BEVERLY FARMS 
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Eldridge 
of Newark, N. J., have been visiting 
friends at Beverly Farms the past 
week. 
Mrs. John H. Linehan has the sym- 
pathy of her many friends here over 
the loss of her step-mother, Mrs, Mc- 
Cormack, who passed away last Sun- 
day at her home in Danvers. 
Among the recent marriage licenses 
applied for at the Beverly City hall is 
that of Arthur J. Harlow of Beverly 
and Miss Ethel Stanley of Fitchburg. 
Miss Stanley formerly lived at Bev- 
erly Farms. 
The Liberty club, a party of Bev- 
erly Farms young men, are giving a 
public dance in Neighbor’s hall on 
“the night before,’ Tuesday evening 
next, July 3d. Cadigan’s orchestra 
will furnish the music. It will be a 
1 o'clock party. 
Alderman Thos. D. Connolly has 
secured from the City of Beverly a 
portion of the Fourth of July cele- 
bration funds, sufficient to pay for a 
band concert at West Beach on July 
4th, from 2 to 3.30 p. m. Heretofore 
Beverly Farms raised its own money 
by popular subscription and did not 
ask for any of the city’s appropria- 
tion. This year, because Beverly 
Farms is not raising any money, 
Alderman Connolly got busy and se- 
cured the band for an hour and a half 
so we are to have a celebration here 
even if it is a small one. 
Beverly over subscribed its quota 
for the Red Cross war fund by nearly 
doubling the amount established, which 
was $30,000, by the Red Cross cam- 
paigners. To this amount the local 
committee went $5,000 better. At the 
close of the campaign last Monday 
night, Beverly had subscribed $63,- 
703.39, since which time this total has 
been increased by later donations. Of 
interest to Beverly Farms people in 
connection with the above is the fact 
that local people, which did not include 
the donations of the summer resi- 
dents, donated $852.00, the work on 
soliciting being done by Team No. 6, 
composed of Alderman Thomas D. 
Connolly, leader; William R. Brooks, 
Geo. S. Day, Fred W. Varney, How- 
ard A. Doane, Frank I. Lamasney 
and Howard E. Morgan. From the 
sale of carnations on last Saturday in 
Beverly Farms, $102.00 was netted. 
Mrs. Wm. R. Brooks captained the 
Beverly Farms district and was assist- 
ed by Mrs. Helen Dougherty and 
Mrs. John H. Linehan, with a large 
corps of willing Farms girls and boys.

NOTICE 
I wish to give emphatic denial to 
the report that I have sold my provi- 
sion business in Beverly Farms. 
There is not an atom of truth in the 
report. 1 have been in business on 
the North Shore for 30 years and 
have no immediate intention of mak- 
ing a change.

Miss Edith Marshall next week 
will go to Bemis, Me., where she 
plans to spend the summer. 
Miss Marie Linehan and Miss 
Rosamand Connolly arrived home on 
Monday last after a delightful four 
weeks’ stay at the Sargent camp at 
Peterboro. 
Alderman Thomas D. Connolly has 
been honored by appointment as 
chairman of the Exemption Board in 
this section, known as District 23— 
The other members are Oliver T. 
Roberts, Manchester,-and Dr. James 
A. Shatswell, Beverly. The appoint- 
>ment was a surprise to the Beverly 
Farms alderman, for the first he 
knew of it was when he read it in the 
daily papers. 
Because Beverly Farms in a finan- 
cial way is “bone dry,” Liberty bonds, 
Red Cross contributions and many 
other donations towards public affairs 
recently having been numerous, Bev- 
erly Farms’ 4th of July committee this 
year has not the heart, the courage 
nor the bad judgment to go out and 
solicit subscriptions for a July Fourth 
celebration. Therefore for the first 
time in many years Beverly Farms 
people will not enjoy its usual good 
time. While the committee is very 
sorry indeed that it cannot provide 
some kind of a program to fittingly 
observe the day, all are agreed that 
under the circumstances, the money 
this year should be used for other pur- 
poses. Many are planning to attend 
the big patriotic celebration in Man- 
chester on the Fourth.

Judge Michael J. Connolly has been 
named as chairman of the Exemption 
Board in Waltham. Judge Connolly 
is a former well known Beverly Farms 
resident, spends many of his sum- 
mers here and is a brother of Messrs. 
Connolly Bros., of this place. 
In a soldiers and sailors’ fight with 
the police of the Metropolitan Park 
dept., at Revere last Tuesday evening, 
when several were badly hurt, Patrol- 
man Leon Pierce, a new man on the 
force, was in the thickest of it, and 
received hard usage, but will no 
doubt be all right again in a few days. 
Pierce is a former well known Bey- 
erly Farms young man and has just 
been appointed to the Metropolitan 
Park police. 
The phrase “horse sense” was dis- 
cussed in class, and the teacher told 
one of the boys to write a sentence 
containing that phrase. ‘The boy la- 
bored for ten minutes and produced 
this: “My father didn’t lock the 
barn door, and he ain’t seen the horse 
sense.”
