STAFFORDSHIRE . Bukton-on-Trent . —Alley Lodge ( No . 907 ) . —The anniversary of this Lodge was held on Tuesday , January 29 th , 1856 , at which the installation of the W . M , for the ensuing year took place under pleasing circumstances . The day had been looked forward to by many on account of the zeal which the W . M . elect , Bro .

example to follow , for he had won the esteem of every Brother . In the year 1851 , Bro . Stone was appointed W . M . to the Derbyshire Lodge , No . 143 , and served as W . M . during 1852 and 1853 : he revived the Lodge , and was the means of many very valuable members joining the Fraternity .

June , 1854 ; nor to the Portland Lodge , No . 920 , which , was formed in August , 1854 , by Bro . Stone .
