THE TIMES. FRIDAY, AUGUST 6th, 1909.


NTOTES BY THE WAY. Another day will bring the commencement


1 /


of the annual holidax s, the great event com- Ijared with xvhich every other in the calendar falls comparatix'ely flat to the jaded mill worker. The daily round and common task will to-morrow end life— alone for a whole xveek, and in a few da}s Blackpool and the other re.sorts will hax'e their quota of Clitheronian.s none of whom will proba­ bly be suspected of being anything so “ common "— a': tliey like to jmt it— as a factor)- operatixe. The past fexv xvecks hax'e been taken up xvith the hatching of holiday schemes, the savings banks hax’e given out their golden coins, and all is noxv reailx- for xvhat xve all hope xvill prox-e .0 be one of the Ix-st of health providing x'aca- tions. When the cotton trade xvas in the “ boom ’ ’ slage-xve heard more than a little of the desirability of extendefl holidays. Xoxv the boot is rather on the other foot and in many ca.ses the an.xiety is not lest the stoppage sliordd Ite too short but too long, having regard to the question of xvays and means.


(Ilitherne peojxle, it folloxvs.


are in the main ])leased to find that the majority of the loc:d mills xvill stop only for the customarx- sexen daxs. Tho.se left bi'hind hax'e ample resources, including a. lox’ely country district to explore, xvhile those desiring to remain inside xvill no doubt learn xvith jxleasure that the skating rink at the Public Hall xvill be open daily throughout the holidavs.


❖ ❖ Notxvithstanding the great dejnession in


trade the holiday ■ clubs hax'e as usual di.s- bursed larg.- sums of money, but there ap- jxears to be a ilecrease all round compared xvith last year.


It by no means folloxvs


that all the money paid out xvill find its xvay into the hundred and one channels through which the gold of the l.ancashire toiler floxvs into the coffers of those xvho cater for his pleasure and entertainment. There are those xvho.. like the xvise folk they are, xvill not forget the injunction con­ tained in a one-time popular .song— “ Put a little bit axvay for a rainy day.” The amounts disbursed include the folloxving, though, of course, many minor sums have been distributed: — Waterlorj Holiday Fund (Messrs.

- A triend of mine one ilay this xveek |)ut into my hand a cutting from a Falmouth nexvsixaiter as folloxvs:


W A T E R NOTICE. Seeing no ap[)earance of the long con­


tinued DROUGHT ceasing, I HEREBY GIVE -NOTICE that, as a precautionary measure, the


W A TER SUPPl.V WII.r. BE TUR-NED O F F N IG H T L Y !


What do you Clitheronians think of that? Seeing no appearance of the long continuetl drought ceasing! And xve in the Ribble x'al-


Jey haxe been xvashed half out of existence b)' almost continuous |•;dn■ . The partly made hay has Iteen turneil to manure on the meatloxv land, and some of the fanners are facing ruin. --Vnd down at Falmouth they are shutting the xvater supply off bc- cau.se of a drought xvhich shoxvs no signs of ceasing. Is the drought travellhig in our direction or is another “ depre.ssion ” approaching? It likes me much that xvord of the xve-ather offii'e, “ depre.ssion.” being so like unto the general “ depression ” wet xxc-ather creates.


<> O $ Amongst the .several xvell known Clith­


eronians xvho hax e passed tixvay this xveek the name of Mr. J. 11. Chirke stands prom inent. Mj'. Clarke had a very 'lengthy period of .service as a memlier of the Clith eroe Board of Gmirdians and I recall no niore zealous public servant than he before his health broke down. All nnitters per­ taining to the poor laxv were watched by Mr. Clarke xvith a very close interest; at one period he could be relied upon to be present at every meeting of the Board year in, year out; While he xvas Chairman of the House Committee the position xvas cer­ tainly not a sinecure, for he made it a per- .sonal duty to investigate complaints of all kinds emanating from all sources. In that xvay he got across with many interests, Imt this in no manner affected his service xvhicli xvas always full and complete.


.<\s a


borough magistrate the .same inherent quali­ ty m.-inifested it.self in M-r-. Cl.arke, xvho nex-er tired of hearing details, hoxvcx'er tedious, if they threxv light on the ca.se l->e- fore him. ^ The prisoners he has lectured at the police court must have been verx' numerous, but one has always been afraid the effect xvas not so lasthig’ .as the advice tendered xvas disinterested and pronounced.


Another intere.sting per.sonalilx' was that


of Mr. John D.axvson, of Eshton Terrace, an old and respected Clitheroe tradesman. Though nex-er a publicly elected serx'.ant of the ratepayers, Mr. Daxvson shoxved his in­ terest in the town- in other w;ivs- and his rleath is much regretted. Mr. Daw.son was Itrobably the oldest grocer in the- toxv.n, having occupied the shop in E.shton Terrace for over 39 yea rs. He dierl somewhat sud- (lenly on ^foiirlny in the t^reciiliouse nt Iiis residence. Tie'had been in ill health for .some time but had improved of late. Mr. Daxx’son xvas a member of the Higher Eflti- cation Committee and an ox’erseer of the poor. He xvas a churchxx'arden at St.


M r


James’s until a few years ago and also trus­ tee of the living. The flag oh St. James’s Church xvas hoisted half mast out of respect. He was in his 67th xear. The interment took place at St. Mary’s cemeterj’ yesterday. •;< .>


Much sympathy is expressed with the


xvidow and family of Mr. John Roberts, draper, of IVellgate, xvhose end c.ame xvith startling suddenness on Tuesday. Mr. Roberts, xx'ho resided in Grafton Street, left home at .about six o’clock on Tuesday morning in his usual state of healtli for Nexvton and Slaidburn, making the journey on foot. About noon he entered the Parker’s Arms Hotel, Nexvton, and complained of ])ains in his che.st. A sthnulant xvas applied


:ind he xv:is condiu-ted to :i room to rest, but he exixired almos-; immediately. Mr. Roberts xv;is a brother of Councillor A. Rolierts and Mr. D. M. Roberts, of Woone Lane. .‘\s a trax’clling drajxer he was one of the most familiar figures in the district :ind he journeyed to Nexvton and Shaidbum about once :i fortnight for txventx' or thirty years.


.Yt an inque.st held at the Parker’s


.Arms, before Coroner F. D. Robinson, on Wednesday, a x'erdict of “ Death from natural causes ” xvas returned.


* .Mrs. Ilargreax'es. wife of Mr. John Flar-


greaxes, grocer, S.'dford, jjassed axvay last Friday ;ifternoon ;ind her demise is greatlv regretted by a large circle of friends. After a. lengthy illne.ss, Mrs. Wahshaxv, M.arket I’ hice. a hidy ;iged 76 years of age, breatlied her l:ist on .\Iond:iv and the interment took lilace yesterd:iy.


❖ O •> Clitheroe xvas yesterday invaded by clo.se


upon sex-en hundred poor children from Bhickburn. The children, xvho xx’ere in the ciiarge of Mr. Roger.son and the Rev. C. Duxbury, of All Saints’ , ;uid about 30 assistants, xx’ereof all ages and sizes and all denominations, no distinction behig made in the latter respect. The only qualification for the outing xvas pox'erty. So eager were some of the youngsters to visit the country that about fifty xx'ere xvaiting in All Saints’ school y.ard at eight o ’clock in tlie morning, the time for assembling being fixed for half- ]).ast nine.

Mainxvhile, it is the duty of" persons entited to a vote to see that their names are contained in the lists published on church doors and public buildings, xvith a viexv of h.ax-ing them inserted if omitted, or amended if misdescribed.


AVriting in the Diocesan Magazine with


reference to the Bishopric of AVhalley, the Bishop of Manchester says: “ Since my last letter the consent of the Croxvn has been obtained to the appointment of a second Bishopric Suffragan for this Diocese, and the Rev. A. G. Raxvstorne, Vicar of Croston, has been ajtpointed to the said Bishopric. Mr. Raxvstorne is xx'ell-knoxvn in all the central and northern parts of this Diocese, .and is highly esteemed for his oxvn and for his father’s sake. Having clt.arge of a rural parish, and having a curate to assist him, he xvill to more easily able to give the time xvhich a Suffragan has to give than if he held a toxvn living I look for- xvard, as do all xvho knoxv him, xvitli the gre.ate.st satisfaction to the prospect of his t:iking a share of the diocesan xxork. The appointment of a .second Suffragan was necessitated by the difficulties occasioned


i by the illness of Bishop Thornton at the beginning of this year. Shortly after his


I return home Bishop Thornton’ consulted I me as to the arrangements xvhich ought to I t o made for the future. It xvas clear that it xx’as neither desirable nor expedient that any plan should be made xvhich involved the Bishop’s resignation of tlie living of Blackburn. But T thought it desir.able that assistance should be obtained for the diocesan xvork, and it xvas agreed betxveen us that I should obtain such assistance; hence the application to the Croxvn for a nexv Bishopric Suffr.agan. ”

children to Clitheroe, arriving here shortly before half-pa.st ten and they then marched ^ to Brungerley Bridge xvhere they .sjjent the remainder of the d.ay. AYading in the river was freely indulged" in and a sxvimming competition for the toys cre.ated much in­ terest and amusement. The Youngsters also took part in races and gtunes, etc., and xx'ere provided xvith a substantial dinner and tea. The cost of the outing is defrax’ed bx- x-ohmtary subscription to which is added a grant of ;£2o 5s. od. from Pearson’s M’eckly Fresh Air Fund. Mr. Roger.son infonned me that on the xvav to the station at Bjackburn he was handed £^ bv Mr. Hallixx'ell, landlord of the Comn-ierci.al Hotel.

xvho xvas recently appointed curate at Wad- (jington in succession to the Rev. A. E. Sxvalloxv, xvas last xx'eek presented witli a hand.some illuminated address and a purse of gold by the clergy, officers and congre­ gation of Church Kirk. The letterpress is surrounded by an illuminated border con­ taining cartouches, circles, etc., emblazoned m bright colours .and gold in the 17th cen­ tury style. The circles contain the mono­ gram of Christ and the monogram of Mr. Poxx'ell. At the head of the address is an ox'al miniature xvater colour draxving of the exterior of the church, and .at the base an oblong miniature xvater colour drawing of the interior. The presentation xvas made by Colonel S.andeman and Mr. Poxvell xvas also the recipient of a fr.amed group photo­ graph of the helpers of the Catechism. The rev. gentleman, in replying said that at AVadrlngton he felt he had gone back fiftv years, h.aving gone back to the old Sunday .school methofls. The schools at AVadding- ton xvere like other Sund.ay Schools carried on on the old .systan, badly staffed. But in schools carried on in the Catechism systan there xvas no dearth of helpers.
