MANCHESTER SECTION 
At the session of the probate court 
in Newburyport Monday a letter of 
administration was granted on the es- 
tate of the late Mary L. Hamilton, 
Lincoln S. Simonds of Gloucester. 
special administrator. 
The bellboys of the Masconomo 
house are preparing for their dance 
to be held in the Manchester Town 
hall on the evening of Friday, August 
28. The hop will come directly after 
the band concert. Long’s orchestra 
has been engaged. 
A small carriage owned by B. G. 
Foster, in which F. C. Rand, H. T. 
Swett and Jos. Tomasello were re- 
turning from Singing Beach, Monday, 
was struck by an automobile on Mas- 
conomo hill and partly demolished. 
Most fortunately the three young men 
escaped injury. The motorist, a wo- 
man, passed on without even halting 
a moment to see the extent of the 
damage, it is said. 
The seventh annual bal! of the 
Manchester drug clerks is scheduled 
for Friday evening, August 14th. The 
announcement that the proceeds from 
the ball is to be donated to the Salem 
Relief fund ought to be sufficient 
guarantee that the affair will be well 
patronized as usual. The drug clerks’ 
ball is always the most popular of the 
score or more dances held in the Man- 
chester Town hall during the sum- 
mer and the boys are greeted every 
summer by a big crowd from all along 
the line. 
J. S. Reed picked from his garden 
on Beach street the other night a flow- 
er of a somewhat freak character, it 
being a two-faced dahlia—two distinct 
biooms linked together on one stem. 
The flower was of the Black Prince 
variety and was a beautiful specimen. 
The garden of the Beach street res- 
taurant is beginning to take on a 
most attractive appearance, as it al- 
ways does at this time of year, and in 
another week or so it will have reach- 
ed the full development for the sea- 
son. Mr. Reed has the name of hay- 
ing one of the best and most attractive 
private small gardens on the entire 
North Shore and it always draws the 
attention of summer visitors and pas- 
sersby as no other garden in Man- 
chester.

Forest Warden Peter A. Sheahan 
has had a busy week fighting forest 
fires. Three very bad fires have been 
handled, all in the vicinity of the 
water works road. The location of 
the Gorman saw-mill, so-called, was 
the scene of the most difficult fire. 
The state sprayer was set at work on 
this fire eight hours Monday. Mr. 
Sheahan has been kept busy this sea- 
son but he has had unusual success in 
getting fires under control without 
causing a great deal of serious dam- 
age. Mr. Sheahan is to investigate 
the army worm plague in this vicinity 
and if any signs of the pest is found 
take radical measures 
to handle it at once.

Henry Taylor, chauffeur for Dr.

Wednesday morning, stopped on the 
side of Summer street near the tele- 
phone exchange, to put on anew tire. 
The machine was headed toward 
Gloucester and the lights were burn-

Taylor was attended by Dr. Blaisdell

ous condition.
