BOWERS BEACH

BUWEkN BEACH
The fine winter weather at the be-
ginning of this week has put new
life in all work and operations at this
place.
The bay oystermen were on the job
early Monday morning, taking up Oys-
ters on their plantations in the bay,
in order to supply the oyster shucking
houses here. The houses are working
full force in order to catch up with
their orders that came in last week,
when the conditions of the weather
was such that they could not get the
raw product to put in condition to
ship to their many customers.
The most of our fruit growers in
this vicinity are very much enthused
over the condition of the weather we
have had the past three or four weeks
as they claim we are sure to have a
most prolific crop of all kinds of fruit
this year.
The farmers or fruit growers are
not all that are hopeful and believe
that the coming spring will be an old
time fishing spring or season, as a
hard winter with much ice in the bay
and river is surely indicative Of
plentiful run Of fish in the season for
them to come in our waters.
The spring of 1921 which followed
an unusual mild winter was the poor
est fish season in the knowledge of
the oldest experienced fishermen on
the shore.
Miss Pauline Salevan, the youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. c. Sale
van, near town, who was severely ill
the past week with pneumonia, is
slowly recovering at the present writ
ing, under the skilful treatment of
Doctor w. F. Hoey, and the trained
nurse, Miss Sarah Belts.
On account of the last snow storm
and the almost impossible condition
of our roads to this place it was
very serious matter for any one to be-
come sick and need a physician. Let
us hope that these conditions will be
entirely eradicated by 1928 with con-
crete road linking our town with the
du Pont boulevard.
Miss Lillian Scott, of Frederick, is
teaching Warren's School for the time
being, while Mrs. Alice Gray, the reg
ular teacher, is away to a city hospi-
tai with her husband, who had to un-
dergo an operation.
Rather an unusual large flock OF
wild geese passed over town going
north on Sunday morning last, con-
sidered harbinger of milder wea-
ther.
The authorities in charge of the du
Pont school building fund are nego-
tiating with John B. Lindale of Mag
nolia for a plot of land at Little Heav-
en-, along the boulevard, for color
ed college.
Our most accommodating mail driv-
er, Willis Patterson, is having the
time of his life this winter in deliv-
ering the mail on his route. So much
so that he is contemplating purchas-
ing an airplane to help him out.
y The mechanics are engaged in COM
pIeting the interior of the elizabeth
an Hall" at this time. When fully
completed and decorated by the mas
ter painter, M. J. Flynn, of this place,
the Ladies Aid Society, will have a
hall second to none in this county, in
size/or convenience.
Frank Roe who owns a nice piece
Of land in town is willing to lease a
part of it for baseball diamond. AS
he is quite a baseball fan he would
like to see Bowers with a winning
team and suitable place to play on.
Our boys should not fail to see Mr..
Roe.
Ora w. Roberts and family of near

and located on Hubbard avenue.
Willie Martin, one of our prominent
young men, near town, claims that
the roads from his home to Lincoln
have Just been fine this winter as he
travels them three times week.
Mrs. H. e. Jackson was called to
on Friday Of last week
to see her father, who is reported to
be in very serious condition in a
hospital.
On account of the very unfavorable
weather of last week the entertain

Quite a number are yet on the sick
list, but confined principally to chill
dren with colds.
