At Monday's Carlow Petty Sessions before Mr. J.C. Ryan, Resident Magistrate and Sir Deny's-Burton, a licence was granted to the recently formed "Comrades of the Great War" Club in Carlow.  The club, which has a large membership, is now in full working order in their well-equipped rooms, in Burrin Street.

Great War Club.

Carlow Sentinel, March 8th. 1919.

Carlow Comrades of The Great War Club.

At a meeting held in the Deighton Hall. Burrin -street, Colonel Browne-Clayton presided.

On the proposition of Mr J. Connolly, seconded by Mr P. Begley, Colonel Browne-Clayton was unanimously selected as a candidate to represent the Comrades at the coming elections.

Mr McCarthy, Clerk of the Crown and Peace, delivered a very instructive address regarding the voting under proportional representation, and conducted a model election to enlighten those present.

Great credit is due to the "Comrades" whose efforts extinguished the would-be disastrous fire in the Labour Exchange on Tuesday night.

Meetings were held in the Town Hall in February and March. Present---Miss Alexander, in the chair; Mrs Paul Brown, Mrs Kane Smith, Mrs J. Mc Donnell, Nurse Mrs Valentine, and Miss Gough.

The Nationalist.

11th August, 1919.

Letter to the Editor.

Dear Sir---- We have all heard of the proposed Irish War Memorial to be erected at a Soldiers' Club in Dublin in memory of those brave Irishmen who fought and fell in the recent war: in this club there is to be kept a complete roll of honour of all these giving the name and regiment of each man. I am anxious to obtain from the Queen's County at least £1.000 for this excellent object. The population of our county taken at the last census amounted to 54,000. If 20,000 of these gave one shilling each, we would have our £1,000. If more were given, of course a larger sum would be obtained. I should be glad to have the names of any friends who would be willing to collect in their own districts and to send me the total amounts.

 
I am Dear Sir,
Yours Faithfully,
Algernon Coote,
His Majesty's Lieutenant in the Queen's County.
