The desire for drink on Chincoteague

three men last Saturday and the serious

Chincoteague Island was it as dry as it
was during and since the recent freeze.
when the island was shut off from the
rest Of the world by seven miles Of ice
on the Sinepuxent Bay. What drinka-
bes of an alcoholic nature were on the
island were exhausted long before the
embargo lifted. The thirst that was de-
veloped at that time has not been

that the connection. that killed him and
his companions was compounded in his
barber shop. One who has tasted the
compound says it was composed of bay
rum. balsam and wood alcohol. and at
one time an infusion Of red oak wood
was added to give il desired color. One
man owes his life TO the sudden ill.,
ness Of the others. They were taken

tonsorial drink. His illness was
more gradual. and was proceeded by a

Resolutions Of Sympathy and
Coincidence.

To the memory of X. c. Lewis. who
departed this life March 9th, 1912. Mr.
Lewis came to this town only few
months ago to build the NJ. Z. Church,
and during the time he has been with
US. we know of no stranger who has
obtained the respect and confidence OF
the entire community TO the extent that
he did. He was a member Of the NJ. T.
Church of Snow Hill. and when he came
here he enrolled himself with the
Church of his choice, and during his
short stay and our acquaintance with
him, we as fellow members, not only
learned to respect and admire him, but
more than that, we learned to love him.
So we sorrow at the loss. His upright
walk and chaste conversation stamped
him as Christian. The community has
lost manly man His wife and child.
rem have lost husband, companion and
father, and we the members OF the
Methodist Protestant Church, of Mil
ford Del. feel our loss. and mutually
sorrow with his bereaved companion and
children in their deep aflliction. We
hereby heartily tender our sympathy
and coincidence to them in their sadness.

TO be with us in trouble and deliver us
and bring US to the Celestial city.

The negro said he thought. when the
vessel struck, that all hands would surely
be drowned and he changed his wet gar
ments for his best clothes, the ones he
was keeping to be buried in. He was
the only one of the crew who was dry
