A farm labourer named James Rudge , who lived by himself in a cottage at Lane End , Weston- under - Penyard , was discovered dead in bed on Sunday morning , December 6th . He was at work as usual on the Saturday , and was last seen alive at 9 o'clock at night . Next morning he was missed , and on an entrance being effected to the house at 10 o'clock he was found lying dead in bed . Everything in the house was in order , and as death was obviously due to natural causes an inquest was not held . Rudge , who was 65 years of age , had for some time suffered respira- tory difficulties . WHITCHURCH . This done . the Rector tolled the . Church bell to signy to the parishioners his taking possession . After this , halts were made at the Font , the Praver Desk , the Lectern , and the Pulpit , at each stage the Archdeacon ex- horting the Rector to he diligent in his duties , the latter responding with " I will so do , the Lord being my helper . " Here , also , suitable verses from hymn 242 were sung .

Mr. LEWIS , in the course of his monthly report , stated that the telephone posts had been erected at Weston , and were fairly satisfactorily placed . Through Army work he had had a temporary difficulty in getting stone delivered from Drybrook Quarry , and he suggested the Council's consideration of the advisability of employing steam labour instead of traction engine , at 4d . per yard more . A tender had been accepted . - About 50 tons of stehe would be required near Hownhall Bridge . The delivery would be from Mitcheldean Road , and was done by Mr. Eli James last year with team labour at 1s . 4d . , and he suggested the Council's approval of the same course for the fore going requirement .

Charles Whatley became Rector . He held the living for nearly 49 years , and was succeeded by his son , the Rev. Henry Lawson Whatley , who , in his turn , was Rector for over 38 years . In 1873. he died , and was succeeded by his son , the late Rev. Henry Lawson Whatley , who held the incumbency for 41 years . week . The deceased , Mr. John George office was rendered .

The wife of Mr. Sowerby , Amy Margaret Sowerby , stated that about 9.30 on Sunday night her husband complained of a pain in his chest . He went into the ad- joining room , and got some whiskey , and then went to his bedroom . As he did not return , witness became anxious , and on going to find her husband saw that he was lying on his bed . She undid his collar , and he asked her to give him some ginger and water , which she did . Deceased said he was in great agony in the region of his heart , and his arm became numbed . They then ob- tained hot water bottles for him , but he be- came very flushed , and died soon after 10 o'clock . Dr. S. Bargrave Wyborn , who was called , and found Mr. Sowerby dead , said death was due to angina pectoris ; and the jury accordingly returned a verdict of death from natural causes , and added a vote of sympathy to Mrs. Sowerby , in which the Coroner joined .

What could be more welcome in Ross than open - hearted statements like the following . Week after week local men and women speak out in this earnest way , and their personal experiences ring with encouragement . On July 5th , 1918 , Mrs. M.

I seemed to be out of sorts altogether . were very dangerous , especially to cyclists , being full of holes , which should be filled , he thought , with tar chippings . The road leading down to the church was also bad in places , and several Foles needed filling . Mr. LOCK said the road was in a very bad condition , and he agreed that these holes should be filled in with tar chippings . LIST OF ACCEPTABLE CHRISTMAS GIFTS ( Made in Great Britain ) FOR THE Mr. FARR said he had no tar chipping Army and Navy on hand . Mr. MURDOCH said he was along this road , and it was in a very bad state . He thought ordinary chippings would do , as they would work in the road quite all right now . The CHAIRMAN said the road ought to be done to make it safe . After further discussion Mr. Farr was in- structed to get a truck of one inch and a half chippings , and get the work done . at once .
