BEVERLY FARMS 
The time for city politics has ar- 
rived, and judging from the situation 
there does not seem to be many in 
the field in ward 6 with the political 
bee buzzing in their bonnet. It is 
understood, however, that the present 
members will seek re-election. 
Charles Parker, the proprietor of 
the Farms bakery, has put a wagon on 
the road for the convenience of his 
patrons in the vicinity of the Farms. 
Later on it is his intention to extend 
his route to surrounding towns. 
Miss Alice Witham, the popular 
assistant at the local post office, will 
‘start Monday morning next for a 
week’s vacation, most of which will 
be spent with relatives at Rockport. 
Messrs. Connolly Bros. have just 
been awarded a large contract at 
Rhinecliff-on-the-Hudson. They have 
at present a large gang at work on the 
James Speyer estate at Scarborough- 
on-the-Hudson. 
The Farms people on Tuesday were 
treated to prompt information of the 
election returns. The election officers 
in the voting booths gave out the ward 
vote at 4.30 p.m., while in the evening 
until a late hour F. W. Varney, at his 
drug store, received the returns, which 
were given out to a large and appreci- 
ative audience. 
Postmaster and Mrs. Elmer Stand- 
ley have returned from a short visit 
to Pawtucket, R.I., where they were 
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mitch- 
ell, formerly of Manchester. 
Mr. and Mrs. E. Fred Day’s home 
was made happy on election day upon 
the arrival of a voter. Both mother 
and child are doing nicely, while Fred 
is passing the cigars’ to the many 
friends who are showering him with 
congratulations. 
Miss Mamie Blake of Newton has 
recently been the guest of Patrolman 
and Mrs. Calvin L. Williams. 
It will soon be Representative R. 
Brooks, who on election day received 
a handsome vote all over the district. 
Not alone in Ward 6, but elsewhere 
he ran ahead of the principals on the 
ticket. It will be Mr. Brooks’ second 
term in the legislature. 
Most of the male sex at the Farms 
have lately been the recipients of a 
present from the city of Beverly, it 
being the 1905 tax bill, Mr. Fred 
Elliott doing the honors. 
This has been the banner week for 
hustling baggage at the local station. 
Many of the summer residents, while 
themselves leaving the shore at differ- 
ent periods, have delayed the com- 
plete closing of their places till this 
week. 
Mrs. Banks of Mendum, N.J., is 
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Peter 
Ward, Haskell street.

229 votes were cast. 
The annual inspection of Preston 
Post, 138, was held at headquarters 
Wednesday evening, the inspecting 
officer being Capt. J. A. Wright and 
suite of Post 89, Beverly, who were 
accompanied by a large delegation. 
This event is always looked forward 
to with much anticipation. by both 
posts, the feelings of true comradeship 
being very strong. A pleasant even- 
ing was spent, including the features 
which .the old veterans usually take 
great delight in—a collattion and 
smoke talk. 
The Farms scholars were given an 
extra holiday yesterday. Truant Offi- 
cer Heron has been in ward 6 several 
times during the week, looking up 
cases of irregular attendance at school. 
The many friends of Mrs. B. Frank 
Hawkins will regret to learn of her 
serious illness at her Hull street (East 
Wenham) home. 
Many property owners are improv- 
ing their spare time this good weather 
cleaning their property of brown-tail 
and gypsy moths. The moths are 
pretty thick in this section. 
Mr. Frank B. Bemis and Mr. Allan 
Curtis are among the summer resident 
real estate owners who have this year 
become residents of the Farms and 
voted in Tuesday’s election.
