NORTH SHORE. BREEZE 
BEVERLY FARMS 
As foretold in the BREEZE, work 
was started this week by the city em- 
ployees upon the widening of the dan- 
gerous corner of Hart street, near thea 
Bennett estate, which improvement 
meets the hearty approval of all, as 
this particular spot has been danger- 
ous, and since the coming of the auto 
has been looked upon as exceedingly 
so. Not alone will this widening re- 
move the danger element, but will 
also be a betterment to the surround- 
ing estates. The building now being 
used as a store has been moved to a 
new location, while the house which 
has been a sort of landmark for years 
is to be removed. 
Registration for city election closed 
at city hall last Wednesday evening, 
with an increase of six new voters for 
ward 6 over the State election, making 
the total number of voters allowed to 
partake in the coming election for city 
officers 334, as against 341 last year. 
A social gathering of the members 
of the Second Baptist church and the 
young people’s society was held last 
evening at the church vestry. 
The residence of Mr. George Wise- 
man, on Haskell street, was recently 
badly damaged by the falling of pieces 
of ledge, due from a blast from a near- 
by quarry. Fortunately nobody was 
hurt. 
Peter Gaudreau, the popular tonso- 
rial artist, is again calling out ‘‘next,”’ 
after a visit among relatives in Can- 
ada. 
A pleasing feature of the coming 
Thanksgiving Day will be the parties 
to be held in Neighbors’ hall. In the 
afternoon, between 2 and 5p.m., there 
will be a sunlight party, and in the 
evening from 8 until midnight. Good 
music is assured, also refreshments. 
This will no doubt be very attractive 
to many who heretofore have made a 
practice of going out of town that day 
looking for amusement. 
Owing to considerable petty stealing 
of late Officer Williams decided that 
it was about time to put a stop to it, 
and accordingly had several of the 
“‘bad’’ boys in court Thursday, with 
the result of their promising to do so 
no more, They were placed on pro- 
bation. 
Miss Bessie Williams has concluded 
her engagement as bookkeeper for 
Smith’s Express Co. at their Farms 
office, and has for the past few days 
‘been visiting friends at Newton. 
With turkeys from 25 to 35 cents a 
pound, cranberries at the rate of $15 
per barrel and all other fixings a like 
comparison, truly we have a lot to be 
thankful for in the coming of Thanks- 
giving Day. 
Messrs. Walker Bros. & Co. are the 
last of the business concerns to close 
up the Farms department, moving to 
Boston for the winter. 
Truant Officer N.S. Heron of Bev- 
erly has spent considerable time at 
the Farms lately, looking up several 
cases which come under his jurisdic- 
tion, with the result that the children 
of Mrs. Mary Bailey have been taken 
charge of by State Officer Loring and 
were on Thursday sent to the Harrison 
Avenue home for two months. Other 
children, whose attendance at school 
has been very irregular, or who have 
lately been conspicuous by their ab- 
sence, havealso received his attention. 
Connolly Bros.’ large plant at Tops- 
field was visited by fire Thursday, 
sparks from the 4.02 train on the 
Boxford branch setting fire to some 
brush. Three acres of land were 
burned over and seven or eight cords 
of cut wood were burned. The fire 
department turned out and finally 
gained control of the fire. 
The land on Hart street known as 
the Smith lot owned by Otis H. Luke, 
has been cut up into house lots and 
will be sold at once to those who de- 
sire them at reasonable prices, and 
will no doubt be the means of starting 
a building boom at the Farms, as 
heretofore it has been almost impos- 
sible for the man of small means to 
secure a building lot. 
The new building under construc- 
tion on the W.S. Spaulding estate, 
in the garden off Greenwood avenue, 
is practically completed. It is a com- 
bination stable and cold storage. It 
is very picturesque in design, being of 
the Spanish style, and is constructed 
entirely of concrete. The surround- 
ings have been beautified the past 
summer by flower and vegetable gar- 
dens, laid out in neat design. 
Work has been started in building 
for Mr. Chas. H. Tweed a new 
avenue leading from Hale street, 
through the woods to the Hooper cot- 
tage, so-called, which requires a large

force of men, as there is considerable 
blasting, excavating and grading. 
The entrance to this new avenue is 
the same as the old one, but after en- 
trance has been made. upon the es- 
tate, the road takes an entire new lo- 
cation. When the new driveway is 
completed. the present one will be 
discontinued and planted out to. 
shrubbery. ~ 
A Sign of Victory 
One of the amusing incidents which 
happen during a political campaign, 
took place recently at the Farms. 
Councilman Pierce who is a candidate 
for the board of aldermen, was pass- 
ing Mr. Varney’s drug store one even- 
ing this week just at the time when 
one of the political bosses was laying 
down the whys and wherefores to a 
voter. The voter happened to. see 
Mr. Pierce and he dropped the boss 
and rushed out, asking the candidate 
for aldermanic honors “Is your paper 
all filled? ”’ 
On receiving a reply that it was 
not, He asked permission to sign it. 
The paper was handed to him and he 
looked around for a favorable place to 
write, but could not find it, when 
some one suggested he ‘go in the drug 
store, which was done. While sign- 
ing, the boss, who just previous had 
been waxing warm all at once became 
silent and started out, when Mr. Pierce 
called to him to come back and sign 
the paper, but he threw a disgusted 
look back, closed the door with a 
bang, and walked away. 
Mr. Pierce felt quite angry about it 
as he said he had helped him out of a 
family difficulty at one time and 
thought he ought to have received 
better treatment. On thinking it 
over, however, he felt much better, as 
he says this man is always on the 
wrong side and it looked to him as the 
first sign of victory.
