188, G. A. R.; he was of pleasant dis- 
position and was well liked by all.

welfare of the community and hardly 
ever missed voting on election days.

the Beverly Farms Baptist church last 
Monday afternoon, Rev. Clarence S$. 
Pond officiating. Members of the 
Preston Post, G. A. R., and the An-

THE JiITNEY Bus. 
The amazing sweep. of the “‘jitney 
bus” from the Pacific to the Atlantic 
coast in little more than a year and 
its effect upon the recognized trans- 
portation companies in Massachusetts, 
is reviewed in the recently-issued an- 
nual report of the Public Service 
Commission. That body states that 
it has no jurisdiction under our stat- 
utes, the information being gathered 
for the General Court. 
In the long run, apparently, the 
“jitney” is profitable only as a prolific 
source of material for popular song 
writers and punsters. It has certain- 
ly proved a thorn in the flesh for - 
many of the street railways in this 
state, sapping their revenues at a time 
when their financial condition was a 
matter of deep concern,
