OAK ORCHARD

Did someone say, this is a time of
business depression? Well, no one
coming in here would imagine such
a thing, every day sees the lumber
trucks coming in, cottages going up,
people repairing, painting and clean
ing, new board walks going down,
not before they were needed either,
they have been needed, talked over,
sthn repaired, but this time they are
gradually appearing, and rumor says
it is to be new from Spears up be-
yond the Indian River House.
Theodore Burton has recently fin
ished a new bungalow up on the
point near Mr.. Beauchamp's, who, by
the way, we often see down at his
cottage.
Mr.. Vending, of Wilmington, also
Mr.. Holt, of the same city, have been
repairing and enlarging their cot
tages during the past winter, and
with their lawns planted in different
kinds of shrubbery certainly have
added much, not only to their own
homes, but to the whole of that part
of the beach.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hearn, of Phil
adelphia, for many years summer
residents here, are now spending
more time with us. Mr.. Hearn has
recently purchased the Stromberg
cottage, built a new garage, made
many other repairs and with the
help of Mrs. Hearn, who knows just
how to do things, made it a very at
tractive cottage.
Most of our business places are
open for business, the two popular
sandwich stands just across from
each other, Mrs. Addie Phillips and
our old standby, Uncle" Will
Trader, both the best of friends, are
doing their best to brighten up the
corners where they are" and we
think their efforts were rewarded, |
from the customers we saw around |
them on Sunday.
The cool evenings we are having |
are not the best for the dances be- |
ing held three times a week-Tues-
day, Thursday and Saturday even
ings-on Spears pier, but consider
ing it is the early part of the season
the orchestra seems very well sat
istied with the attendance.
Wilfred Paquette, better known to |
his multitude of friends as Grow,
is again on the beach helping to
out some of our lighting
troubles.
We are having many inquiries for
cottages for the summer season. Geo.
Phillips has rented his home for the
season to Mr.. and Mrs. Messick, of
Wilmington, and we hear others are
doing the same.
James Phillips has rented the cot
tage and filling station he recently
bought to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bur-
ton for the balance of this year
They are welcome addition to our
resort and we hope they stay with
rs.
The warm pleasant day on Sunday
brought us many visitors from all
parts of the country. Some far away,
many from near by.
Miss Daisy from Log Cabin Inn," 7
IN highway near Townsend, was a I
Welcome visitor on Tuesday. d
The many crabs, both hard and S
oft, being caught here are bringing v
many parties down. Not only
Turing the day but some are crab l
ing at night with lanterns, and the v
many bathers so early, is a surprize d
D even the oldest residents.
Mr.. Moore, of Baltimore, has been r
nth us, painting and cleaning his II
ottage ready for the summer; also Ii
Ir. Lawton of Swarthmore, Pa.
George Burton, also Mr.. Vare of h
lover, are getting their places in
lape for the season. al
