SLAUGHTER BEACH

we have had an unusual amount oi
rain for this time of the year, but il
has only for a short time made the
temperature a bit lower. Bathing
has been delight, and the younger
generation have spent the hot days
in bathing suit, and as soon as the
tide came up bit the water was the
place for all of them.
We are delighted to tell about the
new road. By the time this goes to
press the road will be completed and
what a fine one it is. 1t was built
under the supervision of Clark Hill,
County Engineer, and is of tar and
Stag composition. The road bed has
been made much wider, especially at
the north end an daffords parking
space on the sides and passage for
the moving cars. The road is about
two miles long and all but about a
quarter of mile has this good rid
ing surface. Residents are quite
proud of this added improvement.
Capt. Clarence Plummer took a
fishing party out to the grounds on
Friday of last week and came back
with a splendid report of their luck.
The people were from Salisbury, all
men with one exception, the wife OF
one of the men went, too. There
were five in the party and they
caught fifty-two fish. 1t must have
been a matter to boast about that

caught the biggest fish of the day.
It was a trout and weighed eight
pounds.
