On the third page of today's Mes
sENGER will be found the County Levy
List for 1909. If you will look over the
amount of money paid out for Court
expenses you will soon realize how much
lower taxes would be if people did not
do SO much Counting. The amount of
money paid out to jurors and witnesses
at the term of Court last Fall was some
thing enormous. The item of caring
for the insane has increased largely,
and it is evident from careful perusal of
the levy that the Commissioners have
managed well and carefully.
We are in receipt of the annual
catalogue of the great Pocomoke fair
for 1909. The fair will be held this
year on August 10th, 18th, 18th and
18th. Mr.. Samuel ]. Twilley is the
president; Mr.. William S. Schoolfeld,
vice. president; Mr.. William F. King,
secretary and treasurer; Mr.. George S.
Turner. assistant secretary. The
premium list is very complete; the at
fractions will be greater than ever. and
the racing is expected to be faster than
any year yet. The announcement will
appear in the MESSENGER before the
fair comes off.
1t is the custom of most newspapers
to charge for notices of festivals and
entertainments, but the MESSENGER has
heretofore been most liberal in its dona-
ton of space, and in many cases its
generosity has been imposed upon.
Hereafter the MESSENGER is willing to
state that church or school willgive a
festival at a certain time and place.
For this we will make no charge,
but if we are required to GO into the
details of the things that are to be sold
and done at festival, regular advertis-
ing rates will be charged for such
notice.
Great preparations are being made
for the opening of Red Hills this season.
Messrs. Dennis and Smith, who run an
amusement place on Chincoteague Is
land. have leased Red Hills, and judging
from their advertisement which appears
on the editorial page of this paper today.
they propose to give the people great
many attractions at Red Hills which
they have never heretofore enjoyed.
They will have merry-go-rounds, moving
pictures, vaudeville show, new bath
houses. motor boats, rigs for fishing,
a restaurant and refreshment booth.
and Sunday-schools are invited to picnic
at Red Hills. No intoxicants will be
tolerated on the grounds. On August
first, Rev. E. T. Liddell will conduct a
three weeks camp meeting in the forest
at Red Hills. He will have with him a
string band and sacred concerts will be
held there every Sunday. Red Hills is
certainly going to have many more at
fractions this year than ever before.
