Newton Agricultural and Labourers’ Friend Society: The thirty fourth annual meeting of this society, which comprises all the parishes in the Newton Abbot Union, was held yesterday. The ploughing took place in a field called the “Deer Park, ” near the railway station in the occupation of Mr. Mudge. Very heavy rain fell in the morning, but it being a hilly field, did not interfere much with the ploughing, although doubtless it had the effect of keeping many visitors away…. The dinner took place at the Globe Hotel. Sir L. Palk presided, and Admiral Wise filled the vice-chair. There were also present, Lord Clipper, Revs. Preb. Hawker, H. Tudor, R. R. Wolfe, J. W. Stevenson, S. G. Harris … (list, includes) … G. Pinsent … Prizes: … (includes) … To the ploughman with the double- or one-way plough who had never won a prize (the gift of Sir Walter Carew) – 1^st, John Balkwill, with Mr. Pinsent, Coombeinteignhead; 2^nd, William Skinner with Mr. D.

District News: Coombeinteignhead: The ingathering of the harvest was most appropriately commemorated at Coombeinteignhead on Thursday. Throughout the village there were joyful signs. Divine service was held in the church, which was nicely decorated; and there was a full congregation. The sermon was preached by the Rev. B. W. Wrey from the XII Chapter St. Luke, part of 15^th verse, “a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth”. The collection amounting to upwards of £3 was devoted in aid of the schools of the parish. After service the whole of the male population, about 150, were regaled in Mr. Lang’s building with a good substantial meal of beef and plum pudding, without a stint of beer and cider supplied by them. The happiness evinced by the labouring portion showed that very pleasant relations existed between them and their employers. The women and children, about 250, were provided with tea, cake etc., laid on tables placed in the Rectory lawn, where they were very generously attended to by the ladies and the infirm were provided for in their own houses. The committee who carried out the proceedings in such a successful manner were Misses Carew, Mrs. Crawshay, Rev. B. W. Wrey, Rev. J. L. Poe, Messrs. W. Rendell, W. Board, Pook, S. Lang, E. Lang, W. Reed, and J. Pinsent. The Teignmouth Artillery Band played during the afternoon, and several rural sports were indulged in. Cannons were fired, the bells rang merry peals and the proceedings terminated with a display of fireworks provided by Mr. Crawshay.
