Lewes, Delaware Events
at the Breakwater 15 August, 1882
Lewes is full of summer
visitors. The fruit evaporator of William B. Yeardley began
running Wednesday and
Virden & Draper started theirs on Friday. After several days
of
stormy days we are
enjoying fine weather. Dr. D. H. Houston and his family of Lewes
are
visiting in Rehoboth.
There is very little sickness in Lewes at the present time. Many of
the Lewes young people
are visiting Rehoboth.
Peaches are coming in
large quantities, also watermelon and cantalopes.
Last Saturday , the horse
hooked up to the J. H. Dodd store wagon, standing unhitched, at
their Market Street store,
was firghtened and ran away, smashing the wagon to pieces by
contact with a post. It
was soon caught ithour anyone getting hurt.
Mosquitoes are very thick
and increasing both in size and numbers. J.A. Nixon, mail
agent on the P. W. & B
railroad, returned home sick today. Miss Sally B. Waples returned
to Lewes today from Ann
Arbor, Michigan, where she has been visiting with her uncle a few
weeks.
