MARLPOOL
Annual Social Gathering – On Monday evening about 180 persons sat down to an excellent repast in the Marlpool “Crystal Palace,” the occasion being the Annual Invite of Mr. Albert Butler, who has generously given this annual treat to his numerous friends for many years. The large glasshouse was lavishly decorated with choice ferns and plants, and lit up with numerous lanterns. A number of ladies from Heanor, Langley, and Langley Mill presided over the tables. Subsequently, a very pleasant evening was spent, dancing being indulged in, and numerous songs being contributed by Mr. A. Naylor and others. Messrs. S. Bramley (Heanor), and Downing (Marlpool), presiding at the piano.
