The attention of the people at this
resort is being turned toward "Big
Thursday" and the preparations for
it are being made. 1t falls on the 18th
of the month this year.
All the places where there are any
possible chance for accommodations
are sought after. The hotels, the eat
ing houses, the roOming houses and
even private homes are receiving ap-
plications for accommodations from
people from a distance that expect to
spend the big day at the resort.
The cottages have long been engag-
ed and in fact are all filled at the
present, but during that time will
more than likely be filled if possible
to Overflowing.
We have the assurance if nothing
unavoidable prevents that we will
have with us on the Big Thursday Oc-
casion the Brotherhood Band of thir-
ty-five pieces from Port Norris, N. J.,
that will discourse music all day for
the entertainment of the great mass
/ of people here on that day.
We are assured by aonther business
party that another band will be 10
Gated on the beach front during the
day, so we are certain that we will
have music for the occasion in abund-
ance.
