HEAVY RAILROAD TRAFFIC.

OGDEN, Dec 22.-The prevailing
cold snap has caused the larger part
of tho construction gang in the rail-
road yards TO be laid off until the
weather moderates. Little progress can
be made in building or other work
while the extremely cold weather lasts
and II is hoped that soon after the
first of the year the work can be re-
sumed. The men employed at the new
freight depot have had TO practically
abandon work for the present. The
surveyors. under Engineer Darling. are
still running new lines for yard en-
largements and as long as they can
work to advantage, they win be kept
busy. The traffic in the yards is very
heavy. over 10 switch engines being
required to take care OF the numerous
freight and passenger trains arriving
In ogden daily. An average OF 20
freight trains have been leaving Ogden
for some time past. which is an eX-
ceptional record under present climatic
conditions

The POCOmOke Fair.

The Pocomoke Fair, as is always the
case, was a grand success, so far as the
tests of speed and the exhibits are con-
cerned. The list of entries was so large
this year that it is impossible for US to
chronicle in this one story the races of
the four days.
On Wednesday the premiums were
awarded to exhibitors in the various de-
partments. Very good exhibits of fancy
work, preserves, fruits. vegetables and
farm machinery attracted considerable
attention. A monkey-faced owl in the
poultry department was a curiosity.
The exhibit of greatest interest to the
farmer was the vegetables. There was
corn l2 and Is feet high, turnips meas
nring 10 inches in diameter, and large
pumpkin which required a special con-
veyance for its transportation. A num-
ber of booths showed exhibits of pianos
and furniture.
This was the eighth annual fair at
Pocomoke City and it was largely at

We recently placed in the hands of
the Newspaper Collection Agency the
names of those subscribers stricken
from our list in May, 1908, because of
their being delinquents. We have
waited patiently for these delinquents
to settle with us and they apparently
expected that we would give them the
amounts they owe. We are not doing
that kind of business. 1t costs great
deal of money to run this paper and in
the future we will place no name on our
list unless the subscription is paid in ad-
vance and it must be paid promptly every
year thereafter. We are getting our
list as near to this requirement as pos
sible. 1t is not very pleasant for US to
resort to legal methods to collect what
is due us but we do not intend to be un-
justly deprived of that which properly
belongs to US. If you owe for the MES
sENGER do not allow yourself to be
placed in the delinquent class but
promptly bring or send US the amount
you owe. We shall begin sending out
bills to subscribers very shortly. We
will not send these bills as mere
formality but as notice that we want
our money and we expect it from all who
owe US. Eds. DEMOCRATIC MESSENGER.
