The Peninsula was visited with
freezing weather last Monday night.
Thin ice formed and there was quite a
fall of frost, but it is generally conceded
that no great damage to fruit and
vegetables will result from this cold
snap. The weather was dry and the
trees were not injured in the least. The
cool man still has the call and the ice
man wears a long face. But his time
will soon be here and then he will reap
his harvest.
About thirty of our Pocomoke City
subscribers did not receive their MES
sENGERS until Tuesday of this week, be-
cause these papers were put up in the
Philadelphia bundle by mistake and
came back to Snow Hill from Philadel-
phia on Monday, when they were re-
mailed to Pocomoke City. The MES
sENGER is printed every Friday without
fail. and whenever you do not get it you
will understand that there is hitch
somewhere.
Miss Mollie Cherrix and David G.

drove from Franklin City to Snow Hill
last, Saturday night and were married in
the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court

couple to bemarried in the Court House.
They We're a nice looking couple and
seemed much pleased when the nuptial
knot had been tied. 1t is presumed the
young ladies parents had objections to
her marriage.

The many friends of Mr.. E. X.
Wilson were pleased to greet him last
Sunday when they saw him in Snow
Hill for the first time for about two
years. Mr.. Wilson arrived here Satur-
day night from Baltimore, where he had
been sojourning for several weeks with
his mother and sister. Mr.. Wilson was
ordered to Colorado about two years
ago by his physician, as he was then in
poor health. Now, thanks to the West
ern climate, he is greatly improved
and bears marks of his life on the
plains, being tanned to a good brown
and with muscles as hard as one could
well conceive. We are glad to welcome
Mr.. Wilson home and hope he will find
the climate agrees with him.
