Her 92d Birthday 
Smart as a whip, as the saying 
goes, and from every appearance 
many years younger, Mrs. Mary E. 
Hill, Manchester’s oldest daughter, 
but one, will celebrate her 92d birth- 
day next Tuesday, March 20th. Mrs. 
Hill was born in West Manchester, or 
“Newport” as it was then known, in 
1814. She now makes her home with 
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. P. Dole, Norwood 
avenue. 
The Ice Crop 
An extremely unfortunate winter 
this has been for some of the ice men 
hereabouts. While Crocker & Ed- 
munds were able to fill their ice house 
off Bennett street, Ayer Bros., whose 
pond was more exposed to the sun, 
have been unable to get any ice what- 
ever from their pond. Determined 
not to be disappointed next season 
however, this latter concern are now 
having ice brought from Milton by

Making up for Lost Time 
Old Winter has been making up for 
lost time the past week. Starting in 
a week ago yesterday with a fierce 
blizzard that put telephone and tele- 
graph poles and wires so much out of 
commission that the North Shore will 
not be back to its normal self again for 
several weeks, cold weather has been 
in order all the week, supplemented by 
a snow storm Monday morning, and 
another Thursday. 
Thursday’s storm took onthe form 
of a blizzard, the worst of the winter. 
It started in about 10.30 in the morn- 
ing and developed in proportions as 
the day advanced, being decidedly of 
the blizzard type along toward night. 
An Ipswich young man is advertis- 
ing today for a position on some pri- 
vate place along the shore. 
Bullock Bros. Re-Established 
The enterprising grocery concern of 
Bullock Bros., burned out by the re- 
cent Pulsifer block fire, are back to 
their old quarters in the block, open- 
ing up for business Thursday morning. 
The store has been thoroughly reno- 
ovated and the stock has been replen- 
ished. The fixtures were not injured 
very much in the fire and these have 
been retouched and look almost as 
good as new, though the brass attach- 
ments had to be taken off and reburn- 
ished. A quartered oak floor has been 
put in the windows, thus enlivening 
the facilities for display. Among the 
new features will be a large electric 
power coffee grinder.’ The storage 
room has been enlarged by taking part 
of the basement formerly used as a 
barber shop. 
Two new delivery wagons are now 
being made for the concern at North 
Reading.

The new FRENCH

tions of choice old 
pieces in Flemish and 
Gobelin art stuffs — 
needs to be seen, for 
they cannot be de- 
scribed—such fine de- 
signs, in such rich 
colors, sbaded with 
such consummate skill 
that one wonders how 
the dyer and the 
weaver ever produced 
such a wondrous piece 
of goods; these old 
pieces are mostly in 
dark rich colors — the 
modern French weav- 
er has given us Tapes- 
tries in lighter, bright- 
er hues that are also 
gems, in many situa- 
tions they fill in better 
with their surround- 
ings, harmonizing with 
modern Wall Papers 
and Carpets. These 
stuffs are mostly 50 
inches wide, costing 
$2.00 to $4.00 the yard.
