The canvass made by the members 
of Preston post, 188, G.A.R., concern- 
ing the advisability of forming an 
associate membership, has brought 
forth good results and has been very 
encouraging to the old veterans. 
Nearly every representative citizen 
approached has signified his intention 
that, should the association be formed, 
he would make application for mem- 
bership. The move is certainly a 
worthy one, and by seeking to aid its 
progression by asking to become a 
member you will not only help to keep 
the local post in existence, but by so 
doing show your appreciation for what 
the “Boys in Blue” did for us in 
those dark and stormy days of 1861 to 
1865. 
The illustrated lecture “On the 
road to Loi Kaw,” to have been given 
at the Baptist church last Sunday 
evening, is to be given tomorrow 
evening at 7 o’clock. Everyone is 
cordially invited to be present. 
“Our one excuse” was the topic 
of the Young People’s meeting at the 
Baptist church last evening. Leader, 
Oscar Hakanson. There will be a 
union meeting Dec. 21. 
The voting place next Tuesday will 
be, as in previous years, at G.A.R. 
hall. Polls open from 6 a.m. to 4 
p.m. 
A very pertinent question at this 
time is: ‘How will skating be at the 
playgrounds when winter sets in with 
force ?”’ Perhaps the local representa- 
tives to the city council can answer ; 
we won't venture to do so. Several 
of the young men recently took upon 
themselves the task of flooding the 
swamp recently purchased by the city 
for a playground, but soon became 
discouraged and gave up the project, 
for it was found that by flooding the 
swamp all the adjoining land would 
also be buried under water, thereby 
causing considerable damage to the 
abutters. It does seem a pity that 
not even this land can be used for 
skating, and now it is an open ques- 
tion, what was this land bought for, 
and if an answer is found the solver 
would confer a favor to the Farms 
public by giving the people the infor- 
mation. It now looks as if the present 
children would be grandfathers and 
grandmothers before the so-called 
playground will be in a fit condition 
for any purpose. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Preston Relief corps, No. 98, at 
their meeting Tuesday evening elected 
Mrs. Alice Preston, president ; Mrs. 
Lydia P Williams, senior vice, and 
Mrs. Mary A. Larcom, junior vice. 
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Osborne 
are enjoying a vacation trip to Albany, 
N.Y., down the Hudson to New York 
city and home by way of the Fall 
River line. 
Elisha Pride, postmaster at Pride’s 
Crossing, is seriously ill with pleurisy 
fever. 
One of Publicover Bros. horses ran 
away the first of the week from the 
Bement place, and after a mad gallop 
through the streets landed safe and 
sound, with only slight injury to the 
team, after many narrow escapes. 
Local firemen and their friends are 
much interested in the fair to be con- 
ducted in Beverly this winter by the 
Relief association. 
Another dance is to be given in 
Marshall’s hall on the 12th, next Tues- 
day. There will be good music and a 
good time is assured, as the event 
comes on election night. 
The local telephone exchange was 
closed last Sunday, the present sub- 
scribers being transferred to the Bev- 
erly exchange for the winter. The 
people at the Farms very much disap- 
prove of this, and have in the past 
tried unsuccessfully to get the com- 
pany to keep the office open the year 
around. A particularly bad feature in 
the transfer is that after the business 
hours the Farms is practically closed 
for the night, there being no place 
where the Farms resident can tele- 
phone for a doctor or for any emer- 
gency case, unless they call out of bed 
somebody who has a phone, with the 
request that they might be accommo- 
dated. The changing of the numbers 
of your ‘‘phone”’ is particularly con- 
fusing and disagreeable. 
Mr. John Rowe and family, who 
have resided at the Farms for several 
years, have taken up their residence 
in Salem, where Mr. Rowe is em- 
ployed. 
The Medcalf and Rogers boys, who 
have been ‘‘on the rack’ lately 
charged with concealing stolen prop- 
erty, were on Thursday by the Juve- 
nile court placed on probation.
