coats, jumping from tree to tree
sending forth their sharp twill
songs, made a scene hard to de-
scribe.
We entered the cabin and going
out on the front porch took seats
and gazed with rapture both up and
down the pond and remarking tC
each other did you ever see any
thing so lovely. The sloping hills
with the grass still green, the many
small flowers still alive, reaching up
to catch a CLEAN of the morning
sun-the waters of the pond so calm
and peaeeful-the wild ducks diving
to catch the minnows, who must
fee to save their lives, made a scene
so peaceful that when the time came
we were loath to leave. The only
disturbance at any time was when
the large bass would jump and stir
the waters. This was to let us know
that they would be on the job and
ready for us when the next season
should arrive.
Note+The writer fully intended
to finish this story this week but it
will take more space than we in
tended that it should. We will kindly
ask the readers of the Chronicle to
have patience and we will finish the
narrative sometime after the Christ
mas holidays are over. Thank you!
An Unexpected Boom
One of our popular seaside re-
sorts is now having boom, which
was not expected before next sum
mer to say the least. What has
caused all this commOtion now go
ing on at this old bayside resort.
1t seems that last week a rum
chaser in pursuing a motor boat
loaded with intoxicating liquor,
caused it to run in close to the
shore at a well-known beach and
throw the cargo overheard to es-
cape capture. |
In a few hours it was noised
around what had happened and peo-
pie began to arrive at the beach
from all sections, with trucks, mo-
.or cars and any other kind of We
licles that would carry a bag OF
or case of gin.
1t was said that in few hours
he bulk of the cargo had been re-
moved from the beach, before the
lrrival of the prohibition agents and
.oast guards, whose presence did
lot seem to deter the people from
continuing to remove the stuff, by
,oats and other means, using back
Dads which the agents and coast
,uards were unfamiliar with.
The liquor salvaged, we are told,
vas of high grade, and must have
,een a heavy loss to those who |
we're compelled to throw it over
oard to avoid capture with the
.oods on board.
The beach was strewn with grass
acks which had contained bottles
f liquor whose contents had been
nbibed by the thirty or broken
ihen thrown overheard, leaving a
lass of glass along the shore.
A gentleman who was present at
ne beach said he very much doubt {
if this old resort would have

tally at night when the liquor was {

Some have said that the clans,
ysters or muscles caught in the

Ome time to come. Perhaps the sat I
ration which these bivalves will |
ass through will kill the germs s

erenaders c
The serenaders we're out in force '
n Thursday evening of last week.
hey surrounded the home of Mr.. a
nd Mrs. George M. Reed and made /
lite a noise, little better than f
1t fight. Mr.. and Mrs. Reed must q
ave been satisfied as they invited I
le boys to come in and partake of
which were served. q
The boys who in recent years en- d
