The Pocomoke City papers speak
very highly of opening day at the art
studio of II. ID. Clogg. of this town, in
Pocomoke City last Thursday. The
Ledger Enterprise says MIR. Clogg has
fitted up an attractive studio. and dis
plays work of real artistic skill. Sepia
portraits. pictures in water colors, and
platinum work are Oh exhibifion; the
carbon photograph is. however, the
latest novelty. and will doubtless meet
popular taste. The Glass picture of the
Snow Hill High School deserves men
tion for its artistic arrangement. Mr..
Clogg was formerly one of Pocomoke's
boys, and greeted with pleasure the
many old friends who thrOnged his
studio We have frequently had
occasion to speak of the excellent work
done by Mr.. Clogg. ana we congratulate
him on receiving such generous praise
from the Pocomoke City press.
