BOWERS BEACH

The resort has been quite lively
since the middle of last week with
visitors both transcient and soiourn-
ers in cottages. The cottages are
about filled with parties now and will
remain so until the middle of Septem-
ber or longer and we can reasonably
expect a good lively time from now
on. The transient visitors as to num-
bers are wonderful and it's more Won
derful to imagine how they manage
to avoid having some accident when
we contemplate the vast number of
automobiles and trucks that come
here every day.
The weekend is the oppOrtune time
for the nimrods to come, especially
from the cities and distant towns and
! they take advantage of that fact. Dur
ing the last weekend the fishermen
were more successful in the number
of fish caught than any time before
and the general report from the nu-
merOus parties out, that the quality
and size were better and that the
catches run to trout more than for
merly.
Quite an unpleasant occurrence
happened on Sunday with one of the
party that Captain Jack Perry had
in his boat. The fish were biting the
hook lively when one of the nimrods
from Wilmington pulled up a large
stingeree and landed in the boat, much
to his sorrow, when it was Topping
about it struck the man with it's
stinger in the fieshy part of his leg
with such force the stinger had to be
cut out and the man hurried to a doc |
tor for treatment.
