NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BEVERLY. 
A straight forward move in the at- 
tempt to stop the illegal sale of cigar- 
etts and other smoking materials to 
children in Beverly was taken the first 
of the week when John Drago, who 
conducts the fruit store at the head of 
Railroad avenue, was summond into 
Court to answer to the charge of sell- 
ing cigars to a ten year old boy. 
Judge Safford fined Drago $10. 
The annual banquet of the Crescent 
club was held at Grand Army hall on 
Monday evening and proved a most 
delightful occasion. The evening was 
pleasantly spent in speech, story and 
song and a general good time was en- 
joyed. M. E. Meader, J. Frank Clark, 
George A. Wood, Charles W. Page 
and Edward T. Batchelder comprised 
the committee. 
The residents of Ryal Side must 
certainly have a store of patience for 
travel to and from that villiage is well 
nigh impossible. The Bridge street 
entrance has been entirely closed, 
save for a narrow footwalk, and the 
Elliott street way is congested with a 
sewer construction apparatus, there 
being heaps of clay and _ gravel 
on one side of the street to the height 
of some ten feet. This condition of 
things has existed for some two 
months, and it will be late winter be- 
fore a complete opening will be made. 
A number of those attending college 
spent Thanksgiving day at their 
_ homes in the city. 
Thirrell & Batchelder shoe 
facturers have moved to Lynn. 
The entertainment which was given 
last week for the benefit of the Old 
Ladies’ Home was repeated in the 
city hall on Tuesday evening before a 
large and enthusiastic audience. 
Samuel Lovett Foster died at his 
home on Federal street early Monday 
morning after a few days’ illness from 
typhoid fever. Mr. Foster was a con- 
sistant member of the First Baptist 
church and is the third ex-superinten- 
dent to pass away within the year. 
One daughter, Elizabeth R. Foster is 
yeft bereaved.

We put on the best RUBBER TIRES on the market. Don’t forget the Name and Number, 
Beverly Politics. 
The municipal political pot in Bev- 
erly has begun to sizzle in good fashion, 
and hardly a day passes without some 
new nomination paper being taken out 
at the city clerk’s office. Thereseems 
to be an unusual interest and activity 
taken this year, the reasons for which 
may be diverse. Not the least inter- 
esting is the mayoralty contest being 
waged between Messrs. Hamilton and 
Wallis. Both have a host of friends 
who are earnestly advocating the can- 
didacy of their leader. Both are well- 
know business men, have been in 
former city governments, and have 
ably represented their constituents 
while there. The Wallis faction is 
doing a little “sawing wood,” and 
look to their man as the winner. 
Down in Tammany, Ward 1, Alder- 
man Desmond and Councilman Brown 
are conducting a hot contest fora seat 
around the horseshoe. Mr. Brown 
has been a councilman for many years, 
and hopes to be “the”? man on Dec. 
13. Mr. Healey is unopposed in Ward 
2, but in Ward 3 Councilmen Roundy 
and Crosby are waxing warm in a 
fight to the finish. Mr. Woodbury, in 
Ward 4, is as yet unopposed, and 
every voter in Beverly will be glad to 
see him returned to the aldermanic 
board, for he has made them a good 
representative. 
Peculiarly enough, there seems to 
be more candidates in Ward 5 than in 
any other ward as yet, where Messrs. 
Dodge, the present incumbent, Coun- 
cilman Caldwell and Mr. J. A. Torrey 
are casting eyes toward the plum. 
Nobody has dared to contest with 
Councilman Hodgkins at the Farms, 
and he will come in unopposed, in all 
probability The same is true with 
Alderman-at-large Brown. Several 
new aspirants for the council have 
presented themselves, and several will 
be among the ‘also ran” when the 
votes are counted. There seems to 
be no particular council contest in any 
ward, however. The complete list of 
candidates to date is as follows :
