St. Eleanors Bazaar
His Excellency Sir Donald Campbell, accompanied by the Hon. Mr. Haviland, left on Monday last for St. Eleanors to be present at the opening of the Bazaar, for the relief of the destitute in that neighborhood, and returned on Wednesday evening. His Excellency went by the way of Tryon and Bedeque, lunched at the residence of John Marshal, Esq., DeSable, inspected the improvements in progress on his model Farm, and his valuable importation of Live Stock from England; drove through the beautiful settlements of DeSable, Crapaud, Tryon and Seven Mile Bay, to the residence of Joseph Pope, Esq. at Bedeque, where, in the absence of Mr. Pope, he was hospitably entertained by his son, Mr. James Pope. On the following morning His Excellency continued his journey through the fertile and picturesque settlement of Bedeque, and was met at Walker’s by a numerous deputation of gentlemen who escorted him to St. Eleanors. Upon approaching Travellers Rest, a large display of flags was observed waving in the wind on the tops of the houses; and on entering the settlement he was received with the cheers of the people, and a discharge of firearms; a triumphal arch was also erected across the road for His Excellency to pass through."
