John Fred Bennett 
The death of John Fred Bennett of 
Greenwood avenue, ‘which occurred 
Thursday afternoon after a_ brief ill- 
ness of about ten days only, came as 
a great shock to the community. Mr. 
Bennett has always lived at the Farms 
where he was prominent in town 
affairs, and universally liked and re- 
spected. He has been for many years 
a member of the fire department, and 
prominent in its affairs. For the past 
seven years he has been Captain of 
Engine 3, and was formerly captain 
of the old Perseverance hose com- 
pany. He was a member of the 
board of directors of the Firemen’s 
Relief Assn., a member of Bass River 
lodge, I.0.0.F., and a Pilgrim Father. 
For years he has been gardener and 
caretaker of the Quincy A. Shaw es- 
tate. He was fifty-eight years old 
and leaves a widow, five daughters 
and a son, all grown. Funeral ser- 
vices will be held at the Baptist 
church this afternoon at two o’clock. 
Memorial Day at the Farms 
Memorial Day at the Farms was 
observed with appropriate exercises, 
and the graves of the departed Com- 
rades were strewn with flowers by the 
Comrades of Preston Post 188, 
G.A.R., assisted by the W.R.C. 93, 
Associates, members of the fire de- 
partment, prominent citizens and 
ey 
You have heard of the Merchant who had been annoyed somewhat bythe extrav 
school children. 
The program was carried out as 
outlined in last week’s issue of the 
BREEZE. The procession started at 
1 30 from headquarters and marched 
to the cemetery where the graves 
were decorated, then the line was 
reformed and marched to West beach 
where flowers were strewn on the 
water in memory of the sailors. | 
In the evening memorial services 
were held in the Baptist church at 
which special music was rendered. 
The orator of the occasion was Rev. 
Alexander Blackburn, D.D., of Salem, 
and was listened to with deep atten- 
tion by the large audience. His ad- 
dress was divided into three parts, 
the past, the present and the future. 
He dwelt most interestingly on. each 
of these parts and particularly in his 
allusions to the days of ’61 to ’65 did 
he touch the sympathies of those 
present. 
New Store at the Farms 
John Daniels, the Central Square 
provision dealer has this week occu- 
pied his handsome and commodious 
new store, which has just been com- 
pleted by Publicover Bros. The 
store is one of the largest and most 
attractive in this section, elegantly 
fitted throughout and thoroughly up 
to date. 4

The first thing to attract the visitor 
is the large show windows which give 
ample opportunity to display the fine 
line of goods kept in stock. The 
space to the left as one enters is de- 
voted to meats and provisions, the 
counters here being of marble. On 
the right the groceries are displayed 
in an attractive manner, while directly 
in front are some full length show 
cases for the display and keeping of 
the products of the bakery, made in 
the ovens located in the basement. 
A feature that will attract especial 
favor is the marble counters and 
corned beef tanks which ensure per- 
fect cleanliness. And an immense re- 
frigerator makes possible the keeping 
of everything in first class condition. 
Mr. Daniels caters to the best trade 
on the shore and a strict attention to 
the wants of his customers will con- 
tinue to bring him in the future as in 
the past, a liberal patronage. 
Golf at Myopia 
The golf season at the Myopia Hunt 
club opened Memorial Day with a 
large field in both classes, a majority 
of the best golfers in the state partici- 
pating. The 36 hole scratch competi- 
tion was won by A. G. Lockwood who 
covered the course in 165, Andrew 
Carnegie, 2d, being second with a 
total of 166. 
agant claims of a competitor regarding low price 
advantages aud who sarcastically went him one better by advertising that his clerks have agreed to work for nothing, that his 
landlord has agree to charge him no rent, commissioners have rebated his taxes,e has saved freight by an explosionin in that 
factory which blew the goods right into his store, and instead of selling go h “below cost” he would give them away. I 
cannot give.carriages away but I will make prices that will be a revelation to you.ods
