It is reported that Mr. William 
Sargent, recently of Los Angeles, 
California, will soon occupy the cot- 
tage of the estate of the late Perley 
Sargent on Pickering street. 
Charley Mears has been seen about 
town very rarely of late. The reason 
they say, is that he has been making 
hay. On one field he cut, it is said, 
over thirty tons of hay, and this is 
a poor hay year, too. 
The family of the late Albert Low 
of East Boston, will soon occupy 
their house on Winthrop street. 
Preparatory to their coming, the 
Amazon Engine Co. pumped _ out 
their well, in order that the water 
might be sweet and clean. It proved 
to be quite a well as it took the En- 
gine Co, about an hour to empty it. 
John Clossom of South Essex, has 
taken the contract to paint the 
building at the Centre occupied by 
L. E. Perkins, grocer, and the Essex 
postoffice.

An able and interesting sermon 
was preached at the Congregation- 
al chureh, Essex, Sunday, by Rev. 
Washington Choate, D.D. The text 
was the seven words, ‘‘he must in- 
crease but I must decrease.’’ These 
words were spoken by John the Bap- 
tist when his disciples brought word 
to him that Jesus was baptizing and 
all men seemed to be flocking to His 
standard. The speaker told of the 
faithfulness and _ fearlessness of 
John’s preaching—whether common 
people, the soldier, seribe or Phari. 
see or King—all were plainly told 
their sin and many had come to 
him with the question: ‘‘ What shall 
we do to be saved.’’ John had be- 
come the most prominent character 
in the nation and many had con- 
fessed their sins and he had _ bap- 
tized them. Now Christ had begun 
to preach and teach, and the people 
that had followed him were turning 
to Christ. It had taken great cour- 
age to tell all classes of their sins. 
But to speak the words of the text 
had taken far more courage than 
this. It is all very well when one 
is prosperous themselves to see 
others rise and prosper—but if one 
is going down and he sees _ others 
rise higher and higher, become more 
and more prosperous it cuts to the 
quick. Either John had obtained a 
ereat victory over self at this time 
or he had been helped by the 
strength obtained from a victory of 
a former struggle to have given 
such an answer as this. This is a 
{tremendous example of the over- 
coming of self.

Mr. Andrews has been a_ faithful

Essex Baseball. 
A fine game of ball was played by 
the Essex boys of the Sunday school 
baseball league on Saturday at 
North Beverly with the Methodist 
elub of Beverly. The Methodist - 
club was one of the tail enders of 
the league last year, but the way 
they played ball this summer has 
caused the best of the clubs in the 
league to look up. The Essex team, 
the club that should have had the 
pennant last year, crossed bats with 
them early in the.season and barely 
defeated them with a score of 4 to 3. 
The game at North Beverly, there- 
fore, was looked forward to with a 
ereat deal of interest. Morse 
pitched for Methodist and Lufkin 
for Essex. Essex went in to win and 
the score was 9 to 0 up to the 9th 
inning, when Wardell was put in as 
a pinch hitter and brought in three 
runs. Score at finish was 9 to 3 in 
favor of Essex. Essex throughout ~ 
the game made but one error. Luf-. 
kin by his wonderful pitching even 
made the humblest citizen of Essex 
proud. Fletcher Low covered him- | 
self with glory by making the best 
hit ever made on the North Beverly — 
grounds. Both Burnham and Lane 
got four hits out of a possible five. 
Lufkin knocked two two-baggers,. 
Story one two-bagger, and Low a 
three-bagger. Morse was knocked — 
out of the box in the 5th inning, 
Guill took his place and held Essex 
down fairly well until the close of 
game. .
