Bowers Beach

2 Big Thursday at Bowers has pass-
- ed SO far as this year is concerned
and to say the least it was A big
: day when the number of people thai
was mere IS taken in consideration.
AS TO the number of people that
would be an impossibility to give
but various estimates were made bv
various persons but it was evident
that there were assembled here as
many if not more than on any for
mer occasion.
Inc weather was fine and every
body seemed on pleasure bent. Not
a hight, not a drunk that was notice.
able and not an accident of any kind
that has been reported.
The prospect is that there will be
thousands of people here on Thurs
day Of this week. Great preparations
are being made by the care takers to !
take care of another enormous
crowd.
The politicians were on hand in
full force and especially those who
are seeking office and soliciting
votes at the primaries and of them
there are full plenty.
Saturday last was another big day
for the cOlOred people. They were on
hand again-this being the second /
big day for them an unusual occur {
rence-as they as a rule only gather :
here on one big Saturday. EC
But they were for fun Inclined In
everything was peaceable with moth
ing excitable during the day here, s
but a strange happening occurred n
litter certain ones had left the resort q
n their cars. "
When they had gotten about two W
niles out of town three or four cars II
topped along the road and the oc- tn
upants alighted and engaged in a bt
rec fist fight and fought to a finish. th
Their actions were misunderstand- dr
BILE in leaving the resort and stop ne
ing along the road for fisticuff un- Or
'ss they were afraid the cop might fo
ct them here and they would get
Inside of the town limits and fight VI
out to their hearts content.
But so far as their conduct or be-
aviOr at the resort it was as good
could be expected on an occasion Fr
