Bowers Beach

The visitors at the resort do not
seem to decrease in numbers at all, as
every day there are gatherings of peo-
pie from different parts or sections
that assemble here to pass the day;
besides those who come for the pur-
pose of sport, such as fishing and
other amusements.
The week-enders who have been
coming since the latter part of the
month of May to take in the hook and
line fishing, still continue to come and
in increased numbers as the last week
end witnessed.
Then the outlook at this time is
that the coming month of September
will be as good for the resort as the
summer months as many have made
reservations for different periods of
the month for their accommodations,
therefore, it's a safe guess to expect
the coming month to be an exception
to any former September.
The same applies to the summer
cottages, while they are all filled at
the present time, there is a greater
remand for them during the coming
month than ever before. In fact, some
have made engagements for cottages
until the first of October, as they pre-
fer to take their vacation at that late
period in order to enjoy the fishing.
The visitors and pleasure seekers /
who assembled here on Thursday of
last week were far beyond the eXpec-
tations of the most sanguine, coming
as it did after the traditional big day
and the impression was as other re-
sorts would have their big days on
that date that it was reasonably eX-
pected that only perhaps a few, COM
paratively speaking, would be here.
Saturday was another big day for
the colOred people, when another big
crowd of them was in evidence and
a good jolly time they had, and
more peaceful and fun-loving set of
colored people never met at the old
resort than they were.
Among the big crowds of white and
colored with their hundreds of auto
going to and from, forming
4 real panorama, there was not an ac-
3ident during the whole time that Oc-
cured among them, at least so far as .
reported.
