BEVERLY FARMS. 
Preston Post, 188, held their regu- 
lar meeting on Wednesday night. 
When they were about half through 
their exercises, a rap was heard on the 
door and upon investigation Guard E. 
W. Preston found the hallways and 
stairs filled with ladies of the Relief 
Corps, all demanding admittance 
which could not be denied them. But 
the great surprise of the evening was 
when Mrs. Alice P. Collamore stepped 
forward and in behalf of the Preston 
Relief Corps presented to the post the 
sum of $100.00 for their relief fund. 
Commander Charles H. Day, after a 
time recovered sufficient to express, 
upon behalf of the comrades, the sin- 
cere and grateful thanks, and ended 
by wishing the corps a career of suc- 
cess for the future as had been their's 
in the past. The ladies then com- 
pleted their evening of surprise by in- 
viting all to the banquet hal] where 
an excellent menu of refreshments 
were served. 
Miss Elmira Williams has returned 
from two weeks’ visit at Newton, where 
she was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. 
A.N. Blake. 
The concrete walks around the rail- 
road station are undergoing much 
needed repairs. 
Miss Ann Dwyer and Miss Anna 
Connolly are visiting Miss Mary Casey 
ac Providence, R.I. 
Miss Mary Rowen of Boston is 
spending her vacation with Mr. and 
Mrs. John McKeone, Everett street. 
William W. Webber and Lawrence 
C. Glover, both of Roxbury Latin 
school, were visiting Mr. and Mrs. L. 
J. Watson at Beverly Farms, Satur- 
day and Sunday of last week. 
The much desired play ground for 
Beverly Farms at last seems an as- 
sured thing. Both branches of the 
city government have recently passed 
an order calling for an appropriation 
of $4,500 for the purchasing of the 
Watson land which borders on Haskell 
street. While it is a well known fact 
that the area of land above mentioned 
will not be large enough to make a 
playground of sufficient size to meet 
the needs and that adjoining land 
will be necessary, still the matter has 
now taken substantial progress and no 
doubt will finally reach the desired 
end. 
James Kinsella who has for several 
years been superintendent of the 
E. C. Swift estate, has resigned and 
has accepted a desirable position of 
the same kind elsewhere.
