ROLL-CALL AND SUPPER 
Continued from page one, third column 
clerk and treasurer, in 1868, serving 
in that office until 1899, and from that 
time to the present year as clerk, dur- 
ing which time he had missed only 
one annual meeting and two special 
meetings,—an unprecedented record ; 
and secondly, in memory of Deacon 
Albert E. Low who passed away last 
fall, at the age of 98 years. He had 
been a member of the church for 72 
years, and had been 65 years a deacon. 
After the tables had been cleared 
the gathering was called to order by 
the pastor, Rev. C. Arthur Lincoln. 
Clerk Cunningham read the roll-call, 
some 93 answering to their names, 
and a number of others being heard 
from by letter or postal, among the 
latter were: Mary L. Towne of Bev- 
erly; Mrs. Martha C. Roberts of 
Waltham; Miss Alberta M. Burgess, 
Salem ; Dea. FA. P.. Killam; Miss 
A.B. McDiarmid, Everett ; Miss os 
P. Macdonald, White Plains, N.Y; 
Mrs. F. C. Toppan, Norwell; Miss 
Annie L. Lane, Northampton; Rev. 
E. P. Tenney, Winthrop Highlands ; 
Rev. F. A. Fate, Montreal. 
Rev. C. Arthur Lincoln sang ‘Rest, 
rest to the weary.” 
When William Johnson answered 
to his name he said he joined a church 
in 1834 in Concord, N.H., the same 
year Dea. Low joined the Manches- 
ter church. 
Following the roll-call a few were 
called upon for remarks, the first 
being Rev. Geo. L. Gleason of Tops- 
field, for 13 years pastor of the local 
church, but who left here 25 years 
ago last October. He spoke in a 
rather humorous vein, dealing at some 
length on the unfortunate circum- 
stances that sometimes arise because 
of ‘the average man,” and illustrating 
his point by relating the number of 
times his hat, or coat had been taken 
in exchange by others. The humorous 
‘COBB, BATES & YERXA COMPA 
effect of his remarks was enlarged 
when Miss H. P. Allen, a little later, 
presented the reverend gentleman 
with his hat so “that there may be 
no reflections on this company,’’ to 
which Mr. Gleason replied that he 
was glad that he didn’t find it in the 
hands of a man. 
Deacons, O-- hoperts, hia 
Knight and Jos. A. Torrey also made 
brief remarks. 
The committee in charge was com- 
posed of : Mrs. Geo. A. Kitfield, Mrs. 
Otis M. Stanley, Mrs. Henrietta I. 
Price, Miss Harriet P. Allen, George 
W, Jewettsand R: CL. Cheever: 
Bug Hunters on Strike 
Manchester bug hunters, or to put 
it more plainly, the men employed by 
the town, under Tree Warden Wm. 
Young, to destroy the nests of the 
brown-tail and gypsy moths, went on 
a strike the latter part of last. week, 
They asked for a raise of 25 cents a 
day, and being refused, they in turn 
refused to work. Whereupon Mr. 
Young hired another gang of workers. 
The tree warden says he has no right 
to pay more than $2.00a day for town 
labor,—the amount voted by the 
town. The strikers claim their work 
is not what is commonly called 
“town labor,” but skilled labor. They 
struck for a raise of 25 cents a day. 
McElhenney--Dee 
James McElhenney and Miss Kath- 
erine Dee, both residents of Manches- 
ter, were united in marriage by the 
Rev. Fr. Wm. F. Powers at the paro- 
chial residence Sunday. The young 
couple held a wedding reception at 
the tenement they are occupying in 
the Kimball house on Union street, 
Sunday evening, at which were pres- 
sent a large number of friends. The 
groom is gardener at the E. S. Grew 
estate, West Manchester. 
MANCHESTER 
We call attention to the notice of 
N. P. Meldrum in another column. 
Mr. Meldrum has a grand opportunity 
to offer in a cottage house, almost 
new, modern conveniences, very near 
the centre of the town, which he can 
sell at a bargain. 
Miss Elizabeth A. Dillon and Philip 
White were the winners of the whist 
prizes at the weekly party given in 
Carpenter’s hall, in aid of the Sacred 
Heart church, Thursday evening. 
The party next week will be on 
Tuesday evening. 
Eric W. Erickson is at the Massa- 
chusetts General hospital for treat- 
ment. 
Dr. Waldo H. Tyler was taken to 
the Mass. General hospital Thursday 
for treatment for some _ internal 
trouble. He had not been operated 
upon last night. 
BEVERLY FARMS 
As per invitation, the members of 
Preston Post and associates were the 
guests on last Tuesday evening of the 
Women’s Relief Corps, and certainly 
all present enjoyed themselves im- 
mensely. A _ part of the program 
which caused much merriment was 
the calling upon the different ones to 
perform “funny stunts’? which were 
entirely beyond the talents of the poor 
victims, but as there was no ‘‘balking”’ 
allowed, each one did their best, and 
there was for a time practically a 
vaudeville show. Another feature 
was a Christmas tree laden with pres- 
ents or trinkets for all, the distribu- 
tion of which caused many to get con- 
siderable fun “poked” at them. In 
addition there was music, and a social 
hour spent at cards, each one being 
unanimously of the opinion that the 
gathering should be. repeated in the 
near future.
