BOWERS.


We surely are having a most de-
lightful season Of rain for the past
two weeks and from reports this wet
weather is to keep up Tor 1orty days
ana nights. OF course it requires
great zeal Of faith to believe a thing
like that as We are positive we have
not many in this community with the
faith OF the old Apostle Peter.
The town of Bowers is a town that
has been incorporated according to
the laws of the State and its officers
are chosen and elected in a legitimate
way, and therefore they have per-
feet right to enforce any rules and
regulations they see fit towards the
betterment and the protection of its
citizens so therefore the town council
met the past week and they as body
have decided to enforce the rules in
regards to the automobiles. The speed
limit in town was decided at twelve
miles per hour and thRt the cut-outs
should not be used at all, and to blow
at all crossings as we have one very
dangerous street corner that should
never be taken without the signal |
from the horn. The writer was re-
quested to inform the public as to the !
councils intention and it is with all |
due courtesy that they herein warn |
the public as they intend to very rig |
idly enforce these laws in the future.
The town authorities are installing |
this week new gas street lights of
twelve hundred candlepower, and it is
to be hoped they will give entire sat
isfactiOn as this town in the past has
been very poorly provided for in that
respect.
The town of Bowers almost reminds
us OF Wyoming station in its balmy
days of peaches as there is every trip
of the Steamer Frederica a line OF
teams loaded with that most delicious
fruit lined up the whole length of
Hubbard Avenue, and on those days it
is quite a sight to the city cousins that
are sOjourning with US. Peaches have
been bringing from fifty to seventy
I'VE cents right at our wharf.
There has been some talk of some
parties from the city coming to our
town and starting a moving picture
place this season, but nothing of a
definite nature has materialized until
this week when the firm of Davidson
& Minner has taken up the matter and
when these two gentlemen get after
a thing it generally materializes. SO
boys get busy as we certainly want
you to hold your past record. Y
All this talk in the city papers about t
the great shark scare at the different j
watering places along the Atlantic y
seaboard as yet has not materialized q
at this place and the bathing is fine c
and every day there can be seen hun
dreds enjoying this refreshing sport S
with no fear whatever. II
The farmers in this vicinity who
have not threshed their wheat are be-
coming very much alarmed towards o
the condition of their grain as they \
say the upkeep OF this wet weather A
much longer will cause wheat in the v
shock to go bad.
