NEW POST OFFICE. 
Beverly Farms Miil will be Handled in New 
Quarters Soon, 
Beverly Farms is to have a new 
post-office the first of the coming year 
—or, at least, the present office is to 
be changed from fourth to third class, 
and a store in Neighbor’s hall build- 
ing will be devoted exclusively for 
post-office purposes. 
The papers have just been signed 
for a léase of the store occupied for 
the past two or three years by Charles 
Martin, the bicycle dealer. 
Last summer Elmer Standley, the 
present postmaster, received the an- 
nouncement from Washington that 
the office had been changed froma 
fourth to a third-class office. Since 
then the government officials have 
been looking around for a favorable 
place for new quarters. 
The announcement will be received 
with considerable interest by the sum- 
mer contingent as well as by the 
Farms people in general. A thor- 
oughly up-to-date equipment. and ap- 
pliances are to be installed in the 
new office, with new boxes, etc, The 
new quarters will probably be ready 
by January 6, 1905. ; 
Mr. Standley’s re-appointment by 
President’ Roosevelt, last summer, 
was confirmed Thursday by the United 
States Senate. 
FRIENDS’ BIBLE CLASS, 
An Enterprising Feature of the Work at 
Beverly Farms Church. 
One of the enterprising features of 
the work at the Baptist church, Bev- 
erly Farms, is the Friends’ Bible class 
of which James B. Dow, one of the 
most prominent business men of Bev- 
erly, is the teacher. The class was 
organized and taught fora long time 
by the late Mrs. Henry Whitman, one 
ot the most beloved of the summer 
colony in this section. 
Through its earnest efforts the class 
has been a great aid to the church in 
many ways. The crowning feature of 
the work, however, was the building 
of the minister’s house on High street 
during the past year. The class as- 
sumed all responsibility for the com- 
pletion, care and maintenance of the 
building, which is now being held in 
trust for them by Messrs. Standley, 
Dow and Ober, as the class is not in- 
corporated. It is the purpose of the 
class to transfer the property to the 
church as soon as the mortgage is 
wholly removed. 
= A yearago the mortgage had been re- 
duced to $2,350, but during the pres- 
ent year the debt has been reduced to 
$1,700, besides expending $150 on im- 
provements and paying the taxes. 
At a recent meeting of the church 
the class was commended by a vote of 
thanks for their faithful work and for 
the excellent results accomplished. 
The class is paid each year $144 for 
the use of the building for the pastor. 
The last reduction to the debt was 
the receipt of a check for $100 a short 
time ago from Mrs. Henry G. Weston 
to commemorate her birthday. 
BEVERLY FARMS. 
Gregory Connolly started Tuesday 
for Scarboro-on-the-Hudson, to start 
work on a big construction job just 
awarded Connolly Bros. there. 
Captain J. Frank Blaney took 60 
barrels of herring from his trap off 
West Beach, Tuesday, which is a 
remarkable record for this section of 
the shore at this season of the year. 
It will be of general interest to 
Farms folk to know that Crowley & 
Lunt, the hustling young publishers 
of the Beverly City Directory, will 
number the streets in this section 
during the coming winter, when they 
start work on their directory. There 
has been a great need of such action 
for some years, and this announce- 
ment will be a pleasing one. 
Col. John Henry Watson was one of 
the speakers at the Wallis rally in 
Centreville, Tuesday night. , 
Howard Doane conducted the Y. P. 
S.C.E. meeting last night. The topic 
was, ‘*Sermon on the Mount: What 
Jesus teaches about Blessedness.”’
