brilliant one, and the house was
beautifully decorated for the occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Disharoon were the re-
cipients of many silver favors from

The Official Board of Bates Me-
mortal Methodist Protestant Church of
Snow Hill has extended an invitation to
to their pastor, Rev. l.. A. Bennett, to
continue the pleasant relations now ex-
listing between them. Mr.. Bennett has
been very successful in his pastorate of
this church. When he came here, there
was an Indebtedness of $500 and he
has raised about $40, 900, wiping out the
debt and interest besides paying for i'm
provements costing about 81, 900. Many
have professed convention under his
preaching and many new names have
been added to the church roll. Mr..
Bennett has recently been relieved of
the charge Of Nassawango Church and
the Pocomoke City minister will preach
there in future, thus giving Mr.. Ben
nett more time to devote tohis work in
Snow Hill and at Trinity.
1T is not many years ago when our
farmers considered the egg business
beneath their serious consideration, and
the women and children were accorded
the privilege of gathering up the eggs
on the farm and using the money for
themselves. Such is not the condition
today, as the egg business is now a
very important feature of farming,
being a sure source of revenue and is
being conducted on large scale. AS
an evidence of its Importance to Snow
Hill, we need only to cite the fact that
j. S. Price & Co. shipped sixty thous-
and, one hundred and twenty eggs in
thirty days, and received therefor the
,f CfQEE nf
twenty-seven cents dozen. At least
$5000.00 worth of eggs were shipped
from Snow Hill last month.
