BOWERS BEACH

? The rainy weekend was not at al
conducive to the coming of the man,
expected visitors that would hav
been at the shore here on that occas
ion. In fact many had made reserva
tions for their accommodation, ant
had expected toftake in the hook ant
line fishing. Saturday proved so I'm
favorable, the rain holding them bacl
and late Saturday evening and nigh
we had a regular deluge Of rain, 81
much so, that it put an end to trave
for the time being.
Sunday was more favorable weather
and we had quite few visitors will
us. The rain was of much benefit tC
the farmers and truckers as the early
paintings were very much in need Of
rain, so it's an ill wind that blows no
body good the old axiom that April
showers bring on May flowers.
A few of the fishing boats went out
to the fishing grounds on Sunday but
the nimrods had only ordinary luck,
no big catches being reported.
But the surf seine fishermen are
having extraordinary luck so far this
week in their operations. Some of
the seines hauling ashore as many as
hundred bushels at a haul and all
are good marketable fish.
On Monday there were four hundred
bushels Of trout caught of fine size,
with but very few croakers, commonly
called hard heads, among them, to the
surprise Of the seine haulers.
The fish sold readily at So per bush
ell and the demand was equal to the
supply.
Mrs. Estella Hollinger Of near town
met with the misfortune on Friday
morning of last week to get her stable
carriage house and corn crib burned
up. The fire originated in some unac-
cOuntable manner to her. By the quick
response of the neighbors and their
efforts all other buildings were saved
w. W. Moore who kept a boarding
house here during the season last
year on Hubbard avenue, moved his
goods from here to Chester, Pa, on
Monday of this week, where he and
his family will reside tie present year.
Having had the assurance of a full
years work at good wages he con-
cluded the change would be to his adj
vantage.
