Next Tuesday evening at Chelsea Pil- 
grims from all the surrounding section

a social organization among the orders in 
that section, and on next Tuesday even- 
ing when the “‘ Boxes’’ meet in Chelsea 
the ‘‘ Wanderers’”’ from this section will 
meet with them as guests. A large del- 
egation from Manchester, Beverly Farms 
and all the surrounding places are plan- 
ning on attending. Twospecial cars will 
be attached to the 6.42 train from Man- 
chester, and the theatre train will stop at 
Chelsea on the return. 
Annie Edgecombe, youngest daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Edgecombe, 
celebrated her ninth birthday last Friday 
afternoon, at her home on Forest street. 
Nine of her young friends were present. 
Refreshments of ice cream, cake, etc., 
were served. (Games were played and 
the little ones had a most enjoyable time. 
The little hostess received many presents. 
Mr. and Mrs. Edward A. Lane yes- 
terday informally observed the 25th an- 
niversary of their wedding. A few 
friends called during the afternoon, and 
in the evening to extend congratulations. 
George Kimball, formerly superin- 
tendent of streets of Manchester, is criti- 
cally ill at his home in Salem. It has 
been reported several times during the 
last few days that he had passed away. 
He was living at noon today, however. 
He is very low. He has heart trouble. 
At the meeting of the Manchester 
Woman’s club next Tuesday Miss Mar- 
tha A. Shannon will givea talk on how 
to tell a good picture. In connection 
with this meeting, too, the Red Cross 
work will be spoken of to the extent that 
Red Cross stamps, sold last year with 
such success during the holiday season, 
will be for sale. These stamps are put 
out by the Anti-Tuberculosis League. 
They will be for sale at Allen’s Drug 
store and at Floyd’s. 
City Delivery Service. 
How does it seem to have the mail 
man bring your mail to you? 
Bright and early Wednesday morning 
Manchester’s three mail carriers were 
on hand to start out "on their first trip. 
They are quite conspicuous in the natty 
regulation suits of gray. 
Everyone who has expressed an 
opinion on the innovation to the Breeze 
man the last few days express themselves 
as very much pleased with the change. 
After a few weeks people will wonder 
how they could have gotten along without 
mail delivery so long. 
At present there are but two deliveries 
Telephone 13 
Veuve Chaffard Olive Oil, 
a day,—a morning delivery, and another 
in the afternoon after the three-fifteen 
train mail is assorted. Collections are 
made from most of the boxes three times 
a day. 
That Gravel Pond Water! 
It is evident from the manner in which 
the citizens have signed a petition ad- 
dressed to the Manchester Water board 
the last few days that there are many of 
the people who are very anxious to have 
the water supply taken from Gravel Pond 
this winter instead of fromthe home 
station. 
It is claimed that the water at Gravel 
Pond is much softer; that it is a cure for 
rheumatism; or at least that it does not 
bring on rheumatic ills as quickly as does 
the spring water at present in use. 
A petition has been circulated and 
some 125 of the most representative peo- 
ple of the town have signed their name 
to it, petitioning the water board to use 
the Gravel Pond water instead of the 
spring water. 
The petition will be presented to the 
board Saturday, probably. 
The Breeze has had several commu- 
nications in the last three weeks bearing 
on the matter and last week, an inter- 
view with Chairman Merrill of the 
board. ‘Though Mr. Merrill is inclined 
to be against using this water this winter, 
he says he is willing to do just as the 
people want if they will only express 
themselves. 
“ Candlewood.” 
In all Essex County there is probably 
no person more widely acquainted with 
historical subjects and incidents of local 
interest than T. Frank Waters of Ips- 
wich. The Ipswich Historical Society 
of which he is the moving spirit is one 
of the most active organizations of its 
kind in the state. 
It is therefore with a great deal of in- 
terest that we look over one of Mr. 
Work done at Fair Prices.

Waters’ publications,—the latest from 
his pen. It is entitled “*‘ Candlewood— 
An Ancient Neighborhood in Ipswich.”’ 
Coupled with the story of ‘* Candle- 
wood’’ are the genealogies of three old 
Ipswich families—John Brown, William 
Fellows and Robert Kinsman. It is 
only one with deep knowledge of matters 
historically, and one who has made a 
wide study of family ‘‘trees’’ that could 
write such a volume as this latest one of 
Mr. Waters, which, we note on the 
fly-leaf is ‘* parts 16 and 17 of the Pro- 
ceedings of the Ipswich Historical 
Society.’’ 
The interest taken by Mr. Waters in 
these subjects, these genealogies, tracings 
of family trees, has grown in his home 
town to the extent that many of the so- 
called ‘“‘summer residents’? have be- 
come interested and are the society’s 
most active workers. 
As arule history, genealogy and the 
like is very dry reading. Mr. Waters 
has a way of throwing life into his works, 
however, that make them interesting and 
quite readable. 
The volume numbers one-hundred 
and sixty odd pages. It is from the 
print shop of the Salem Press Co., and 
is acredit to the publishers. It is of the 
“‘antique’’? make-up and could have been 
produced only in a print shop that makes 
a specialty of such class of work as does 
this Salem concern.
