“SATURDAY, FEB. 2, 1907. 
The date of the annual Town meet- 
ing in Manchester has been set for 
Monday, March 4,—four weeks hence. 
All articles for the warrant should 
be placed in the hands of the select- 
men on or before Saturday, Feb. 16, 
—two weeks hence. 
Town Auditor Cheever now holds 
the fort. The Town Report goes to 
the printer the first of next week, and 
Mr. Cheever. will be busy the next 
three weeks juggling figures, prepar- 
ing “copy ”’ and reading “ proofs.” 
The political pot is beginning to 
boil, though from present indications 
it does not appear that it will boil over 
at present. Several names have been 
mentioned as possible candidates for 
selectmen, but nothing definite is yet 
announced. The chances are that the 
old board, who have done good work 
for the town the past year, will be re- 
turned. 
Historical Monument to Be 
Erected at Provincetown 
Every man, woman and child will 
probably have an opportunity of join- 
ing with thousands of others through- 
out the state, in the erection of a 
magnificent monument in Province- 
town, on Cape Cod, to commemorate 
the first landing of the Pilgrims and 
the signing of the compact in the 
cabin of the Mayflower in November, 
1620. 
The movement was started by the 
Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial associa- 
tion. Sergt. Edwin F. Snow has the 
project in immediate charge and he 
has written the Board of Selectmen of 
Manchester asking for help from 
Manchester. The town, as far as can 
be learned, has no legal right to ap- 
propriate money for a purpose of this 
kind, and the communication has been 
handed to A. S. Jewett of the Histo- 
rical_ society. The communication 
says in part : 
“Knowing that the citizens of Man- 
chester take great interest in things 
historical, I would state that the Cape 
Cod Pilgrim Memorial association is 
now building a monument at Province- 
town, Cape Cod, Mass., to commem- 
orate the first landing of the Pilgrims 
at that place, and the signing of the 
compact in the cabin of the Mayflower 
in Provincetown Harbor, in Nov. 1620, 
“The monument will be 250 feet 
high, on an elevation of 90 feet, which 
is 30 feet higher than Bunker Hill 
monument. My suggestion to the as- 
sociation was to place in the monu- 
ment a memorial stone marking the 
date of settlement and the name of 
the towns and cities in the Plymouth 
and Mass. Bay colonies. Each stone 
to be furnished free of cost to the as- 
sociation and delivered at the monu- 
ment grounds before Mch. 21, 1907.” 
The letter went on to state .that 
Mr. Snow’s suggestion was adopted 
and he was appointed to carry out the 
scheme. The stones will be 30 inches 
long, 20 inches wide and 15 inches 
thick. These will be furnished, with 
names of town cut in them, etc., at 
$45 each. Forty-eight of the 66 
stones have been contributed. 
We think this a worthy. project. 
Manchester has much to be proud of 
in a historical way and there is no 
doubt but that a much larger sum 
than that needed could be raised to 
give the town a place among others in 
this memorial shaft. 
WHISPERINGS 
Riding on a snow-plow is not such 
good sport, after all. Whisperings 
have reached my ears of one of our 
good citizens who met the plow going 
up School street last Saturday after- 
noon. Bethinking the good — sport 
there might be he jumped on as gayly 
as_a_ school boy. ‘Bully, Bully, 
Bully!”’ he exclaimed, “who would 
have thought riding on a snow-plow 
was such ?” But before he had 
finished the stem of the plow had 
struck a rut in the sidewalk, and our 
jovial friend fell in a heap. He was 
assisted to his feet again, and observed 
that “One has to ride on one of these 
things with some care.”

The diligent work of Officer Lo- 
masney in holding up speedy autoists in 
Manchester last summer has not been’ 
forgotten. He received a striking 
souvenir postal yesterday, presumably 
from some fair North Shore maiden 
whom he might have “held up.’’ On 
the postal was the picture of an auto 
runabout with canopy top, and on the 
seat are two young people —a young 
man with a pretty damsel beside him. 
They are just at the point of kissing, 
—very suggestive, indeed. Written 
on the postal was this very pert ques- 
tion to my friend Officer Lomasney : 
“Would you have the heart to hold 
these up?” 
Choice Musical to be Given 
by Thought and Work Club 
We understand that one of the 
choicest musicales ever given before 
the Thought and Work club of Salem 
will be presented on Saturday after- 
noon, Feb. 9, at 3o0’clock in Academy 
hall, on Essex street, Salem, which 
program we have been fortunate 
enough to obtain. It follows :

MISS TUFTS 
‘Miss Tufts,” says Madam Szum- 
owska, “is a young lady of great tal- 
ent and considerable promise for the 
Verdi Liszt 
future. Her technique is fluent, 
smooth and easy. She plays with 
graceful sentiment and has good 
musical instincts, which is shown in 
her playing Having achieved so 
much so early in life she gives hopes 
for a fine musical career.”’ . 
The many friends in Manchester of 
the two other artists will doubtless be 
glad of the opportunity to hear them. 
Few can equal Miss Lyche as an ac- 
companist or soloist, and Mr. Lincoln 
possesses one of the pure, rich bari- 
tone voices which is much sought. 
after and enjoyed.
