Democratic messenger., 1910-09-03

Everything has increased in price
except the price of the MESSENGER.
Remember that our terms are one dollar
year in advance. If you have not paid
for your paper yet this year it should be
attended to. Every man ought to be
able to take and pay for his county
paper. The man who does not do so is
a back number.
The Baltimore News is a Republi-
can paper. AS such it has surprised the
people of the State by strongly com
mending the denomination of Congress
man ]. Harry Covington. It recon-
mends the Independents to vote for Mr..
Covington at the coming election. He
certainly has made friends everywhere.
and the people are convinced that in him
they have an able and earnest advocate.
MIR. and Mrs. Marion 7. Hargis
have taken cottage at Ocean City for
the first two weeks in September, dur
ing which time succession of guests
will be entertained by their daughters,
Misses Nora, Wilson and Carolyn Har-
gis. Among the invited guests from
distance are tho following: Miss Kath-
crime Hodge, Of Kentucky; Miss Marie
Hazen, of Tennessee; Miss Elizabeth
Brown, of Centreville; and Misses Eta
Goldsborough and Mary Henry. of Cam
bridge.
-Messrs. Calvin B. Taylor. William
r. Purnell, Frank Bartlett. Ernest Bur
bage, William N. Burbage. and DIR. Jno.
w. Pitts have recently purchased the
Capt. Hudson property at North Beach.
The large house will be fitted up by
these gentlemen, each one furnishing
his own suite of rooms. North Beach
is an ideal spot for hunting and fishing,
and we have no doubt but that the gen.
tlemen interested will realize many
times the worth of their investment in
pleasure and enjoyment.
In the civil service examination for

The many friends in Worcester
County of Rev. and Mrs. +. II. Miller
will be sorry to learn of Mrs. Miller
death at her home in Sharptown. She
died on Sunday of typhoid fever. She
leaves two children also i'll with the
fever. Mrs. Miller was Miss BERTHE
C. Caulk. She taught school on 'Chinco-
league Island seven years before her
marriage to Mr.. Miller. They spent
several years IN this section, Mr.. Miller
being stationed at Newark and other
places in this county. He is now re-

Two Delaware officers were in Snow
Hill last Monday looking for John
Manuel and fellow named Guy, who
are charged with being implicated in
the larceny of $500 in Wilmington.
Lemuel Blake, formerly of this county,
is also charged with the crime and he
was caught and placed in prison. 1t was
then he peached on Manuel and Guy.
He said that they took the money with
the intention of taking it to Snow Hill
for the purpose Of using It in the de-
fense of David Blake, in Jail here for
the murder Of Jim Ed. Purnell several
weeks ago. Lem Blake's story was that
Manuel and Guy had shipped out of Will
mington and had gone to Baltimore and
from there were TO take the steamer for
Snow Hill, believing that by taking this
round about way they would escape de-
lection. They were not on the steamer
when she arrived here last Wednesday
afternoon. All of the parties are color
ed men.
