The Chairman

The singing of "Auld Lang Syne" brought to a close a very happy meeting.

John Brown (Chairman) Mr Brown is the youngest son of the late David Brown, long a prominent Member of Dalry Burns Club, of which he was President in 1875. On the death of his father on 22^nd January, 1893, he succeeded to his business of Printer, Bookseller, and Box-Maker. He is at present the very popular Captain of our local Volunteer Corps. Having erected the commodious villa of Craiglands on the Ardrossan Road, he married Miss Agnes Nicol, daughter of our much-esteemed Lay-Missionary here. The Chair was to have been occupied by John Blair, W.S., Edinburgh, the generous donor of our Public Park, but he was unavoidably prevented through illness from doing so.
