BEVERLY FARMS 
Mr. and Mrs. Frank D. Norton of 
Jersey City, N. J., have spent this 
week at the Farms visiting friends. 
John M. Publicover has spent this 
week on his annual gunning trip and 
this year has had his headquarters 
at ‘‘Camp Coot’’ on the Annisquam 
River. Reports from there indicate 
that he is having good success, and 
his friends are looking forward to a 
coot supper. 
Engineer Walter Wright and 
Driver John Cressy yesterday rep- 
resented the local firemen at_ the 
Firemen’s Convention held at Law- 
rence. 
The ambulance was called to 
‘‘Bagle Rock,’’ Pride’s Crossing, the 
summer home of H. C. Frick, Mon- 
day to remove Eva Kasari to the 
Beverly hospital. The woman 
slipped and fell and it was feared 
that she sustained a fracture of the 
leg. 
Mrs. Haynes, widow of the late 
member of the Oliver Ditson Co., her 
companion and son-in-law, Mr. 
Hurd, have been the guests this week 
of Mr. and Mrs. James B. Dow. 
The war experiences of the sol- 
diers and sailors of the Civil War 
were harrowing and the suffering 
and hardships were intense. At 
home the mothers and sisters and 
wives often suffered mental agony 
and suspense to which every battle 
added. The nurses of that war had 
an equally hard lot and many of 
them laid down their lives for the 
flag in the hospitals of the southland. 
Many have been called ‘‘to rest’’ 
and the ranks are thin. Mrs. John 
A. Fowle served as a nurse under 
exceedingly trying and dramatic 
conditions and although advanced 
in years has consented to address the 
Girls’ Club of the Baptist church at 
Beverly Farms next Tuesday eve- 
ning at 7.30. This is an unusual op- 
portunity to hear of the heroic ser- 
vices of the Florence Nightingales 
of the Civil War by one of them. 
A large attendance is assured. The 
tickets are for sale at a nominal 
price by the members of the club. 
The Women’s Relief Corps and the 
Grand Army Post are much inter- 
ested in the lecture and the atten- 
dance will be enlarged by attendants 
from Manchester and Beverly. 
The Ladies’ Auxiliary of St. 
John’s Episcopal church yesterday 
afternoon were entertained by Mrs. 
Joseph Holroyd at her Pride’s Cross- 
ing home. 
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Anderson of 
Pomfret, Conr., are among this 
week’s visitors at the Farms,

to be held on November 7th closed

smaller number of voters this year 
than last, there being 338 registered 
against 348 for the state election of 
last year. 
The triangular-shaped piece of 
land opposite St. Margaret’s paro- 
chial residence, at the junction of 
Hale street and the Bradley-Dexter 
avenue, is being improved by the 
city street department force. For 
some time it has been allowed to 
grow to a wild state. The ground is 
to be regraded and sown with grass 
seed. 
A ‘‘eoot stew’’ supper will be 
served at the ‘West street engine 
house tomorrow evening to members 
and friends. Engineer Walter B. 
Wright will be the ‘‘chef’’ and W. 
B. Publicover assistant. The princi- 
pal feature of the repast is being 
furnished by John M. Publicover 
who shot over 60 birds on his gun- 
ning trip at the Annisquam river. 
About 40 Beverly Farms people 
took advantage of the excursion to 
Boston Wednesday. 
Miss Estella Evans of Duxbury is

Hotel at Beverly Farms? 
There was revived this week the 
old time rumor of a syndicate laying 
plans for a summer hotel at Beverly 
Farms. <As far as can be ascer- 
tained, as in the past, there appears 
to be no truth in it. 
A Splendid Corn Show Promised 
Plans for the big Massachusetts 
Corn Show at Springfield, November 
7th, 8th and 9th, are rapidly shaping 
up. No stone is being left unturned 
to insure a suecess not only as an 
entertainment for the public, but as 
an educational feature which will 
impress upon every visitor the im- 
portance of the corn crop in the Old 
Bay State and the extent to which it — 
enters into the commercial prosper- 
ity of the state. 
Full information relative to the 
show may be obtained by writing
