1) McMullan - Wylie - March 9th, 1911, at St. John's Church,
Newcastle, Co. Down, by the Rev. Otway Woodward, Rector. Joseph H., son of
the late David H. McMullan and Mrs. Barry, Rockland Villas, Newcastle, to
Annie, daughter of the late James Wylie, Dunmurry, Co. Antrim
2) Reminiscences - Fair is Lisburn on the
Lagan, Where the curfew rings at nine;
Fair the river rolling northward, Far along the old track line.
In the dreary nights of winter, When the lights of Millbrook shine,
Mystic shadows seem to linger, Far along the old track line.
Lofty are the groves of Wilmount, Rich the pastures of Lismoyne;
Charming is the view of Nature, Far along the old track line:
Where the bells of Ballylesson, Often ring their well-known chime,
With a grand reverberation, Far along the old track line.
Oft the village hind and maiden, Ramble in the summer time,
Where the chestnut spreads its blossom, Far along the old track line.
Time is passing, rolling onward, But these charms shall still be mine;
Memories of the times I wandered, Far along the old track line.
Henry Hu?, ?? Low? Road, Lisburn

wrote: "We have pleasure in submitting the following tenders for permits for
amusements on the north-end of the Esplanade. (a) Season 1939, £2,050, with

years, £2,230." from Wicklow People, January 1939)
(For the past few weeks Messrs. Wm. Toft & Sons amusements have been open on
the Fair Green, Longford. Undoubtedly the chief attraction is the Electric
Picture Palace attached, in which, at both houses nightly, are shows, some
very fine dramatic, comic and educational films. There are some films on the
market of rather a questionable character, but from what I have seen,
Messrs. Toft take extra care in the selection of their subjects - Result -
Delighted large and appreciative audiences all the time. - from
