The many friends throughout the
county of Mrs. Zadok p. Wharton, of
Stockton, have learned with grief of her
critical illness at the George Washing
ton Hospital Several weeks ago, as
stated in these columns, Mrs. Wharton
underwent surgical operation which
was considered successful and she was
believed by her family and friends to be
on the road to recovery. Mrs. Wharton
had left the hospital and had gone to
College Park to visit her daughter, Mrs.
C. S. Richardson, when she again be-
came very i'll and returned to the hospi-
tai. Her husband and children are
with her and her Snow Hill friends
share in their anxiety.
Mr.. John l.. Mock. who has been
Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court for
Worcester County for several years, has
resigned that Office to become the mana
ger of the Luray Manufacturing Co. of
this town. Mr.. Mock mas been model
deputy clerk, having conducted his Of
flee in a manner which has met the
approval of the public. The members
of the bar who transact business daily
with the Clerk S Office are especially re-
gretful of Mr.. Mock resignation. The
Luray Manufacturing Company is en-
gagged in the manufacture of raw hide
whips, has large factory in Snow Hill,
which is one of the very few industries
of the kind in the United States, and is
owned by Messrs. Alexander d.
Irwin and Brother. Mr.. Alexander ID.
Irwin. who is the father-in-law of Mr..
Mock, desires to retire from the active
management of the business and he has
induced Mr.. Mock to take hold of it.
John is hustler. is painstaking and
prompt, and we believe the Luray
Manufacturing Co. has made a wise
selection.
