Upper Halling. Foresters' Fete.

Court Pride of the Valley, No. 5021, of the Ancient Order of Foresters, have announced their 4th anniversary for Monday, June 12th at the "Robin Hood."

Dinner will be provided by Host Smith, and W. Lee. Esq., is expected to take the chair. Every arrangement has been made by the committee of management, and all that is wanted to make the anniversary of success is a fine day.
