Charles A. Lodge, jr., was home from 
Amherst over Memorial Day. 
Roland Knight spent Memorial Day 
with his brother Samuel Knight at 
Exeter. 
Mr. and Mrs. Francis Bennett of 
Gloucester spent the holiday with Mrs. 
Anna Phillips, School street. 
Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Knight have

The graduation exercises of the Story 
High school will be held this year on 
Thursday evening, June 24, and the re- 
ception and dance of the praduating class. 
on Friday evening, June 25. The class 
numbers five,—four girls and a boy. 
Miss Marion Kitfeld was a member 
of a large class of 75 that graduated from 
Miss Wheelock’s Kindergarten Train- 
ing school, Boston, yesterday. Her 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Kit- 
field, attended the exercises. 
Postmaster Wheaton received the 
pleasing news a few days ago that his sal- 
ary would be increased beginning July 1 
$200 a year, from $2100 to $2300. 
When Mr. Wheaton took office ten 
years ago the salary was $1400. The 
continual raise from that to $2300 shows 
the steady increase in the business done 
by the local office in the last decade. 
We note by the papers in the announce- 
ment of postmasters’ salaries some six- 
teen increases were made against 50 de- 
creases, and Manchester falls in the 
former class. 
Work on the new concrete standpipe 
is about completed and the big million 
gallon tank will be ready to receive water 
in a week or two, though no water will 
be pumped into it until July, probably. 
To realize the massiveness of this reser- 
voir one must visit it. On Memorial 
Day Commissioners Merrill and Hoare 
and Engineer Allen and a_ few citizens 
visited the new tank and were lifted to 
the top in the elevator that was used to 
lift the material. [he view to be ob- 
tained from this elevation is something 
grand. It was particularly clear on that 
day and the view was magnificent. On 
one side Newburyport church steeples 
could be seen with the aid of glasses. 
The water circling Cape Ann may be 
seen for almost the entire distance, and 
in the other direction Boston is plainly 
outlined, and the tall chimneys of the 
Edison electric piant at South Boston are 
distinctly seen. The concrete work on 
the standpipe was practically completed 
Monday, ready for the railing around 
the top.

‘There is every indication at present 
that the play to be given by the dramatic 
club of the First Parish church of Bey- 
erly at Manchester Town hall next 
Wednesday evening for the benefit of 
the Beverly hospital will be a great suc- 
cess. The sale of tickets has been rapid. 
The play, entitled ‘“ The Snowball,’’ is 
given under the auspices of the Man- 
chester Woman’s club, and this, coupled 
with the quality of the entertainment and 
the members of its cast assures a good 
house. Tickets may be procured at
