Rev. and Mrs Walter T. Hawthorne and
daughters. Alfredo and Janice, are spending
the week at the Battery. occupying one of the
Dunton cottages.
Frank. the three years old son of Mrs.
Walter Varney, caused the family much anx-
iety last Tuesday morning by following two
children with whom he had been playing on
the lawn at his grandfather's residence on Con-
gress street. An unsuccessful search was made
tn -ough the neighborhood and the city mar
shall was notified and friends and neighbors
joined in the quest. Frank finally located
near the sardne factory and from there was
taken to the office of the Fuel & Hay Co +,
where his aunt, Miss Bertha A. Wiley, is en-
ployed.

knoxmont, Familiarity known as knox" the
pet horse of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace E. McDon-
aid, was LAID to rest last Thursday. He was
bought of 7. l. Huxford of Brooks when about
years of age and had been in Mr.. Melon
AIDS stable about 81 years In all this long
life for a horse Knox" had been faithful and
| had never shown the least viciousness He
had been ill for some time and Mr.. Mcdonald
said he would willingly have given 500 to
have found him dead in his stall. Last Thurs
day it seemed necessary to have him put away,
and when the road to an outlying field old
Knox trembed and quietly laid down in the
street and died while the veterinarian stood
over him.
DR.. BAILEY'S CHURCHM ANSHIP, DR.. Bailey
the summer rector of ST. Margaret's church,
has never been in the habit of posing as an ex-
treme High Churchman. But last Sunday his
Craftsmanship advanced by leaps and bounds
regards the use of candles in the service
He lighted eight candles and would have
lighted more could more have been found
The fact is with neither gas nor electricity
nor kerosene lamps in the church, the
services could not have been held without
candles, as last Sunday was perhaps the dark
est day ever known in this vicinity. Smoke,
fog and dense clouds combined to shut out the
light of the sun. Even with the candles light
ed the reading of the service was very diff.
cult for the rector and impossible for many in
| the congregation. Our friends will be glad to
learn that electric lights are being installed in
the church this week

! The STREETS. The good work of the past
two years the city streets is seen in ma,
| directions. Not within the recollection of the
| writer has Main street been in such good con-
diton as it is today, and this may also be said
of Church street south from post office square.
In wet season like the present this has been
mud-we might say, of some sections, mire-
to the foot of the square, while it now pres
ents smooth. dry surface. And this is true
of many of the cross streets. Franklin street,
and particularly the section from the square
to Court street, which for years had been
scanned and quilted and covered with loose
stones, has been transformed. and Court str eet,
wantonly torn to pieces few years ago. and
where for two or more years daisies and but
tercups bloomed in the travelled way, has been
restored to the condition in which a former
administration found it. A citizen who had
taken a walk last Sunday afternoon down
Church and up High street spoke of the at
tention residents on these streets had given
to the roadside, and said that the only place
which needed looking after was at the Peirce
school where the grass should be cut. The late
Capt. Robert Emery was one of the first, if not
