BEVERLY FARMS 
The new social and athletic club 
held a business meeting on Thursday 
evening at their rooms in the Hardy 
building, on High street, at which 
several new members were added to 
the membership of the club, and Ben- 
jamin F. Hawkins, jr., was elected 
a member of the executive committee. 
Considerable interest has already de- 
veloped in the several contests now 
going on in checkers and whist. Al- 
ready several features have been 
mapped out, in which the Farms peo- 
ple will be invited to partake, a near 
event being the whist party and dance 
to be held at Marshall’s hall. The 
club has already made a move to put 
in the field two well-balanced base- 
ball nines, and as soon as spring opens 
a convenient field is to be secured for 
this purpose. 
Winthrop F. Low, in looking over 
some more effects of the old Low 
homestead at Essex recently, came 
across several old-time documents 
and indentures of exceeding interest 
to the reader of these modern times, 
the papers being those of the times of 
1765 and are yellow with age. It will 
be remembered that a short time ago 
the BREEZE printed a copy of some 
old documents found by Mr. Low, 
and these are a new find by him in 
addition to those printed by the 
BREEZE. 
An object of interest to many was a 
dead seal that came ashore at West 
beach one day this week. 
Rev. Mr. Pond will speak tomorrow 
night on ‘‘Noah and the flood.” Mr. 
Pond is now preaching a series of 
Sunday morning sermons on the 
Lord’s Prayer. A week hence his 
topic will be “Kingdom of God,” 
“Guidance of God,” “Love of God” 
and ‘‘Majesty of God.” 
Mr. Winthrop F. Low of Low’s liv- 
ery stable goes to New York city next 
week on business and pleasure com- 
bined. 
The mild weather has been an in- 
ducement to the owners of cottages 
on the .shores of Gravelly and Che- 
bacco lakes to keep them open, and 
frequent parties for a day at a time 
are quite the vogue. 
The Firemen’s Relief Fair 
_ The fair of the Firemen’s Relief 
association, held in city hall all this 
week, has been an attractlon for many 
Farms’ people, large delegations going 
to Beverly each evening, and not only 
had the pleasure of aiding the good 
cause by their presence and pocket- 
books, but the entertainments were a 
source of enjoyment for all. 
The tables representing the depart- 
DEPOSITS MADE DURING JANUARY IN THE

And on Saturday Evenings from 7 to 9 for Deposits 
ment from the Farms occupied con- 
spicuous places in the hall and received 
splendid patronage, a generous sum 
being added to the proceeds of the 
fair. Mrs. Eli R. Hodgkins was one 
of the ladies who presided at the 
attraction offered by the engineer’s 
department called “Ye old town 
pump,” representing an old-fashioned 
pump from which “buckets full”’ of 
articles of all kinds and descriptions 
were drawn. 
Engine 3 of the Farms had a ‘‘won- 
der table,” where all sorts of nice 
things were done up in packages and 
sold to customers. Mrs. W. B. Publi- 
cover had charge of this and was as- 
sisted by Mrs. Wm. E. Elliott, Mrs. J. 
Fred Bennett, Mrs. Marshall T. Lar- 
com, Mrs. J. M. Publicover and Mrs. 
Alice Williams. 
The West Street Ladder 2 company 
had a table upon which was displayed 
a large assortment of aprons and many 
other useful articles and presided over 
by Mrs. Lewis G. Williams, assisted 
by Mrs. Wm. S. Pike, Mrs. Geo. F. 
Wood and Miss Ethel Davis. 
Hose 4, the Centreville company, 
had a unique and attractive showing 
of farm products, all raised at the 
agricultural end of ward 6, together 
with glasses of refreshing sweet, home- 
made cider. An appreciative feature 
of this table was the line of 15 red fox 
skins. Capt. John H. Foster was in 
command, and his company was made 
up of Lieut. George W. Standley, 
Stephen D. Edwards, Albert Stand- 
ley and Horace E. Elliott. 
The hose-laying contest, which fur- 
‘ nished the entertainment on Wednes- 
day evening, was participated in by 
representatives from the Centreville 
company, which made an excellent 
showing, doing the trick in 144-5 
seconds.
