Furnishing a very comprehensive picture of the activities of town and countryside. The contents are distinctly Church and Conservative, through there are several Methodist programmes and an advertisement for engravings of Baptist ministers. Diocesan meetings at St. Asaph are very prominent, so are programmes of English concerts at Rhyl, Llandudno etc. Also, notices of raffles, shooting matches, plughing competitions, rustic sports and coursing meetings. Echoes of past customs are heard in the letting of turnpike tolls and the coming of a new era in the many circulars and posters regarding the new Vale of Clwyd railway. Continual references to rewards for finding strays and for discovering persons guilty of arson. Bankrupt sales are frequent. Instructions are given in somewhat clumsy Welsh, how to avoid the cholera infection. Many memorial cards are inserted, varies by several coming of age celebrations. Altogether a varied and interesting assortment.
