The Manchester club meets to- 
night. Members are reminded that 
business of importance will come be- 
fore the meeting. Refreshments will 
be served. 
The barber shops in town have 
signed an agreement to close Mon-. 
days at noon and other days at 8 p. 
m., excepting Saturdays and nights 
before holidays. 
A Manchester branch of Gray’s 
circulating library of Gloucester has 
been established at Cawthorne’s 
Branch bakery, 50 Central street. A 
good assortment of the latest books 
may be found. The cost for the use 
of these books is two cents a day. 
Roy Wallace, night telephone op- 
erator at the local exchange, is hav- 
ing his vacation and is spending it 
in Maine. Bryce Specht is substitut- 
ing at the office. Jos. Cawthorne is 
to substitute at the Marblehead office 
next week for the operator there. 
The annual meeting of the Man- 
chester Launch club was held Wed- 
nesday evening and the following 
officers were elected: Alfred C. 
Needham, commodore; Louis C. La- 
tions, vice-commodore; Richard L. 
Cheever, secretary and treasurer; 
Frank L. Decker, collector; David 
Fenton, measurer. A committee of 
three was appointed to draw up 
plans and make investigations for a 
building and report back to the club 
within the next two months. It is 
probable a sort of bungalow-boat- 
house will be built as a home for the 
elub. 
A beautiful bouquet of chrysan- 
themums magnificently colored has 
been adorning the editor’s desk the 
last few days, a product of the 
gardens of. Captain Thomas Han- 
nable, now of Beverly. Captain 
Hannable is a former Manches- 
ter man. His keen delight in the 
cultivation of flowers and the suc- 
cess he attains in having one of the 
““best’’ gardens in Beverly make the 
burden of advancing years the easier 
for him. Summer visitors driving or 
motoring by his home in Beverly are 
very often seen to stop to look at the 
flowers, and occasionally to be pre- 
sented with a bouquet by the Cap- 
tain. 
The selectmen have awarded the

Farm, Manchester, when Miss Mary 
Allen, who has made her home with 
Mr. and Mrs. Salter the last six 
months, was united in marriage to

and flowers. The ceremony was per- 
formed by the Rey. T. L. Frost of 
the Baptist church. Miss Lydia Den- 
nis was the bridesmaid and John 
O’Neil of Manchester acted as best

friends. Mr. and Mrs. Ford will
