BEVERLY FARMS 
House hunting seems to be quite a 
popular vocation at the Farms now-a- 
days, but unfortunately there are none 
to be secured. It is a pity, indeed, 
there should be such a scarcity of 
living quarters, thus preventing the 
growth of the place. 
Mrs. George F. Wood is on a visit 
of a week or ten days with Mr. and 
Mrs. Otis Putnam, Danvers. 
It was a gay gathering that filled 
G.A.R hall Monday evening, when 
the members of the Oriental embroid- 
ery class entertained the gentlemen. 
A splendid turkey supper was served 
in"*the dining room at 6 0’clock, and 
in,justice to the men it might be said 
that they showed more interest in this 
meeting than they have in all the 
other meetings of the class combined. 
The balance of the evening, after the 
supper, was spent socially. 
Miss Lena Quillan returned to the 
Farms the first of the week from 
Nova Scotia, her old home, where she 
has been spending the winter. 
George Dix, the popular clerk at 
the North Shore fish market, has been 
“under the weather” the past week, 
and ‘“Stub’”’ Woodbury has been sub- 
stituting in his place. 
Eli R. Hodgkins has been appointed 
third assistant engineer of the fire 
department by Mayor Wallis this 
week, which is a promotion, as Mr. 
Hodgkins had previously been fourth 
assistant. 
A special car of horses for the 
Frick stables arrived with the 10.15 
train from Boston Thursday evening. 
__ The entertainment committee of the 
G.A.R. association, at the regular 
weekly gathering Thnrsday evening, 
provided a unique and unusual num- 
ber for the “good of the order.’”’ By 
pre-arrangement a lot of fake bills, 
motions, resolutions, etc., were intro- 
duced, thick and fast by those who 
were on to the scheme, the result 
being a red hot meeting, resembling 
an old-fashioned town meeting The 
entertainment committee especially 
were given the “hook” in earnest for 
everything they hadand had not done. 
At the conclusion the “fraud’’ was 
exposed, and the assembly adjourned 
to the banquet hall and found a splen. 
did spread, consisting of one of Capt- 
Blaney’s famous clam chowders, await- 
ing them.

Mason Block, 244 Cabot St., Beverly, 
The sum of $816, received recently 
from the county commissioners for 
the widening of Hart street, has been 
devoted to the payment of land dam- 
ages caused by the work. 
Capt. J. Frank Blaney, who has just 
reset his fish wier off Chubb’s island, 
has been rewarded by good catches, 
which show evidence that there is fish 
in the vicinity. 
Much unfavorable comment has 
been heard of late of the condition of 
the sidewalks in various parts of the 
Farms. It is hoped that all the atten- 
tion of the street department will not 
be turned toward the streets, but that 
the walks will be in line for improve- 
ments also. 
The 2,600 tons or more of crushed 
stone to be used in the construction of 
the State highway from the Frick 
estate to Mingo beach hill will be 
furnished by Messrs. Connolly Bros. 
from their stone crushing plant on 
Greenwood avenue. The above firm 
recently sent a sample of the stone to 
the U.S. government authorities at 
Washington for examination, and have 
received a report in which the author- 
ities state the following : “A very hard 
and extremely tough granite, with 
very high resistence to wear and de- 
velopes fair cementing value. Best 
suited for urban, suburban and heavy 
highway traffic.’ There is no doubt 
but that this stone in question is the 
best found in this vicinity. 
Improvements are soon to be made 
on the interior of St. Margaret’s 
church. 
The F. E. Corlisses are to move 
into the Currier cottage, the upper end 
of Hart street, shortly. 
Mayberry—Davis 
The marriage of Miss Ethel May 
Davis, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, 
Otis N. Davis of Everett street, 
Beverly Farms, and Joseph Albert 
Mayberry was solemnized last Tues- 
day evening at the home of the bride’s 
parents, the ceremony being perform- 
ed by the Rev. Clarence Strong Pond, 
at 7 o’clock. Only the immediate 
families were present. 
The bride wore a gown of cham- 
pagne colored silk, trimmed with silk 
applique. She carried bridal roses and 
wore orange blossoms in her hair. 
Miss E. Maude Culbert was the brides- 
maid. She was dressed in white or- 
gandie. The best man was John 
Richard Davis, brother of the bride. 
From 8 to 9 o'clock there was a re- 
ception at the chapel of the Baptist 
church, which was prettily decorated 
for the occasion with hemlock trees 
and branches, rock fern and potted 
plants. Hanging from the chandelier 
was a massive bell of hemlock under 
which stood the bridal party and re- 
ceived. 
The ushers were Harry Cole, Frank 
Preston, Ira I. Davis, Herman Mc- 
Donald and Edward May, while the 
Misses Elsie Preston, Alice Witham, 
Carrie Davis, Alice Bolam, Annie K. 
Holmes, and Mrs. Guy Williams, Mrs. 
Benj. Hawkins, jr., Mrs. E. Fred Day 
and Mrs. L. G. Williams served. 
The wedding gifts were very pretty. 
They were displayed at the church. 
Whist at the Farms 
The largest gathering of the season 
at the Farms was that out Wednesday 
evening for the first of the series of 
whist parties given under the auspices 
of the Knights of Columbus and For- 
esters, in Marshall’s hall. Playing 
started at 8 o’clock and continued to 
10.30, resulting in many close scores. 
The ladies’ prizes were won by Miss 
Bessie Sweeney and Mrs. John F. 
Wyatt, while N. Doucette and Wm. 
F. Eddy landed the gentlemen’s tro- 
phies. One section of the hall was 
given over to those who desired to 
play “45.” John Bresnahan and Geo. 
Twitchell took the honors in this. 
The second of the series will be held 
next Wednesday evening.
