Observant Citizen Notes on Local Figures and Ventures
Dear Observant Citizen records a mix of society tidbits. It mentions Bernard N. Farren's death in Philadelphia and a controversial demolition contract in Boston that yielded profits amid a ruinous site. It notes Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan's anticipated visit to North Shore cottages and credits M. C. Leen of Charlestown for heroically halting a Marblehead forest fire with a bucket brigade. It reports rival hens from Fred A. Bedell in Lexington and Miss Gertrude Talbot's rise in local business. It also covers Thomas W. Lawson writing verse about spring water and a meeting with Robert H. Gross reentering Boston business circles and Maine rabbit shipments to Blue Hill.
