LOST, between Alma Cottages and Higher Fall-barn, a PPURSE containing over £2 and a paper inside with the owner's name written upon it. Anyone returning same to 'H.T" Free Press office, will be rewarded.
Preliminary Announcement, NEW WESLEYAN METHODIST CHAPEL, WHITEWELL BOTTOM. It is intended to have a BAZAAR in March or April next, the proceeds of which will be given to the Building Fund. Contributions in money or goods will be gratefully received by MR GEORGE LONSDALE, Whitewell Bottom, Rev J.V.B. SHREWSBURY, Rawtenstall, Superintendent Minister, and Mr J.J. ASHCROFTm Newchurch, Chairman of Committee.
Poor old Bacup cannot have a steam fire engine because the Rossendale Waterworks Company's mains are only capable of supplying one-fourth the quantity of water required to run it, and even were the water there, the pressure is described as 'totally inadequate'. From this it might seem there is only just enough water in Bacup to lead-poison the inhabitants, and that when it comes to putting out fires, the trick must be done with ashes and old blankest. Seriously, however, this is a poor look out for the people of Bacup, and it is clearly the duty of her representatives, to compel the waterworks, company to remedy the defect. They are clearly liable and should be made to feel their responsibility without delay.
BAND OF HOEP MEETING - On Saturday evening the Band of hope connected with Sion Baptist Chapel, Cloughfold, held its first meeting of the winter session, under the presidency of the Rev W C Davies, BA, pastor. There was a good attendance of members. the choir recently established in connection with the society made its first appearance, conducted by Mr Henry Barnes, and led the singing, beside contributing a temperance round, "Ever be earnest." A nice address was delivered by Mr George Hargreaves and at intervals songs were given by Messers Henry Barnes, JW Tattersall and Oliver Eatough, the one given by the latter being in character.
MIDDLE BANK TOP FARM - As will be seen from an advertisement elsewhere, Captain Patrick is seeking tenders for the renting of this far,, which will shortly be vacated by the present occupant, Mr Edmund Trickett. It contains 70 acres of meadow, pasture and rough land, with house, cottage, bars, shipping, stable &c.
