’. "14, was one of the ushers Thurs-

Complaint is being heard from 
some of the local merchants that the 
supplies for the two dredgers at 
work in the harbor are being procur- 
ed in Boston instead of from local 
dealers. In all probability this is be- 
ing done, if true, because the head- 
quarters of the company are in Bos- 
ton, and supplies are sent out by the 
company to their dredging crews all 
over New England, wherever they 
are at work. 
A very pleasant party gathered at 
the home of Joseph A. Bradley on 
Pine street Wednesday evening, in 
honor of his 22nd birthday. Friends 
from near and out of town made the 
occasion one not easily to be forgot- 
ten. He was the recipient of many 
remembrances including a signet ring 
and watch. Games were played and 
dancing enjoyed, music being fur- 
mished by Carey’s full orchestra. Ice 
cream and cake were served.
