BEVERLY FARMS, 
Arthur Meeker and family arrived 
from Chicago this week. The family 
arrived Wednesday, and Thursday 
morning the horses and carriages ar- 
rived by special car. Last year Mr. 
Meeker came from Chicago in his 
private car, but this year his arrival 
was not enlivened by this feature. 
They are at the cottage they had _ last 
season, near the Oliver Wendell 
Holmes place. 
Among the latest to arrive here are 
the R. D. Howes. They came on 
from Chicago Thursday and are oc- 
cupying the same cottage they had 
last season.

Last Tuesday: afternoon when the 
hook-and-ladder was being pulled 
from the station to answer the alarm 
fora fire at E. C. Swift’s place in 
Pride’s Crossing, the horses turned 
quickly as they left the building and 
struck the door of the engine house 
wrenching it from its hinges and 
smashing the 
wagon. A movement is now on foot 
and a petition is being circulated at 
Beverly Farms asking the board of 
engineers to condemn the _pres- 
ent hook-and-ladder and to recom- 
mend the purchase of a new one. 
When this was purchased a number 
of years ago it was intended for hand 
use and not to be drawn by horses _ so 
that now it is considered entirely in- 
adequate for the purpose.

Beginning with July 1 the Beverly 
Farms postoffice will be changed 
from a fourth to a third class office. 
This step has been anticipated many 
years as the business of the office has 
almost doubled .within the past half 
decade. The change will necessitate 
the appointment of a postmaster by- 
the president and it means that Mr. 
Stanley will be a salaried official from 
now on instead of working on a com- 
mission basis as heretofore
