MANCHESTER 
Misses Grace and Jessie Macgregor 
entertained a merry party of young 
people at their home, West Manches- 
ter, Saturday evening. A feature of 
the evening was a Christmas tree, on 
which were gifts for all present, some 
of the ‘hits’ being quite fetching, 
indeed, it is said.

Mr. Jackson is caretaker, for the bal- 
ance of the winter. 
Reclining peacefully beside the rail- 
road tracks near the Hopkins barn, 
Monday afternoon, and kept warm 
only by the contents of a pint bottle, 
Chief Peabody found two Beverly 
Farms workmen. In Court Tuesday, 
a fine of $5 was imposed on each. 
Not being able to pay that amount, 
one was given two weeks’ free board 
at Salem jail, and the other was given 
a fortnight to raise $5.

It was a merry crowd of young peo- 
ple that held forth at the Town hall 
last Saturday evening and enjoyed 
one of those delicious cock stews for 
which Manchester has been famous. 
It was a semi-masquerade affair, a 
number appearing in costume. Bert 
Floyd, who has since returned to his 
studies at Dartmouth, was the chef. 
After the supper dancing was enjoyed. 
There were ten couples. Long’s or- 
chestra furnished music.

Miss Edith Sweet was the victim of 
a surprise party Wednesday evening, 
when some twenty of her friends gave 
her a kitchen shower at her home on 
Central street. She had been out in 
the early evening, and when she re- 
turned, about 8 o’clock, she founda 
room full of guests awaiting her. 
Though completely surprised, she 
grasped the situation and proved her- 
self a good hostess. The evening was 
passed very pleasantly playing games, 
etc. Refreshments, which had been 
brought along, were served during the 
evening.
