Slaughter Beach Breezes


Another summer season has start.

dozen cottages are already open
and occupied. The Slaughter Beach
Hotel is accommodating fishing par
ties most every day. And the fishing
was never so good as at the present
time. On Sunday many left from
here for the fishing grounds just off
this resort. The warm days of last
week were delightful for bathing
and canoeing. The storm the first
part of this week brought to use the
fireplaces, which made the cottages
very comfortable. The residents
have learned to survive such storms.
They have to, for each year an av-
erage of one a month visits Slaugh-
