BOWERS BEACH

The cold weather which has prevailed
during April has been detrimental tc
business as carried on at and about
Bowers. Farmers and truckers have beer
delayed. but many are about done plant
ing corn and are preparing the fields fol-
tomatoes. Such truck as had been plant
ed, has been slow in termination and is
now just coming through the surface.
Fishermen are having success this sea-
son in fishing operations as compared
with former years at this time. The catch
is now adequate to supply the buyers
but, those who want fish for salting pur-
poses, have not come on the market yet.
Prices this season do not please the fish
ermen, as the price has run down as low
as one dollar per bushel-when the past
four or five seasons it has never reached
that low figure.
1t is generally thought, that fish will
be plenty and in large supply this sea-
son and that prices will be in REACH of
all-even for sailing purposes.
The fishing with hook and line has
started earlier than usual Two nimrods
from Philadelphia arrived here last Sat
Urday and engaged Captain William Car
ey to take them to the fishing grounds.
They came back with eighty fine fellows
about evenly divided between trout and
sea crocus, or hard heads.
Captain E. V. Davenport and wife, Mrs.
William King, and Mrs. Alex Minner took
a motor trip down the State on the boule-
ward last Sunday.
The dance at the Bayview Hall on Sat
urday night was the occasion for quite
a large party assembling there.
Miss Carrie Davidson left on Monday
morning of this week for the Methodist
Hospital in Philadelphia, where she will
go through an examination, and possibly
an operation to determine the extent of
injury sustained to one of her hips by a
fall month or so ago. Doctor Martin, of
Magnolia, and Mrs w. S. Davidson ac-
companied her there.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Sawyer of Cam
den, N. j., spent Saturday at this re-
sort, looking after their interest here, and |

An innovation for Bowers is being con-
sumated, and should receive the cncour-
agement and support that such an Or
ganization deserves. by all its citizens,
and all lovers of good music. Those that |
are at all efficient in performing on musi- !
cal instruments should recognize at once, |
what it would mean for the town to have
a frst-class orchestra of its own. Haldma
Minner and Coverdale have set the pace,
and purpose to give free open air con-
certs at Bowers. Aside from entertaining
music they have secured the service of
T. Brum Melvin, celebrated Buck and
Wing dancer to give exhibitions of his
fantastical prowess. The musicians are
to go under the name of '"The Philhar-
monic Bowers Orchestra" They are in
need of a cornet player, also a trombone
player, which they hope to secure soon.
