A perfectly rigged schooner yacht, 
ina glass case in Cheever’s window 
has been attracting considerable at- 
tention the past few days. Only 13 
inches long the little model is perfect 
in design, and the exactness of the 
work may be realized when it is known 
it took Charles Lovegreen, the maker, 
8 years, off and on, to complete it. 
Mr. Lovegreen is a carpenter em- 
ployed at Fenton’s. 
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mead spent 
Christmas with Mrs. Mead’s sister, 
Mrs. Otis Marion and family, in Alls-

T. Gorman to Chas. E Littlefield, one 
acre, 22 rods of woodland.

Under the new apportionment for 
representatives to the legislature for 
the next ten years, 2809 votes are re- 
quired to each representative. It is 
thought Manchester, Gloucester, Es- 
sex and Rockport may be placed 
in a district together. Their voting 
strength is 8490, 54 more than that 
required for three representatives.

the interesting history of the elm tree 
on the easterly side of the new 
primary school lot —in fact the only 
elm tree on the lot. I was interested 
to learn a few days ago that this tree 
was planted at the time of the big 
centennial celebration April 19, 1876, 
when the centennial elm was planted 
on the Common, around which is an 
iron fence. At that time public exer- 
cises were held and the tree was 
planted by the school children. The 
late “Sandy ’’ Carr superintended the 
planting and he had several trees on 
hand. After the exercises, one of 
the school children — David Cough- 
lin, now of Whitman — was given one 
of these and he planted it at his home 
in the spot where it now stands near 
the school. 
The tree still lives and it is quite a 
coincident that the tree planted by a 
school boy on such a historic occa- 
sion should after thirty years pass 
over to the town on schoolhouse 
property. It is also of interest to 
note the hard life the tree has had. 
In its younger days it was struck by 
a carriage and almost killed, and a few 
years ago it was struck by lightning. 
On the former occasion the tree was

As the New Year, 1906, 
Is about to open, we are reminded of the old saying, that “ As the days begin to lengthen, 
the cold begins to strengthen.” 
It is well to be prepared for the cold that’s sure to come.
