.ANGLESEA

Business interests of Anglesea and
otherwise are very much interested in
getting through the proposed new road
that will connect that end of the island
with the mainland, claiming that a
road built from the center OF the island,
while a%fiording employment, would
not materially benefit them but con-
tend that If 1t was built here automo-
biles aud other travel would then enter
the resort at one end and 90 out at
nearly the other, thus affording a COM
plete tout of the island. Anolesea
needs this thoroughfare and their ap-
peal should be given consideration by
the Freeholders, as with the closing of
old Hereford Inlet the basin that will
naturally form will open the way to
building a large pier and be the means
whereby manufacturing concerns may
locate here and have direct access TO
the open sea and therefore good ship
ping facilities to New York and New
England ports and all southern points,
also the railroad facilities are good
where inland cities and towns can be
reached. In fact it is an ideal place
and should be strongly encouraged, as
the natural al advantages are greater here
than at any other point along the
island and it is best suited as a manu-
featuring center. Anglesea differs from
the other two places on the island.
Wildwood is looked upon as the busi-
ness and hotel district and has fully
maintained that reputation, The
Crest has the distinction of being resi-
Dental and noted for Its many beauti-
ful homes and which is adding not
only homes but ground on which to
build them by closing up the inlet at
the southern end of the island. So it
is plain to be seen that there is q great
future in store for Five Mile Beach and
it may be well to say that II the three
municipalities pull together to the end
just stated there will be no dull season
the year round and the summer visitor
will be a pleasant diversion to us and
source of much enjoyment to them, as
we will be better able to add many
new features to the board walk amuse-
ments and extend that thoroughfare
northward into Apglesea and with the
promises held out by the Crest of a new
one, which will extend down even
farther than at present, this resort can
then say to the visitor, "You can en-
Joy the board walk along the entire
length of the beach, which will add
much to the popularity of the island.

Halloweeners played a joke on Harry
Nidorf last Monday evening by remov-
Ing his delivery wagon down to Mace's
dock. Mr.. Nidorf gave notice that he
would not go after the wagon and,
knowing several Of the boys who were
In the party, said he would secure war
rants for their arrest if same was not
returned. This threat was not needed
and warrants were sworn out before
Justice Branin, in Holly Beach, and
placed In the hands of the constable to
1t was found that one or two of
the boys had gone to P%ennsgrove and
Mr.. Nidorf was told 1t would cost him
considerable to bring them here. He
was determined, however, so to bridge
the matter over several of the promi-
nent men around town secured a rope
to the wagon and with one of their
number as driver brought the wagon to
Mr.. Nidorf's place. He saw the joke
was on him and treated the crowd.
Samuel Gray, engineer at the freez-
ing plant, went CANNING for black duck
through the sounds last Monday morn
Ing and killed thirteen. While Mr..
Gray was engaged In r%eloading his gun
and arranging his boat he noticed a bird
.woop down and pick up n of his
aecoys and start to fly away with it.
For the instant he was too surprised
to take action, but regaining himself he
took aim and fired, bringing down a
gray eagle which measured nine
feet three incnes from tip to tip of the
wings. Victor Braid wood will mount
the bird.
