The third series of stock has been
issued by The Snow Hill Building and
Loan Association IN which the number
of shares already subscribed compares
fayorably with the first two. At meet
ing of the stockholders last Friday night
all of the old officers were reelected and
the prospect for the success OF the Asso-
citation thereby assured. With such an
institution in our midst there is no reason
why every industrious man should not
own his home, which he can pay for
through the Association i'm monthly in
stallments.
The weather generally has been un
favorable for farm work. Because of
the wet weather the tillers of the soil
have been unable To get their corn plant
ed. Those who have planted will likely
have to replant as the cold wet weather
will cause IL to rot in the ground Wheat
is looking well and grass is in good con-
dition. The prospect was never better for
a good fruit crop of nearly every kind.
Strawberries are in bloom and in fine
condition. More sunshine and warmer
weather is what is needed to forward the
growing crops.
We have had complaints from several
of our subscribers recently concerning
the non arrival of the MESSENGER at
their respective posiofiices at the proper

since we assumed control, six years ago,
we have never missed single issue nor
have we ever failed in that time 10 start
every subscribers paper 10 them in Satur-
day mornings early mail. therefore we
are not at fault but the blame lies with
one of the postmasters on the route from
Snow Hill 10 the Office of the subscriber
Once or twice the mistake has beer
between Snow Hill and Princess Anne

Wilton and we have learned that Wilton

be investigated and the party at faul
