BOWERS.

While Oscar Maloney was at Bowers
Beach last Sunday evening the tires on
his automobile were cut, the cap from the
radiator was stolen, the carburetor dam
aged, the switches and other movable
parts removed and other damage was
done to the car by vandals. A party of
Young boys who were seen near the car
were accused of the act, but they stoutly
denied it. Some persons stated however
that al older person was probably re-
sponsible for the act. The car at the
time of the trouble was standing near the
cannery here. The authorities have been
notified and are making every effort to
learn the identity of the guilty parties,
should they be found, they will be prose-
cuted.
Owing to last Sunday being a most per
feet day, Bowers was visited by host OF
people who came by automobile from all
the surrounding towns, and several from
Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware City and
Wilmington. The hotels were taxed
heavily in the line of feeding these peo-
pie, ,but no one was turned away hun
gry-as the Bowers hotels are always on
the job and with that fit to make those
who once put their feet under their tables
anxious to repeat the dose.
The cottages are filling up fast, and the
hot weather of the past week has made
the city people look for the cool sea
breezes of old Bowers, where they can
come and enjoy life to its fullest extent
by bathing boating, fishing and claiming.
The steamer Frederica is now making
three trips each week, and will continue
through July and the month of August.
This boat certainly is great benefit to
Bowers, and at this season of the year,
more especially, as she brings load after
load of passengers, bound for our pleas
ure shores. This helps Bowers people
and the surrounding farmers financially
long may the Frederica continue to steam
up and down the Murderkill river and
bay bringing JOY and happiness to thous-
ands that patronize her, and especially
our city cousins, whose mouths are water
ing for that good old South Murderkill
biscuit and fried chicken. -

The young man who lives near Bowers
nd advertised for wife in the last issue
f the Chronicle, is certainly meeting
nth results that are encouraging; as he

tuesday, and one in particular stated

ionial market, all of one family, and
nat he could have his choice. He is
employing stenographer, as

hronicle for any thing one wants
