BAND OF HOPE ANNIVERSARY. The anniversary of the above society was held on Saturday, October 19, when a public tea was provided in the schoolroom to which about 60 sat down. In the evening public meeting was held in the Board School, when Mrs. Jennie Walker, “The Yorkshire Nightingale,” gave a powerful and eloquent address to a good audience. The Rev. W. K. Greenland presided, and part of the Wolverton Wesleyan String Band played several selections, under the leadership of Mr. Swain. Mrs. Walker also sang some solos which were much appreciated. On Sunday Mrs. Walker conducted three services in the Wesleyan Chapel to good congregations, especially in the evening, the building being crowded. Solos were sung at each meeting by Mrs. Walker, and collections were taken at each in aid of the Band of Hope funds, the result being very satisfactory.
