1853 barrels of porgies on board and s
barrels of weak fish; total 176 barrels.
Porgies are now selling at SIT and SIS
per barrel; and weak fish at $22 a bar
rel. II the Jacob Ockers catch this
trip were sold at these figures through
out. the SUM realized must have been
about 8 200. Why no blue fish? What
is wrong? Why, other years the blues
began to appear in big schools as early
as middle and latter part of June. One
fisherman, sorely puzzled and at his
wits end to give a good reason for the
scarcity Of the pretty blue fish, blamed
the loss in a sheer fit of desperation, on
the kaiser. And there may be some
basis for this theory after all. The ter
rife cannonading in Europe may have
terrified the fish and driven them back
to equatorial waters. The earth trem-
ors tower there" must be intense; and
the vibrations may be communicated
to the adjacent waters and carried long
distances out to sea, thus frightening
the finny tribes. This theory is advanc-
ed for what its worth, in the absence
of a better one.
War Savings Stamps are within the
reach Of everyone who conscientiously
wants to save.
Good mistress stork has been so busy
of late that she forgot to note the arri-
val at Bishops Inn on Tuesday, July
I'd, 1918, at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Olof johnson, little Margaret Elizabeth
Johnson, now nearly a month old. MI.
Johnson follows the sea for a livelihood
or rather it should be said, follows the
fish in the sea, and makes good money
too, as he fishes south in winter, and
north in summer. He arrived at An
glesea about April 20. Last winter he
fished in tine vicinity Of Fort Pierce,
in Florida, once the site of a Semi
mole Indian fort in ante-Revolutionary
days. Fort Pierce is not far from Palm
Beach, and much Of Mr.. Johnson's fish
ing is done in st. Lucie inlet. 10 miles
from Fort Pierce. What kind of fish
are chiefly caught there? Why, span
ish mackerel, spotted trout and POM
PIANO. The fishes of the last named
species have a brilliant silvery or gol-
den luster and are highly esteemed for
their food value. Olof has been fish
ing in Florida waters for winters elev-
en-. Before her marriage to Olof, Mrs.
Johnson's name was Margaret Neary,
and her home was at Mount Carmel,
near Shamokin, where some of the
anthracite coal barons dwell. The
celebrated Natalie mines are at Mount
Carmel.
On last Tuesday, Cathryn MCKINLEY,
of Philadelphia, formerly of Anglesea,
journeyed to Jamestown, Pa, where
she filled a professional engagement in
the evening. Frequent demands are
made on Miss Mckinley in operate
and In concert work. Her worth and
popularity as a c~oloraturs soprano are
constantly increasing. Her presence
at the Wildwood Casino auditorium
once more this season is promised by
the music committee, and we trust
nothing may intervene to prevent the
contamination of this event on the
September 1st program. Miss Nc
Ginley's father, Captain Harry Nc
Ginley, is nos at Jacksonville, Fla, in
charge of the United States Coast
Guard station for three weeks, during
the temporary absence of the coast
guard superintendent at that point.
Within the past two weeks, four
young men of Anglesea have gone to
join the U. 8. Merchant Marines: Gus
Peterson, Charley Taft, Tony Mario,
and Charley Suedeburg. Peterson has
been sent to Cuba; Taft to Boston. A
fifth lad, Nick Nelson was called to
Camp Dix.
Mrs. George G. Conner and daugh-
ter have received a telegram stating
that Mr.. Conner has arrived safely
"Over Seas" MI. Conner has gone
to France to do Y. M. g. A. work with
our boys at the front. He is a heart
and soul patriot and is glad to be In
the fight for his beloved America.
