BEVERLY FARMS 
The coming marriage is announced 
to take place about New Years of 
Miss Mary Wiseman, daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. George Wiseman of Haskell 
street, to Mr. Michael Connors of 
Boston and Beverly Farms. The 
couple are to take up housekeeping 
at the Lewis Larson house on Haskell 
street. 
The flooding of the Mill Pond has 
afforded considerable pleasure for the 
Farms children during Christmas week 
and has given them a chance to try 
out their new skates, which no doubt 
“Santa”? brought them, but to the 
older ‘‘children” the pond offers but 
little attraction, owing to the fact 
that the ice is not good, as the area 
has not been flooded sufficiently to 
cover the immense amount of rubbish, 
dead grass and brush which is found 
here in abundance. 
Mr. Thos. D. Connolly, of the firm 
of Messrs. Connolly Bros., has just 
received from relatives in California, 
with whom Mr. and Mrs. Connolly 
were visiting last winter, an article 
which certainly is a curiosity to us 
here in the East, and which has been 
looked upon with much interest by 
those who have seen it. Itis a speci- 
men of California redwood bark, cut 
in a sort of pyramid shape, and is one 
of three pieces preserved from the 
base of a tree said to be one of the 
finest ever taken from California red- 
wood. The bark is 42 inches thick, 
protruding out from the tree, being 
the natural growth of a tree some 
4,000 years old. 
The St. John’s Episcopal Sunday 
school had a merry Christmas party 
in Marshall’s hall Tuesday evening. 
The Christmas tree was the centre of 
attraction, from which each and every 
member received at least one present 
together with a profusion of candy, 
nuts and fruit. Games were played, 
which offered amusement for both 
young and old, and at the conclusion 
all went home, sorry that Christmas 
comes but once a year.

Both branches of the city council 
have now passed the order for the 
sale of 32,055 feet of land at 15 cents 
per foot, on Hale street adjoining the 
stone crushing plant, to the Roman 
Catholic archbishop, the same being 
intended by Rev. Fr. Walsh for addi- 
tion to the St. Margaret’s church and 
erection of a parochial residence. 
The entertainment and_ sociable 
to be given by the St. Margaret’s 
Church society in Neighbor’s hall, 
New Year’s night, is looked forward 
to with considerable interest and 
pleasure. 
The Thomas M. McKees on Mon- 
day evening gave a Christmas tree 
party for the Farms children, at which 
all received gifts and plenty of fruit 
and candy. The event will no doubt 
be stored in their minds for a long 
time as the most pleasant of all Christ- 
mases. 
John West colony, Pilgrim Fathers, 
had a large attendance at Marshall’s 
hall last evening, when whist was 
played from 8 to 11 p.m. and prizes 
awarded the winners, and a social 
hour was spent until midnight. 
Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur J. Pierce were 
entertained over Christmas at the 
home of Mrs. Pierce’s parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. R. F. Hoffman, at West 
Medford. 
Frank Trowt is home from a week’s 
vacation from college at Northampton.
