Jail Birds Escape.

Last Saturday night the Jail here
was opened and all the occupants, five
in number, were liberated. The names
of the culprits were John Warren, G..
H. Dennis, Eugene Carter, George w.
Savage and Lloyd Tucker, all solored
men of bad repute.
One of them had already been sem
fenced to the penitentiary for year,
and John Warren was recently incar-
cerated for breaking in the store of
Howard Mapp & Bro.
Lloyd Tucker was captured Tues
day in Cape Charles, but the others
seem to have made good their escape.
The jail is in poor condition to keep
prisoners safely and the locks were
not strong and it seemed were forced
from the outside.-E. S. Herald.

Another meeting of the stOckhold-
ers of the Eastern Shore Produce EX-
change will be held at the court house
on Wednesday and the indications are
that it will be one of the largest gath
erings of the farmers ever known on
the Shore. Every farmer ought to
want to be present, who contrasts
present conditions with those which
prevailed before the Exchange was
organized, and in a spirit of harmony
showing that they are still standing
by it and are ready to do anything
which will insure its continued sue
cess. That it is their duty to do so no
farmer can question who remembers
the days before the Exchange and the
bankruptcy which threatened them
owing to the improper handling and
marketing of their produce, who is
thankful for the better prices which
have existed since the organization of
the Exchange and the prosperity in
cident thereto. Nor are they the on
ly ones to be thankful on the day.
Every merchant, mechanic and pro-
fessional man on the Eastern Shore
has profted too much by the opera
tions of the Exchange to doubt that
it is their duty to join with them i'll
the perpetuation of an organization so
full of blessings to all of us.
1t ought to be day of eXultatiOn,
of gratitude and JOY to all of us and
the man does not deserve prosperity
who comes to the meeting to croak,
and find fault with the management
of the Exchange without any sugges-
tions to offer which will promote the
efficiency of its operations. a report
is current that dissatisfaction may
crop out during the day. To the end
that wise counsels may prevail, there
fore, we suggest that every stock
holder who has at heart the best in
terest of the Exchange be present on
the occasion to profit by any sugges-
ton which may be made in the right
temper and with proper motives for
the better government of the Elk
change, or to reject ill-advised
schemes which may be presented on
the day.
The report of the manager and the
treasurer TO be made on the day will
show, we are advised that more pack
ages have been shipped by the Ex-
change this year than in any year of
its existence, that the prices for them
have been in the main satisfactory,
that the shippers have the right to be
satisfied with the results and that the
Exchange has been strengthened by
the addition of a considerable sum to |
its surplus. These things being true
we have the right to be satisfied with
the results and ought to go slow in |
making changes which may be sug-
gested. Another thing that will claim
the especial attention OF the stock |
holders on the day will be the election
of the officers for another year and it
is with them to say whether the Off
GERS for the present year have served
them satisfactorily and are entitled to
another term. That wise comsels
will prevail in all things on the day
we do not fear. We have too good
an opinion of the intelligence and
sense Of fairness of our people, to be-
lieve that steps will be taken by them
which will impair the efficiency of the
Exchange and thereby make it less
an instrument of good to them in the
future than it has been in the past.
