MAGNOLIA 
A lynx in Magnolia woods! Ugh! 
There have been rumors to that effect 
for some time, and many have said 
they were eye witnesses to its pres- 
ence. Now the animal has actually 
been espied, members of the West 
family claiming they heard and saw it 
near their residence, which is near 
Homan’s ice house! Get out your 
rusty old horse pistols and seven- 
shooters. 7

Covered by a large flat stone, the 
deepest well in Magnolia was dis- 
covered by workmen demolishing the 
old Willow cottage the otherday. It 
is said the well is over 50 feet deep, 
though this is probably exaggerated. 
It has not been used since the addition 
was built onto the house many years 
ago, and was constructed, no doubt, 
100 years ago. As the old chimney 
was being taken down, William 
McAuley found a U.S. penny bearing 
the date 1761, and he expected to 
come upon a hidden treasure as he 
removed the bricks, but no treasure 
appeared. 
Miss Nora McCarthy left last Sat- 
urday for Brockton, where she intends

Prop. Upton of the Oceanside is not 
to be disappointed next season in his

Friends of Bruce Chapman will be 
interested to learn he has joined Uncle

Weare pleased to report that George 
Staples, who was quite seriously in- 
jured a few weeks ago while blasting 
at the Penhallow estate, is able to be

Daniel Downing returned home 
Monday, after a month’s stay in Bos- 
ton, bringing with him a bride, who 
was Miss Margaret McCarthy of Bos- 
ton. They were married at the Im- 
maculate Conception church, Rox- 
bury, Jan. 2. 
Edward Ballou met with quite a 
serious mishap recently, falling on a 
nail projecting out of a board and tear- 
a bad hole in his hand. He was treated 
at the Emergency hospital in Glouces- 
ter, 
An effort is being made, through the 
instrumentality of George Adams of 
Freshwater Cove, to encourage the 
boys to organize a band. 
Edwin Leighton 
Edwin Leighton passed away at his 
home in Rockport, Tuesday, aged 78 
years. 
Mr. Leighton was probably one of 
the best known railroad men along the 
Gloucester branch, having been for a 
great many years conductor on this 
branch. He entered the employ of 
the Eastern railroad when a young 
man, before this road was absorbed by 
the Boston & Maine. He retired 
from the railroad in 1900, after 51 
years of continuous service.
