Widnes Examiner. — 1913-11-15 (Widnes, Cheshire, England)

LINES FROM LYMM.  'Lymm has now got its lake. What will the ratepayers do with it? • Has boating been suggested at all? We have a faint, dim recollection That the subject Was once mentioned, And' that boating' thet with objection, As it was not desired, to turn Lyllllll,into a rowdy pleasure resort. Didn't someone say he didn't' Want " tu'penny Sunday schools to come There for the sake of the dam boating"? Although LYmin has now salt and waler, :-;1 It .water Blackpool has as yet • No need tO be lined with -jealousy At Lynn's-attractions as d " seasid,e " resort. What will the -Council do with the Dingle? Will they remove the natural beauty And infuse 'artificial landscape work, As have done other Council in similar cases? Lymm Council is a very sensible body, And it is not likely they will do anything To mar the Dingle of its beauty. Temperance Sunday proved a marked success • Soriic strong sermons were preached against drink.  Strong d 1 n 1;, of course, needs strong comments.  Whist Drive.—At the Oughtringion • Social Club whist drive on Saturday the prize-winners were Messrs. James Tiolt, IV., Copeland and G. •Copeland.  Hounds In Full Cry.--\Booth's Hill was' treated to a very unusual spectacle on Wednes day at noon, when the .Cheshire Hounds came along in full cry after a fox which had broken away and got into the Bongs. The appearance of the hounds and the scarlet, coated huntsmen presented a gay scene as they proceeded. up Cherry-lane to the Knutsford-road.  Organ Recital.—At the monthly organ recital at the Parish Church on Sunday, the organist, Mr. W. Cooke, paid a tribute to the memory of the late Mr. W. S. Hodgson by selecting as his programme several pieces which were special favourites of the deceased gentleman, viz. : Marche Fulnebre et Chant Seraphique, A. Guilmant ; Lieder ohne Worte " Duetto," Mendelssohn; and Offertoire, G. Major, L. Wely.  Missionary M eeti ng.—A most interesting missionary meeting was held at the Higher-lane Baptist Chapel, when the chair with efficiently occupied by Mr. J. 'D. B. Smith, the honorary secretary of the local Free Church Council. A short statement concerning money raised for the Missionary Society during the past year was given by the Pastor, the Rev. E. E. Lovell. The deputation was the Rev. Trevor Roberts, who gave a most inspiring account of his work in India. The address was much appreciated, and at the clOse of the meeting hearty thanks were accorded' to the chairman and speaker..  . Temperance Women.—The Lymm Branch of the British Women's Temperance Association held another successful meeting in the Primitive Methodist Schoolroom on Tuesday. Mrs. H. S. Brown presided over the good company present, which was addressed. by Miss Bond, of West Kirby, who gave a detailed and inspiring report of the meetings of the association, which wore held in London last May. The speaker also gave an appreciation and summary of the book "Out of the Abyss," laying stress on the pernicious effects of tampering with intoxicants 'even for medicinal purposes, and the terrible results which might thereby accrue. , Mr. Balsillie sang a solo, and afternoon tea was dispensed.  Death of Mrs. J. Lawson.—lt is with deep regret that we announce the death of Mrs. Lawson, wife of Mr: Joseph Lawson, of Higher-lane, Lymm, who passed away at the Manchester Royal Infirmary on Sunday afternoon, after a painful illness. For many years Mrs. Lawson has been an active member of the„Broom Edge Primitive Methodist Chapel and Sunday School. A keen -enthusiast in the missionary cause, one of the last things she was troubled about was the future welfare of her missionary collecting box, and her death is rendered more pathetic by the fact that the annual missionary meetings are being held this week-end. As a cheerful and sympathetic person, she will be greatly missed in both. the public and Church life of the district. The funeral took Place on Wednesday, when the Rev. E. E. Lovell conducted a service in the Higher-lane Baptist Chapel, after which the Rev. F. W. Ferguson took charge of the committal service in the adjoining graveyard. .The chief mourners were the deceased's lady's husband, sister, and Sunday School scholars, whilst a large !Amber of persons were present in order to pay their last respects.  Jumped Into the Canal.—Elsie Buckley', a young woman from Lymm, was charged at the Petty Sessions, held at Stockton Heath on Tuesday, with attempting suicide by jumping into the Bridgewater Canal at Latchford Without, on November 6th.—William Massey, a boatman, saw accused on the bank. She appeared distressed and threw up her hands and jumped into the canal. The water was four feet deep at the spot. Massey moved his boat to the bank, got off,. and arriving at the spot where accused had been, found she had disappeared, but managed to get-her out. He asked her why she had acted like that. She replied that she was going to get married, an 4 that the "young fellow had deceived her." The boatman took her to Mr. Caldwell's house.—Josiah Caldwell, Chester-road, Latchford Without, spoke to taking accused into his house and having her clothing dried.—P.C. Jones said when charged, accused replied, "Yes, I did."—:Mr. Thomas Ridgway, on the defendant's behalf, said the girl had for some considerable time been of a rather nervous temperament, and was attended by a doctor for nervous depression.. She had been upset about a love affair, and that had preyed on her mind. She now regretted her action. Her father (who was present in court) promised- to take her under his control, which was probably the best thing, and he asked that the case should be dismissed on that understanding.—This was agreed to.
