Bowers Beach

that eventful day, Big Thursday, will
have pass and gone so far as the pres
ent year is concerned; but suffice to
say that with favorable weather there
will be a big time in the old town
that day.
There has never been made such
preparations for any occasion as are
being made for that time. Applications
for room and board, not only with the
public places, but with private fam1l-
les. The cottages are all filled and al
most to overflowing with sOjourners
for the time being and the occupants
of them are making great preparation
to entertain their friends on the oc-
casion.
But the big crowds are not all con-
fined to that one day or occasion, as
each weekend as they come around
is a reminder of what the big days in
August looked like in days of yore.
The people that are occupants of
cottages are here on pleasure bent as
evidenced by the house parties and
entertainments of their friends.

water. One of the wells that he has
finished has a flow of about eighteen
inches above the surface, that he put
n for w. S. Davidson, on his ground
which he has laid off in building lots
along the Murderkill River. Two Of

while his mach lery is here we have
lot been advised but the fact remains

ow nwithin the last six years, thir-
cen wells and al of them have given
