Tells OF Things That Are And
Things That Ought To Be.
In The County.
We hope that the Salt Water Inlet
will be success. II deserves to be-
and the people who have SO unselfishly
given it time and thought deserve the
commentator of the people.
Our own Ocean City is not suffering
very much from "dryness" so far as
the number Of good people who 90
there is concerned If reports are to
be believed, the place is on a healthy
boom. Hotels and boarding houses are
doing a good business and the big ex-
cursions have not yet started up. 1t is
expected that several thousand people
from all parts Of the Peninsula will
spend the 4th at Ocean City.
Game Warden. H. r. Harmonson. is
giving the same attention TO his Office
that he does to other matters in which
he is Interested He has just issued
bulletin to his deputies on the Chesa-
peake and tributaries calling attention
to recent act of the Legislature re-
stricting purse net fishing.
After we get good, hard roads from
Berlin to Pocomoke City. no matter by
which route. il is likely that in a few
years we will see trolley line running
the route If we live twenty more
years we expect TO see many improve
ments in old Worcester
Some people are natural born kick
ers. They never want what they've
got and they never will be happy. Even
in Heaven they will want TO run things,
if they are so fortunate as to get there.

and always have something TO say that

visit to neighboring town TO ascer-
tain the financial standing of one OF
the citizens Of that town. He said he
never found a man in the town who
had anything but good words to say
about his debtor. People in the same
line of trade spoke in the highest terms
Of him, and said he vas all right. Is
this the ease with the people of Snow
Hill. Pocomoke City and Berlin? We
know that ii is the reverse. and We
also know that we ought to stop the

New York has just caught up with
Snow Hill in the matter of using high
pressure hydrants in the place of en-
gines for iire-fghting purposes. An
article in the Baltimore Neps says in

New York Fire Department confidently
predict that pumping stations will soon
