evening and elected Miss Mae Stanton,
of Holly Beach, to teach the new
school to be opened next Monday down
in the Ottens tract. There are 27 pupils
in that vicinity. 1t was also decided
to pay the expense of books and trans
portation for scholars in the high
school grades to attend the Wildwood

scholars entered upon their work on
Tuesday at the Wild wood school. They

The labors of the fishermen at Angle
sea were not very productive during the
week, through the prevalence of high
winds. Yet on Saturday evening Capt.
John Leonard came in with his boat
of same name and his crew of bronzed
jolly Swedes and landed seventeen
barrels of fish, fourteen of them were
bass and three mixed. At present
wholesale prices this certainly was "a
very satisfactory result.
The fishing at the boat landing pier
for the smaller fry of nluefish and bass
INDUCED in by gentlemen ladies and
children were more satisfactory and
during the whole week parties were
engaged there enticing the finny tribe
from the briny deep.
Vegetation still looks fresh and there
are wild flowers in abundance in vari-
Gus colors, pink, purple, yellow and
white and one can make ever so large
and beautiful punches or boquets of
them; and then there are the various
plants and grasses to add to the un-
limited variety.
AT some of the florists as well as in
some of the private residences are to be
seen specimens of tropical plants,
among them the rubber plants; these
however must be young plants, as they
do not have any gum drops on them
yet; still they look sweet without them.
Speaking of looking sweet reminds
one of story about young couple
visiting the Zoo in Philadelphia. Some
young ladies have habit of calling
everything they see grand, or sweet, or
splendid. The young lady ofthe party
when she saw the Polar Bear said
"isn't he splendid;" when she saw the
giraffe, "isn't he beautiful" the
cockatoos, "are they not grand" and
when she passed the hippopotamus
with his sides like rusty old stove
plates, she exclaimed ooh! isn't he
sweet.n Her male escort Topped and
called out, 81 draw the line at the
hippopotamus.o
Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner, of the news
stand, return to reoccupy their home on
Central avenue.
Miss Chrissie A. Murray, daughter

whole summer She has been visiting
this place for several years and has
made many friends and has always eX'
pressed her delight at the recreation
