Christmas Tree—The fifth annual Christmas Tree and Fancy Fair in connection with the Wellingborough-road Mission was held on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Mission Hall. A profusion of toys and other Christmas presents was offered for sale, while other attractions in the shape of hoop-la, a shooting gallery, and competitions and refreshments were provided. The proceeds were for the Sunday School funds.
