Bowers Beach

The cool weather of the past week
end had somewhat a deleterious effect
on visitors at the resort as their num-
Ders were very materially diminish
ed.
Quite number of the fish fans
were IN evidence but not as many as
formerly, but none seemed so anxious
to brave the strong northwesterly
winds; hence but very little fishing
was done until Monday Of this week,
when quite a number of the boats had
parties out. While some of the boats
reported good catches, some above the
average, others were very meager in
their count.
Yet, the fans were not to be daunt-
ed. Many of them returning TO their
homes, but before leaving made reser-
vations for future visits.
The fishing must be good or at
least improve very much through the
balance of September and the early
part of October, as that season is con-
sidered among the best in the bay, but
it all, however, depends upon the wea-
ther at that time.
But the quality of the fish have and
are improving very much, as trout
fish are more numerous and of extra |
size, while large croakers are being
caught and a number of sea bass of |
large size have been brought in re-
Gently.
The oyster shucking houses are be-
ing put in condition for work when
they will open, about the first of Oc-
tober for business.
The oysters in the bay are in fine
condition and the planters will begin
work on their grounds about the first !
of the month.
The church bell was rung on Sun
day afternoon here for the first time
IN over two months. The minister a
preached a good sermon, but to a very 1
meager congregation, but we feel in
hopes that now that the hustle and t.
stir about town is subsiding that the p
church attendance will improve. Q
