ESSEX 
W. E. P. Taylor and daughter are 
enjoying an outing at Spencer Lake 
Camp at Jackman, Me. 
The Junior class of the Hssex 
High school gave a party in honor 
of Miss Dailey, their teacher, on Fri- 
day evening last. The party was 
held at St. James hall. There was 
about thirty present. A pair of cuff 
links was presented to Miss Dailey, 
Brainard Burnham making the pres- 
entation speech. The boys served a 
regular ‘Essex supper, which means 
that it was most bountiful and ex- 
eellent. Games were played and a 
grand good time enjoyed. 
Hallowe’en night passed off quiet- 
ly in Essex. The boys and girls at 
sundown began to gather with their 
jack lanterns of every description. 
Some were made of paste board 
boxes, some from pumpkins, some 
from squashes and even cucumbers. 
In the early evening a company of 
girls with peaked witch hats paraded 
the. street with a _ transparency 
marked: ‘‘Vote for Women.’’ Bean 
blowers seemed to. take the place of 
the historic ‘‘tickalick.’’ But the 
rain came and by nine o’clock the 
streets were reduced to a Sabbath 
stillness. . 
People are beginning to says some- 
thing must be done! It is shameful! 
Things are wide open here! It’s a 
disgrace to the town! We creep up 
to hear what is said. A sudden stop 
in discussion, but not until we had 
heard the word ‘‘rum.’’ Well! 
Well!! Well!!! 
The Bay State Street Railway 
have placed in their waiting station 
a complete set of wrecking tools to 
be used in case of accident. 
The subject of the sermon Sunday 
afternoon at the Methodist Episco- 
pal church was: ‘‘Divine Provi- 
dence.’’ The text was Romans 8: 
28. The speaker dwelt at length on 
the many experiences that Paul had 
—of the changes of life, especially 
those of the darker side — yet 
through it all, he believed in God. 
Opposition and adversity make the 
‘Christian stronger. We are rising 
higher and higher every time we 
meet with difficulties. What matter 
is it if we have Christ with us. It 
is only necessary for us to hold on 
to our faith in God, and all will be 
well in the end. 
_ The young people of the M.E. 
Church, under the auspices of the 
Epworth League, had a pleasant so- 
cial last Saturday evening. 
An Essex man on being told that 
his wife had: lost her temper, re- 
‘plied that he was glad of it, for it 
was a very bad one.

You'll Trade Here Eventually. 
Why Not Now? 
Nowhere in the city, is there a store which is so thoroughly 
stocked with such a choice line of groceries and provisions, 
as you will find here, in our old ‘‘new” home. 
We have spared no expense to make our store the leader in its 
line on Cape Ann, and we will spare no expense to maintain 
the lead which we now have. 
Our own cold storage plant, recently installed, serves to keep 
fresh, our entire stock of meats. 
Our low prices on Saturday specials, will surprise you. 
Yours for a square deal.
