MANCHESTER 
Jeffrey S. Reed, who has been suf- 
fering from an attack of heart 
trouble, has been able to be about the 
past few days. 
Fk. P. Stanley represented the de- 
partment staff of the G. A. R. at the 
meeting of the Middlesex County G. 
A. R. in Boston yesterday. 
Mrs. WiLLIAM H. HASKELL. 
Mrs. Abbie L. (Lucas) Haskell, 
widow of William H. Haskell, died 
early Thursday morning at her home, 
19 Vine st., Manchester, following 4 
short illness. Mrs. Haskell was 79 
years of age. She was born in Dor- 
chester on March 29, 1837, the 
daughter of James M. and Joanna 
(Belcher) Lucas. Mrs. Haskell came 
to Manchester when a child so that 
practically her entire life was spent 
here. 
For about 18 years, up until the 
time of Mrs. Haskell’s death 11 years 
ago, she was matron of the poor farm. 
Her many acts of kindness to the ih- 
mates will long be remembered. In 
spite of her advanced age Mrs. Has- 
kell had been in remarkably good 
health until a few months ago when 
the death of her daughter, Mrs. Sen- 
ter Stanley, affected: her keenly. 
Since that time she had been in 
broken spirits and health. About a 
week ago she contracted a cold which 
led to a complete breakdown causing 
her death.

Mrs. Haskell leaves sons,

One of the first things to come be- 
fore Beverly’s new city government 
this week was the introduction of an 
amendment to the city ordinances 
providing for $18 per week to city 
laborers for a 44-hour week. Rather 
an attractive place to live and job to 
seek, if this passes!

The Manchester barbers were 
stampeded last Saturday by a small 
army of long-haired individuals, who 
had evidently waited until the last 
minute to get ahead of the 10-cent 
increase in the price of hair-cuts. 
The majority of these were children. 
One wielder of the scissors gave the 
BrEEzE credit for the unprecedented 
rush of business and suggested that 
it might be a good thing for the bar- 
bers to announce a raise in prices to 
take effect each Monday. He thought 
it would stimulate Saturday trade at 
any rate.

Some person or persons seemed to 
think that a most appropriate way to 
celebrate New Year’s was to remove 
the board which the Park Commis- 
sioners had placed at the entrance to 
Singing Beach, admonishing people 
not to remove sand: from the beach.- 
What remains of the sign reposes 
against the Blaisdell block, in the 
areaway leading to the rear of the 
Postoffice building.

“With four inches of snow on the 
ground no attempt was made to clear 
the sidewalks of the city and as a re- 
sult narrow little paths have been 
trodden. Those on the main streets 
had to use the car tracks. Perhaps 
the city is laying in with the rubber 
men for it is going to be mighty 
sloppy when it thaws or rains.”— 
Beverly Evening Times. 
Which recalls our oft repeated as- 
sertion that Manchester is a good 
place to live for more reasons than 
one. All of the principal. sidewalks 
in the town were cleared of snow be- 
fore 7 o’clock yesterday morning.
