Mrs. George Knight has been visiting 
her sister in Lynn the past few days. 
It is now ‘“‘Colonel’’ Floyd. One 
of the Boston papers in speaking of his 
running for Senior Vice Division Com- 
mander of the Mass. S. of V. calls him 
*“Colonel Floyd.’’ 
W. S. Patterson was in town yester- 
_ day fora brief visit. He came down 
over the road in Mr. Bartlett’s auto, 
bringing the car here to be operated up- 
on at the paint shop of J. P. Lations. 
The tickets for the Manchester club 
_ minstrels will be placed on sale next 
week. Every’seat in the hall will be re- 
served, at 50 and 35 cents. The date 
of the show is Friday evening, Feb. 21. 
A wood-chopper employed by Ayer, 
Bros. cut a bad gash in his foot yester- 
_day,morning while at work off Forest 
street. He was attended by Dr. Glen- 
denning, three stitches being necessary 
to close the wound. 
It is expected that the special commit- 
tee on water supply will have their re- 
port ready for the printer the middle of 
the coming week, and that the special 
town meeting will be called the middle 
of this month, probably for the 17th. 
The financial year of the town closed 
yesterday, and the selectmen were kept 
busy atthe meeting Thursday evening 
approving bills. A notice appears in this 
issue calling for articles for the town 
warrant to be in the hands of the select- 
men on or before 7 p. m.. of Saturday, 
Feb. 15. 
An interesting exhibit of antiques in 
the window of the B. L. Allen drug 
store, Central square, includes the first 
mortar and pestle ever used in Man- 
chester. It was used for powder- 
_ ing herbs, etc., and compounding medi- 
cine by Dr. Farah, some 75 or 80 years 
ago. There isalso a pair of old hand 
scales and cup weights used by doctors 
years ago. ‘Ihe motar is dug out of a 
solid piece of wood,—said to be lignum 
vite. 
The “‘barn yard dance ” is a thing of 
the past for the Manchester Town hall, 
if we are rightly informed, for Janitor 
Haskell has issued an edict against it. 
He says if they want to dance the “‘ Barn 
yard,”’ the barn yard is the proper place 
for it, and not the Town hall. 
reas »n why he has arrived at this con- 
_ clusion. is the probability that after it is 
_ danced once or twice more the plaster 
on the ceiling of the offices in the lower 
part of the hall will join in the spirit of 
the occasion and waltz itself from the 
said ceiling to the floor. The ceiling 
_ already shows the result of the dance. 
_ We might suggest that the town vote to 
build a new town hall. This one isn’t 
according to modern ideas.

Mrs. Long’s class in dancing will 
meet next week on Thursday evening. 
A delegation of some 25 K. of C. 
members went to Beverly Wednesday to 
witness the exemplification of the third 
degree at the Beverly council. Nine of 
the candidates in the large class were 
from the local lodge. 
Melvin Ingalls, 15, and Harold Burke, 
17, the two Gloucester lads who broke 
into the crossing house at the Sea street 
crossing a week ago Thursday night, 
stealing a revolver and two razors, . were 
before the court at Gloucester Monday. 
The Burke boy pleaded guilty and seemed 
to treat the matter rather lightly, not 
realizing the seriousness of the situation. 
The court found probable cause and 
bound him over to the May term of the 
superior court in the sum of $400. “The 
Ingalls boy had his case continued until 
Thursday morning, on account of being 
a juvenile. “Thursday the case was con- 
tinued until today. The house they 
broke into is that at which Luke Morgan 
is tender.
