BEVERLY FARMS 
A party of young ladies, friends of 
Miss Ethel M. Davis, whose marriage 
to J. Albert Mayberry is announced 
for next Tuesday evening, March 6, 
called upon her last Wednesday even- 
ing. As soon as Miss Davis had sur- 
vived the surprise, she was “caught in 
a shower’’ .of .all sorts of tin ware, 
which will prove very useful within a 
week or two. It is understood that 
the friends and acquaintances of the 
couple are invited without any further 
notice to the reception in the chapel 
of the Baptist church, following the 
wedding. 
We are pleased to report an im- 
provement in the condition of Deacon 
Edwin Pride. 
Joseph McKeone has resigned the 
position of sexton at St. Margaret’s

will be special services, on Tuesdays 
and Fridays, at St. Margaret’s church

the third entertainment of the course, 
consisting of a musicale and literary 
program by outside talent, and a 
lecture on Salem witchcraft by the 
Rev. C. H. Wheeler, illustrated with 
stereopticon views. The young men 
made the event a “ladies’ night.”

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Preston post, 188, and associates 
held their usual weekly gathering on 
Thursday evening, in G.A.R. hall: 
Thomas D. Connolly occupied about 
one-half an hour in a description of 
the journey home from California to 
Boston, which was exceedingly inter- 
esting, and concludes the series upon 
which Mr Connolly has spoken for 
several weeks. The balance of the 
evening was devoted to music and in 
@ social way. 
Jeremiah F. Linehan entertained 
the Beverly Farms firemen at the 
West street engine house with a pho- 
nographic concert on last Monday 
evening.

the annua] meeting and banquet of

Addison Davis, who\last week com- 
menced to reap his crop of. ice ‘at 
Gravelly pond, succeeded in securing 
enough of good quality, 10 inches 
thick, to supply the demands of his 
customers, but should the oppcrtunity 
offer itself to secure more, Mr, Davis 
will add to his stock by the recutting 
of sufficient to ensure a plenty. 
New Telephone Rates 
Beverly Farms’ residents are much 
pleased over the announcement of the 
telephone company that they have ac- 
cepted the proposition of the city 
council and lower rates will be the 
result. The new rate will give Farms 
people a telephone for $25 a year on 
party lines with a slight advance for 
less subscribers or private lines. The 
mileage from Beverly which has been 
figured before has been cut off, which 
brings the rate down nearly one-half. 
The new proposition embodies in it 
a creation of a new district, making 
free service to all parts of Beverly, but 
those who desire to telephone to 
Salem, Peabody, Marblehead and 
Danvers, which under the old rates 
was included in the free service will 
hereafter pay for calls. The new 
schedule applies to all the year round 
subscribers only, and does not affect. 
The Beverly 
Farms Exchange will open as usual in’ 
Marshall’s Block, the coming spring, 
but there seems to be some question ~ 
the summer subscriber. 
as to its being continued there after 
this year by way of a curtailing of ex- 
pense. It is the opinion of the com- 
pany that the business could as con- 
veniently be handled from the 
Beverly Exchange.
