To be Sold, cheap, Pony, Cart and Harness together or separate. Too small for present owner. Apply E Schofield, Outporter, Rawtenstall Station.
ASLEEP IN CHARGE - At the Bury County Police Court, on Thursday, James Kilkain, carter, Rawtenstall, was summoned for being asleep whilst in charge of three horses and a lorry at Edenfield on the 6th last, and was fined 5s and costs.
As will be seen from a paragraph elsewhere, it has been decided to form a Photographic Association in Rossendale. With this end in view a meeting of professionals and amateurs was held at Rawtenstall on Thursday. The scheme is a good one, and we shall refer to it at length in a subsequent issue.
ST. MARY'S CHURCH. - On Thursday, for practice, the ringers of this church rang a touch of 518 grandsire triples, standing as follows:- 1st J Harling, 2nd J Ramsbottom, 3rd W Howarth, 4th E Whittaker, 5th E Nuttall (conductor), 6th J Smith, 7th J Rollerson, 8th Fred Nowell. Time twenty minutes.
TRAM COLLISION: - On Monday forenoon two trams came into collision at Thrutch, Waterfoot. An engine and car were coming to Rawtenstall and the driver should have stopped at the loop near to Baxter's brewery to allow the one going to Bacup to pass him, but instead of doing so he started to drive rapidly round the sharp corner at the entrance into the Glen. Fortunately the driver of the engine going to Bacup heard him coming, and reversing his engine, succeeded in stopping it and had also started to go backwards when the other engine ran into it with considerable force. No one was in any way hurt, but the tank of the engine coming towards Rawtenstall was considerably damaged and had to be taken to the depot for repairs. It is said that the driver was under the influence of drink at the time, and that he has since had to cave in consequence of his conduct.
THE FAIR:- The number of attractions at Waterfoot fair this year was very small indeed, but a large number of persons attended it, and the few stallholders &c appeared to do good business. As usual, the public-houses in the district had their various attractions, and at the Jolly Sailor Inn, Boothfold, a singing contest was held, for which h prizes were given for both sentimental and comic singing.
Rawtenstall 98 all out, Colne 91-9.
