A most popular and pleasing function took place at Bannockburn last Friday night, the occasion being a farewell social and presentation to Mr and Mrs J. McLedowney, who are leaving the district after having conducted the Bannockburn Hotel in a most creditable manner for five years. The attendance was representative of the whole district. Mr James Ritchie, councillor for the district, acted as chairman and made the presentation of a wellfilled purse of sovereigns, supported by other speakers.
