One of the gates at the crossing 
north of the station was blown down 
by the strong gale Sunday, and a new 
one has been put in its place during 
the week. 
Mr. and Mrs. Henry P. McKean 
have been down to New York for 
the horse show this week. They en- 
tertained over Sunday Maxwell

Repairs and alterations are being 
made, and will be made later, on many 
of the summer houses through this 
section. Among the most extensive 
improvements however, are the Moore, 
Frick and Harcourt Amory jobs.

younger set at the horse show in New 
York the past week has been Mrs. 
Austen Gray (Miss Alice Burnham), 
who, with Mr. Gray, has been occupy-

ners being given in their honor.

sailed last Saturday, will spend most 
of their time abroad in Paris, where

A Breezy Thanksgiving Proclama- 
tion, 
Mayor J. H. Powell, of Henderson, 
Kentucky, has followed a local cus- 
tom long in existance there, of is- 
suing a Thanksgiving proclamation. 
He says: 
“Let us be thankful that our colo- 
nels are not so full of corn as our corn 
is full of kernels. Though the sur- 
rounding soil, tickled with a hoe, is 
laughing with a harvest, poor folks 
are still with us. From thin soup and 
cold potatoes, Good Lord, deliver 
them! 
“Oh, Christian men and women, 
astonish the stomach of the starving 
sufferer with oysters, turkey and 
mince pie. Adorn the ragged pauper 
with comfortable clothing. An ounce 
of practice is worth a pound of preach- 
ing. 
“ Dearly beloved, let us play a harp 
of a thousand strings and sing a new 
song of praise, and give thanks unto 
the Lord for the most charming crop 
of beautiful babes ever born in the old 
town since creation dawned and the 
morning stars sang together. Sweet, 
dainty, darling ones, like sunbeams in 
shady places, kick up your little heels 
and make of earth a heaven. 
‘* With charity unto all and malice 
toward none, I do hereunto subscribe 
my official signature to the words that 
have been written this fourth day of 
November.” 
Poles in Bad Condition. 
Superintendent George Kimball of 
Manchester with a representative of 
the N. E, Tel. and Tel. company, has 
made his annual inspection of the tele- 
phone poles in the town and has re- 
ported to the selectmen that there are 
135 poles in town in a bad condition. 
Further investigation by the BREEZE 
man within the past few days reveals 
the fact that many of these poles are 
in a dangerous condition and calls for 
immediate action. Not less than a 
dozen poles quite near the centre of 
the town are rotted almost to the 
heart, and from appearances it would 
take but little force to break some of 
the poles.
