Frank Burnham of East Wenham 
died at the Beverly hospital Tuesday 
afternoon from injuries received in 
an automobile accident on the road 
near Beck’s pond, Hamilton, Sunday 
night. A runabout in which he was 
riding with John Hood of Middleton 
was struck and overturned by a big 
touring car the occupants of which 
fled. Mr. Burnham suffered frac- 
tures of both jaws and the left leg 
and concussion of the brain. He 
was a native of Essex. He leaves a

During the past week gains have 
been made in the fund for the new 
building of the North Shore Horticul- 
tural society which will be erected on 
Summer st. opposite the railroad sta- 
tion as soon as the $20,000 fund is 
completed. Generous subscriptions 
tv the fund brought the amount raised 
up to well within $3000 of the re- 
cuired amount two weeks ago, but for 
a time the progress was discouraging. 
Recent contributions, however, make 
things look promising for an early 
start on the new building. 
tain there are many, who have not 
yet contributed anything for the 
building and who wish to do so. Just 
at this time their pledges would be 
gladly received by the committee as 
they would help to hurry the cam- 
paign to a close. The townspeople 
of Manchester should feel a personal 
interest in the success of the under- 
taking and any contribution on their 
part will be a source of satisfaction to 
them later on when the building is 
completed. The new building will be 
a distinct addition to the town and the 
committee deserves every encourage- 
ment in their campaign.

CiAss oF 786, MANCHESTER HIGH 
Hoip REUNION. 
Following their custom of years 
the members of the graduating class 
of ’86 of Manchester high school held 
a reunion at the home of Mrs. Ellery 
L. Rogers on North st., Monday eve- 
ning. The class gathers once in five 
years at the home of one of the mem- 
bers and all were present at the gath- 
ering this year. Besides the mem- 
bers, Mrs. Seddie Crombie Follett, 
Miss. Lila G. Goldsmith, Mrs. Nellie 
Leach Rogers and J. Warren Lee, the 
husbands, wives, children and grand- 
children were assembled. Two-year 
old Howard Roger Preston, grand- 
son of the hostess, was the youngest 
of the party, having joined the circle 
since the last reunion five years ago. 
Professor N. B. Sargent of Haver- 
hill, who was principal of the school 
at the time of the class graduation, 
was expected to be present, but was 
prevented by illness. Instead he sent 
a delightful letter which was read 
during the evening. A telephone con- 
nection was made with his Haverhill 
home and each class member had a 
brief, delightful chat with the beloved 
teacher. The entertaining of the eve- 
ning was left in the hands of the 
children and the original class ora- 
tions were read by Miss Margaret 
Lee and Mrs. May Rogers Preston. 
Miss Bernice Lee sang “Thou Art My 
Friend,” one of Mr. Sargent’s com- 
positions. Refreshments were served 
and the company parted after sing- 
ing “The End of a Perfect Day.”

chester people who are interested in 
this mining property have cause to

tickets.

corps assembled last evening in G. A. 
R. hall for the annual inspection. 
Mrs. Mary Langdon of Ipswich, as- 
sistant department inspector, inspect- 
ed the corps. She was accompanied 
by a number of ladies from the Ip-

which makes it difficult to do some of 
the work to the best advantage. In 
connection with the exercises last eve- 
ning the charter was draped in mem- 
ory of Miss Annie P. Younger, a 
member of the corps, whose death 
occurred Sunday evening. Following
