BEVERLY FARMS. 
“Have you hired your bathing 
apartments?” is a query now heard 
about the Farms, and refers to the 
apartments in the new bathing pavil- 
ion on West Beach. ‘The pavilion is 
so far advanced that an early comple- 
seen in Varney’s drug store window 
where they are also booking the ap- 
tion is assured. ‘The plans can be 
plicants. Many apartments have 
already been hired. Many people 
from Manchester have rented apart- 
ments. 
Night officer Webster Ix. Bray’s 
time and beat at the Farms has been 
changed. He now goes on duty at

the Farms depot through Central 
square to High street up to 10 p.m., 
after which hour his beat 1s more ex- 
tended.

The petition which has been in cir- 
culation about the Farms principally 
among Hart street residents, for a

The petition was signed by about 50 
people.

man at Beach street. 
Mrs. Constiteno has given up her 
position as nurse at Mrs. John

congratulating her upon the coming 
happy event of her marriage to a Mr.

The committee on fire department 
have postponed the awarding of the 
contracts for the proposed painting 
and carpentry improvements on the 
Farms engine house due to their not 
receiving more estimates from _ the 
contractors, there being only two re- 
ceived for the painting and one for 
woodwork. 
The Thissell Company, the  well- 
known provision dealers in the 
Neighbor’s Hall block, who acquired 
by a lease the next store to the one 
they have always occupied have com- 
pleted their changes and improve- 
ments. ‘The removal of a portion of 
the dividing partition has practically 
turned the two stores into a large one 
making fine quarters. The new sec- 
tion is fitted up with show cases, 
counters and up to date equipment 
and is stocked with a complete line 
of groceries and provisions. ‘The 
Thissell Company is to be congratu- 
lated upon its successful outcome to 
give Beverly Farms a fine and up to 
date store, and is a valued addition 
to the business section.

The Farms firemen have kept up 
their hustle fighting woods fires dur- 
ing the past week. Not a day has 
passed that they have not been called 
out—on some days three or four 
times. A bad fire this week was at 
the poultry yards of John T. Morse, 
Jr., at Pride’s, but on account of 
quick service no great damage was 
done. 
While many at the Farms at pres- 
ent have “chicken fever,” or in 
other words the fever for raising 
chickens, the one who is perhaps the 
most successful is Kenneth Hatch. 
Yesterday in one of his incubators 
he had a batch of 180 chickens come 
out and they are a pretty sight to 
see. Frank Eldredge is also an ex- 
pert and one day this week had a 
batch of about 100 come out.

I am a man, and nothing that con- 
cerns a man do I deem a matter of 
indifference to me.—T'erence. 
‘No, sit,” .said ja* clerk, to. his eni- 
ployer. “I don’t think there’s any- 
thing unreasonable in my asking for 
an increase of salary. You may re- 
member that you promised me a raise 
when I had been with you a year.” 
“T know I did,” rejoined the em- 
ployer; “but didn’t I make it con- 
ditional on your giving me every sat- 
isfaction ?” 
“And in what way, sir, haven't I 
given you satisfaction?” asked the 
clerk. 
“In what way?” replied the em- 
ployer, with a show of anger. “Do 
you think you are satisfying me in 
asking for an increase of salary ?”— 
The Wasp.
