Next week the last of the series of band concerts will be held in Depot Square, but there will be two concerts--one on Monday evening as usual and another on Thursday evening, which is intended to take the place of the following Monday, which being Labor Day the band will be at the Beach. These concerts have been very largely attended ever since they have started and have been a real benefit to the village. There has not been a stormy evening on any concert nights.

Mr. and Mrs. Russell Leavitt entertained a few friends on Tuesday evening for Mrs. Alfred Patch, their guest. The party proved to be a corn roast. A huge fire was built in the back lot and over the coals the corn was placed on racks. Besides the corn, Mrs. Patch had prepared a Syrian dish of cutils and a salad. During the evening the party gathered around the fire and despite the mosquitoes sang many of the old songs to the strumming of a ukulele and mandolin. Mrs. Patch with her husband and family were at Bering at the time Mr. Leavitt was teaching there. Her stories of her experiences made a very pleasant evening.

Monday afternoon the Godfrey family of brothers and sisters held a get together with Mrs. Mary Chipman, who is visiting with her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Ward. The elderly people thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of being together and many an anecdote was told of happenings in the past. Mrs. Rebecca Leavitt was the oldest member present, being 86 next Tuesday and Mrs. Chipman was the youngest at 64. The average age of the eight present was 78.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wilson of Mansfield, Mass., has been visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown. As Miss Green, Mrs. Wilbur was a very popular teacher of our schools and her visit is greatly enjoyed by all those who knew her.

Another excursion from Boston, Lynn, Salem, Beverly and Ipswich to Hampton Beach will be run next Sunday. Three previous excursions have been run by the Boston & Maine bringing-on each from 450 to 700 visitors, and if next Sunday is pleasant it is expected that 1,000 people in a single trip and load that many in four minutes. This section of the street railway is of much importance to the town, and if the Boston & Maine is to run excursions next year, it will be a necessity.

Superintendent Moore Resigns

Mr. Harry L. Moore, superintendent of district number 21, which comprises Hampton and six other towns, has resigned to accept the position of superintendent of schools for Portsmouth, and his resignation has reluctantly been accepted.

The loss to the district will be great. Mr. Moore is an indefatigable worker and unusual organizer, organized in his methods and possesses the gift of getting along with people. Schools in the district have made great progress under his supervision. His wife is very popular, and the two sons are fine, manly fellows, with considerable municipal ability. Mr. Moore does not go to his new field of work on account of increase of salary, for the salary is exactly the same as he has been receiving; but because the new district is more concentrated than the old and because he feels that Portsmouth offers a larger opportunity for service than a rural district can give.

Hampton Beach

Between 75,000 and 80,000 people came to Hampton Beach Sunday. Outings, including the Sunset League of Concord and Duncan MacDonald family featured the day. No accidents were reported, according the police officials.

Seven offenders of the New Hampshire motor vehicles laws faced Judge Howell M. Lamprey in the Hampton municipal court here Monday. Michael Mulkern and Arthur H. Wilding of Portland, Me., paid $10 and costs.

Allen H. Bearse, Jr. of Melrose had his case placed on file upon payment of costs amounting to $6.70. The week end here at Hampton was one of the busiest in the history of the resort. Hundreds were driven home and to other places Saturday night due to the shortage of rooms. The number of machines passing through and stopping on Sunday taxed the available space to near capacity. Miss Margaret Sawyer of Stark street, Manchester, is spending the week with Mrs. John T. and Marion Arthur at their cottage on the Winnicummet road.
