| Bozeat - In 1884 Rachel Hill, wife of the parish churchwarden W F Hill, was buried on 16th January aged 71. A note added to the parish register states “This man formerly kept a lace school in Bozeat, when the lace trade was so good. He made lace himself, up to a short time before his death, and some of it was sold to Mrs Sartoris of Rushden Hall.” |

BRASS BAND—The above band paraded the village of Bozeat on Saturday afternoon last, when collections were taken in aid of the Northampton Infirmary. The people responded most liberally to the appeal, the sum of £4 10s. 3d. being collected. The members of the band wish to express their thanks to the public for so generously responding to their appeal in aid of so useful an institution, and also for the financial help and assistance which they have from time to time rendered to the band fund. The band has fulfilled several engagements during this season and has others to fulfil yet. They are to be congratulated on the way they have improved under the able tuition of Mr. W. Reynolds and Mr. N. Silby.—Some few of the members of the band, who were victims of the unfortunate circumstance at Cogenhoe, suffered sharply for a few days, but are now recovered.

HOME FROM THE WAR—Private John Drage, who has been serving with the Northamptonshire Regiment in South Africa, arrived in Northampton with a batch of Reservists on Monday. Arriving at Bozeat late in the evening, he was met at the entrance of the village by the Victoria Brass Band, and, to the stirring strains of "See the conquering hero comes," was escorted to his home, where "Home, sweet home" was played. Private Drage has another brother in South Africa serving with the Army Medical Corps, whilst a third holds the medal for ambulance work.
