Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1896-09-05
William Matthews, a resident of


charged with relieving the Pocomoke
man OF sl2 watch and $40 or S12
in cash. Matthews met the young
man with several others at kline's re-
sort, and all hands occupied most of
Thursday night drinking. When they
came to their senses Matthews watch
was in Schneider's pocket, and the
man from Pocomoke had no money
left.
That portion of Chesapeake bay
above the mouth of Chester river is
reported almost alive with shoals of
taylor or blue fish. The tributaries
must Of necessity furnish plenty of this
delightful pan fish. Fishermen OF Rock
Hall are taking advantage of the OPP
portunity and are catching them by
hundreds. A Rock Hall fisherman
says nothing like it was ever seen be-
fore. The fisherman were entirely
unprepared for any such occurrence,
but they went promptly at work and
secured large quantities of the fish.
One man was forced to haul in his net
to prevent il from being torn up by
his great catch.
As the racing man loses no OPP
portunity TO select such apparatus as
will conduce to the last item of speed,
realizing that his reputation, salary
and consequent glory depend upon his
success as racing man and winner,
he has gradually abandoned the single
tube form of tire and taken to the
double-tube As result of this the
records have been repeatedly lowered
in the last year, and new records are
now being made almost daily. 1t is
apparent that the days OF the single
tube are numbered, and that in Il
short time no racing man will feel
properly equipped unless mounted on
double-tube tire.
A few of the new 81 silver cert.
ficates have been received in Snow Hill.
The new note is by far the handsomest
of the series OF new silver certificates
so far issued. On the front OF the note
is picture representing science pre-
senting steam and electricity TO COM
menrce and manufacture. Science is
represented rs a woman with two
children one OF whom is Steam and
the other Electricity. Two female
figures standing one on each side rep
resent Commerce and Manufacture.
Both are fully robed. On the reverse
side of the note are portraits of Fulton.
the inventor of the steamboat, and
Morse, the inventor of the electric
telegraph.
The peach crop OF this county has
been a good one, but the farmers have
not profited thereby the prices they
have received in the city very often
bringing them in debt to the commits
sion merchant This is deplorable
state OF affairs and we cannot under
stand how peach buyers stationed at
the various railroad stations in Della
ware last week could pay all the way
from so cents to Si.00 a basket for
peaches delivered on the platform,
while our shippers received only 80 to
30 cents basket for Just rs good
peaches delivered in the city. There
is something rotten somewhere and it
is about time we ascertain the cause
and find remedy.

Many OF the people of this section
will remember Mr.. Charles +. Whit
low, a young Englishman who spent
several months during 1894 and %
with Captain Capper on his farm at
Public Landing, and also Frederick
Durrant another young Englishman,
who was partner with Captain Capper
on the same farm. Mr.. Whitlow
emigrated from here 10 Bulawayo,
South America, last year and sought
the gold fields OF that country. The
trouble brought upon the government
of South Africa by the Matabelles
was the occasion for the calling out of
all able-bodied men to suppress them,
which has not vet been accomplished.
Mr.. Whitlow shouldered his musket
and has since been in some important
engagements. In June his Company
was surrounded by about one thousand
of the Matabelle warriors. quite a
mum her of them were killed and Mr..
Whitlow was badly wounded in the
hip, and has been in the hospital eight
weeks. Mr.. Durrant left here last

fortune Captain Capper has heard
from them and they are anxious to see
