We'll, another Fifth of November has come and gone, and despite the antics of the little boy with the big cracker, and the big boy with the little toy-pistol, the world is pretty much as it found us. This is the "off-week' for suicides, the local scandal market is dull, crime is ta a minimum, the local scandal market is dull, crime is at a minimum, fever epidemics are quoted low, the estimable Vicar of Rawtenstall is still in need of that balance to feee the church clock from debt, Haslingden is not yet incorporated, the Unionists are getting so thick that they are about to start a club at Haslingden, the rocks in the "Thrutch" haven't yet fall n on a tram but are shortly expected to do so, and the great Bacup papers still continue to get themselves into trouble by talking about things they don't understand.
The Rawtenstall Half-Holiday Association , in an announcement elsewhere, make an earnest appeal to all purchasers of goods. The secretary asks them not to encourage the downfall of the Half-Holiday movement, which has been such a boon to over-worked shopmen, by purchasing goods after one o'clock on Tuesdays, and thus supporting those tradesmen who will not conform the rules.

Whitehead, charged with having been drunk and disorderly at Burrows-row, Cloughfold, at 9-15 p.m. on Sunday. P.C. Lawrie said that at the time stand prisoner was very drunk and making use of filthy language near his own home. He refused to be quiet and had to be locked up. On the way to the police station he became very violent, and witnessed to throw him down three times before he would be quiet. Having been before the magistrates so recently as May last, he was now ordered today 10s and costs or be imprisoned 14 days with hard labour.
