The sleighing has been fine the last 
week. 
Nor’ east snow storms are treacherous 
things! One of them is headed this 
way as we go to press this afternoon.

past week and many a party of older as 
well as young people have been noted 
enjoying themselves to the fullest at the 
various hills about town. 
Why is it the Manchester children are 
not provided with a good skating place? 
Why isn’t the ‘‘channel’’ flooded and 
looked after to the extend that the chil- 
dren have a place for this popular re- 
creation?

District Deputy Grand Sachem Allen 
S. Peabody and suite, with their lady 
friends to the number of 48 in all, went 
to Lynn last evening, to raise to their 
stumps the chiefs of Winnepurket tribe 
of Red Men. It was a semi-public in- 
stallation and the Manchester boys were 
greeted with a packed hall; so crowded 
was the hall, indeed, that the principal 
part of the floor work could not be done. 
Deputy Peabody. has the reputation in 
Red Men’s circles of being the best-dep- 
uty in this section, and he has an _excel- 
lently. trained staff. It was for this rea- 
son that he was appointed deputy of the 
large tribe at Lynn and plans were made 
for such a large affair last night. Those 
-who attended say the occasion was one 
_ of the most enjoyable they ever attended. 
A banquet was one feature of the, meet- 
ing.

Big Water Damage Sale. 
In the Almy, Bigelow & Washburn 
advertisement this week announcement is 
made of a big ‘‘ Water Damage’’ sale 
which begins Tuesday at the big store. 
The stock offered, was secured from 
Angus MacDonald & Co., the well 
known building contractors of Boston 
who recently remodeled the department 
store of W. G. Fisher & Co. at New- 
buryport. While the building was un- 
dergoing repairs, the heavy rainstorm of 
Thanksgiving week occurred with the 
result that the water worked its way 
through the roof and damaged the Fisher 
stock to a great extent. 
The contractors were obliged to take 
the goods and dispose of them. .A.. B. .. 
& W. were the lucky purchasers; and at 
so low a figure was this desirable stock _ 
purchased, that the most wanted mer- 
chandise will be offered during . this 
‘““ Water Damage’’ sale at prices that. . 
are even below wholesale cost.
