kathleen Exell Ernest Newman . By efforts 53 whole books and part of 7 others were sold , realising £ 28 3s . 6d . Donations of £ 1 4s . 6d . were received , and deducting small expenses there was a net balance of £ 28 125 . The tickets . having been sold the next step was to ascertain the lucky winner of the pig , which was carried out with due ceremony at the Old Market Place , Pembridge , on Saturday afternoon last . The Rector ( the Rev. H. C. Green - Price ) accompanied by his wife kindly attended to superintend the draw . The counterfoils of the tickets were placed in a churn kindly lent for the occasion by Mrs. T. Williams , Bridge Street , and to ensure that the tickets were well shaken up various mem- bers of the company took a hand in churning the contents . and Mr. was done . their For the STORMY WEATHER J.
