During June, July and August, J. S. Moore's market will be closed Tuesday afternoons.
Ira D. Manley will move his family to Waltham next week. They will reside on Crescent street.
Auction sale of the personal goods of Ira J. Manley is announced for Saturday, May 29, at one o'clock.
During the months of June, July and August, J. Sterling Moore will close his market Tuesday afternoons.
The May sale at the Congregational church, May 20, proved to be a very pretty affair. The room looked very dainty in its colors of yellow and green. All those who attended enjoyed themselves and pronounced it a success.
Rufus Hawkins, a well known engineer on the B. & M., who formerly resided in this village died suddenly Sunday afternoon at Fitchburg, of heart disease. He was respected by all who came in contact with him, not only by those who were connected with him in his occupation, but also by those outside of the railroad circle.
John M. Kelley passed away at his home on Martin street, May 20. He has resided here seven years. For four years he has been a great sufferer, but has received constant care and attention from his faithful wife. He was born in Alberg, Vermont, and enlisted at the beginning of the Civil war in the 142nd New York regiment. He served eighteen months and then received an honorable discharge. He is survived by a widow and three sons, Marvin M. and William S. of Acton, and Loren of Carlisle. Funeral services were held at his late home, Saturday at 2.30 p.m. Rev. Mr. Lovett officiated. The pall bearers were members of the G. A. R. Age 84 years. Burial at Mt. Hope cemetery. |
Meeting of the South Acton Volunteer Fire Company. |
The regular monthly meeting of the South Acton Volunteer Fire Company was held at the engine house, last Thursday evening. After the business was transacted, refreshments were served, and F. S. Brick of Maynard addressed the members on “His Experiences as a Scaler in the Northern Maine Woods.” His remarks were very interesting and were enjoyed by all.
A volunteer fire company is very necessary and is the most important organization in the town, but in order for its success every property owner should show an interest in the company and join. While of course there are a good many that are unable to help out much in case of fire, they can join and show their interest by attending the meetings and using their influence to help make the fire company better. Anyone wishing to join can send their names to the secretary, C. G. Jones, and it will be acted upon at the next meeting. |
CLINTON NOSE PAINT
———
Results in Three Arrests for Drunkenness Saturday Night. |
“Wet outside and wet inside” was the motto of a trio of booze seekers who landed in Wood square Saturday night, after scraping acquaintance with Clinton nose-paint, and as a result the three landed behind the bars in Chief Magorty's fire-proof hotel.
Chief Magorty picked up two, Michael Murphy of Maynard and Stanislaus Liss of Hudson. Officer Scally gathered in Frits Nyquist of Worcester. Frits was in a bad way and far from home. He boarded a car in Clinton thinking he was on a Worcester bound trolley, but discovered his mistake when he landed in Hudson and found himself “on the inside, looking out.”
All three were bailed out, $100 being demanded by the trial justice in each case. In court, Monday night, Murphy and Nyquist each paid $5. Liss had his case continued until Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. He has secured Trial Justice James T. Joslin as his counsel. |

PARENTS WARNED
———
Marlboro Priests Advise Them to Look Sharply After Daughters |
At the masses at the church of the Immaculate Conception, Sunday, Rev. T. B. Lowney, Rev. W. H. Finnick and Rev. A. J. McDonald spoke words of advice to parents in regard to the conduct of their children, especially the daughters, and warned them against allowing their offsprings to visit Lake Chauncy and similar places after dark. They brought to bear forcibly the temptations that beset young girls who frequent such resorts, which often resulted in sin and ruination.
They advised parents to ascertain where their daughters passed their time after dark, and to be sure that their companions were above reproach.
The remarks were not directed against Lake Chauncy alone, but against all places like it, where dance halls lure the young, many times to their ruin. |
PROFESSOR MARSHALL L. PERRIN
———
Will Deliver Address at Hudson High School Graduation |
Wednesday night, June 16 has been set as the time for the graduation execrises of Hudson high school, and town hall has been engaged for that night. The school committee has decided to continue the policy adopted last year, that of having an address by some well known educator, instead of devoting the entire evening to essays. For this purpose the services of Marshall L. Perrin, superintendent of schools at Wellesley and a professor at Boston University, have been secured. Prof. Perrin will take for his subject “American Ideals.” He has appeared in Hudson before, and during last winter was one of the speakers in the women's club calendar.
Parts on the program will be assigned to Miss Grace E. Martin as valedictorian and Miss Vira E. Colomy as salutatorian. The class has chosen Airmet Tarbell as prophet, A. Herbert Smyth, historian. Miss Marjorie Atwood was selected to give a history of the Washington trip. |
