ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS 17 



Mr D. McB. Watson, Hawick, had been associated with 

 the Club for over 27 years, and took a keen interest 

 in the work of this Club, and in kindred work in Hawick. 

 Mr Wm. Wilson, Berwick, was connected with the Club 

 for 2o years. Dr Robertson, Otterburn, had been a member 

 for over 25 years. When the Club visited that district 

 he read an interesting paper, which was printed in the 

 "Proceedings." Mr James S. Mack, Coveyheugh, was well 

 known in Berwickshire for the interest which he took 

 in county affairs. He had been a member of the Club 

 for 22 years. Dr Stewart Stirling, Edinburgh, joined the 

 Club in 1887. He attended the meetings, and was much 

 interested in its work. I regret to have to include in 

 this list the name of Mrs Bar well Carter, Berwick, the 

 daughter of Dr Johnston, founder of the Club. She was 

 an honorary member, and kept up an intimate connection 

 with it. For many years the members of the Club, at 

 the October meeting, visited her house in Woolmarket to 

 inspect the valuable collections of Dr Johnston, which 

 were kept there, and to inscribe their names in a book 

 which she kept for the purpose. The Club has sustained 

 a great loss in her death, and many of the members 

 will miss a valued personal friend. 



The pleasant duty now devolves on me of appointing 

 Mr George G. Butler, M.A., Ewart Park 

 Election of Woolei", to be President of the Club foi 

 President. next year. Mr Butler has served the Club 

 well as Editing Secretary, and I am sure 

 that his appointment will meet with the approbation of 

 its membei's.
