“Wide Awake” Urges Manchester 
Folk to come out of “Sleepy Hollow” 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
Town meeting is over and the ques- 
tions that come before the town an- 
nually have been disposed of for anoth- 
er year ; the inhabitants of Manchester 
have settled back into their accus- 
tomed places to await the coming of 
the summer residents. This year, as 
in the past, the town has been very 
liberal in providing for summer amuse- 
ments, but for all this Manchester has 
surely but slowly developed into sort 
ofa ‘Sleepy Hollow” 
It seems reasonable to think that 
occasionally Manchester needs some- 
thing special and I would advocate 
that some society or other persons 
interested take hold of the matter and 
arrange for a floral parade, or river 
and harbor illumination, or both, this 
coming season. Both have — been 
carried out here with great success in 
years past. Everyone enjoyed the 
occasions and they would again, no 
doubt. 
As there is to be a series of inter- 
national yacht races off Marblehead 
this season, which will attract people 
tothe North Shore from all over the 
country who are interested in that 
sport, it seems that a river and harbor 
illumination will fit in nicely. 
Has someone else something better 
to propose?

SIXTEENTH ANNIVERSARY 
Allen Relief Corps in Manchester Celebrated 
Event at G.A.R. Hall, Thursday Evening 
The sixteenth anniversary of Allen 
Relief corps in G.AR. hall, Man- 
chester, Thursday evening, was the 
occasion of a very pleasant gathering 
and the entertainment feature of the 
evening was greatly enjoyed by all. 
A collation of ice cream and cake was 
served after the entertainment. 
The gathering joined in singing 
the ‘Star Spangled Banner,’ as the 
opening selection, and this was fol- 
lowed by a flag salute. Mrs. Mary 
Lane, the president, extended a very 
cordial welcome to all present, and 
she was followed by Miss Harriet 
Brewster who gave one of her choice 
readings, — ‘‘Whispering Bill.” Miss 
Olive Cook sang a very pretty selec- 
tion, “Star Song,” and Commander 
E. P. Stanley of the post made a 
short address, speaking most congrat- 
ulatory of the work being done by 
the corps. 
After a reading by Miss Lena Jones, 
Comrade H. T. Brigham was called 
upon. He said it was a good thing 
to have these gatherings. He en- 
joyed them so much that he was of 
the opinion there ought to be two or 
three a year. 
Past Com. Floyd of the camp con- 
gratulated the corps on its 16th year 
of very successful work in the town. | 
The organization is in a position to 
help the needy veterans wherever 
they are to be found on this soil. In 
the tide of human affairs the time is 
coming when the last veteran of the 
Civil War shall have passed on, and it 
shall be left to us to carry on the 
good work which they have started 
here. 
The “Japanese love song”’ was very 
nicely rendered by Miss Cook. She 
was followed by Adj. James H. Rivers 
of the post, whose remarks were brief, 
as were also those of Walter R. Bell, 
vice president of the camp, and J. S. 
Reed of the associates. Miss Jones’ 
reading, ‘How Hezekiah - steals 
spoons,’”’ was a pleasing feature. 
When Mrs. Hattie Perkins, of the 
Salem corps, was called upon, she 
asked the question ‘Why is President 
Lincoln like a piano?”’ “Give it up?” 
she queried after waiting a moment 
for an answer. “Because he was 
grand, upright and square.’’ She 
closed her remarks by reciting a short 
poem on ‘‘The old grand army boys.’’ 
Rev. E. H. Brewster, who was late 
in arriving, made a few remarks in his 
characteristic, bright and cheery man- 
ner, congratulating the corps on their 
work. The entertainment was brought 
to a close by the singing of ““America”’ 
by all.
