SLAUGHTER BEACH

Still the favOrite pastime IS crab
bling. They are plentiful. The record
for one catch is held by Z. c. Rey-
nOlds, who caught one hundred on
Tuesday morning in one hour, and
, returned about fifty besides to the
water because they were the So
called cushion" crab. The tides this
week have been early morning and
late in the afternoon, so that the
heat has not interferred much with
the sport

ing for a big crowd for the Inde-

resort is so accessible since the con-

the back of the cottages and will be

dusty one they have endured for
two seasons.
