Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1912-01-20

| lin these days OF intense cold and
much snow, mans duty is first TO his
fellow-man. The poor are ever with us,
and their sufferings should receive the
first consideration Of the charitable. If.
however. you know no family that needs
coal or food remember your little friends
Of the air. the birds. The present pro-
tracted cold. coupled with the heavy
snow, which is frozen over in many
places is. killing them by the thousands.
Last Saturday night about seven
O'Clock the alarm Of fire was given.
Fortunately. it proved to be nothing
more than a chimney aiire in the house
on Washington Street, occupied by
Messrs. Edward J. Cooper and VIM.
Sturgis. 1t was intensely cold, but the
firemen responded quickly. and were at
the scene in few minutes with trucks.
hose and other apparatus, ready and
willing, if necessary, to fight the fire
fiend. On Tuesday morning. with the
temperature below twenty degrees. the
alarm again sounded. There was a
quick gathering of the firemen at the
City Hall building. where the freight
ing apparatus is kept, but before they
could leave, word was sent that their
services would not be needed. Too much
praise cannot be given the members Of
the Fire Department for the prompt
manner in which they respond to the
alarm of fire. No matter thow cold
or severe the weather, no matter how
buisly engaged in their own work they
NAV be. at the sound of the iire-whistle
they drop everything, and hurry to the
scene of the fire, there to take their
places and assist in the saving of prop
erty. Something Of material benefit
should be given them by the citizens of
Snow Hill to show their appreciation of
such services.
The annual meeting of stockhold-
ers of the Indiantown Telephone Com
pany was held on January Bird at the
residence of Mr.. John II. Truitt. About
year ago this company absorbed sew
eral private telephones that had been in
operation some time. and the service
was extended to Wilton and Queponco.
Mr.. John II. Truitt is president of the
company. and Mr.. Montgomery Stage
is secretary and treasurer. The board
of directors consists of the following /:
John II. Truitt, w. X. Truitt. NJ. Stagg,
S. E. Shockley. Elmer Godfrey. Roy
Gordy and Archer c. Holloway. At the
meeting there was a strong disposition
manifested to reward the secretary and
treasurer for his valuable services. as
most of the active work of the company
has devolved on him. Accordingly, Mr..
Stage was asked to retire from the room.
and, after some discussion, Mr.. John II.
Truitt was named a committee of one to
select suitable testimonial to present
to Mr.. Stagg. On the following Tues
day Mr.. Truitt accompanied MIR. Stage
to Mr.. Vincent's jewelry store in Snow
Hill, and presented him with a hand
some gold watch and fob. Mr.. Stage
feels very grateful to the directors for
the splendid gift, and wishes to express
his thanks and appreciation through The
Messenger. He says he was so excited
that drops of sweat rolled down his
face and hands, while he was waiting
the Star Chamber" deliberations of
the directors.

Mr.. w. J. Estridge started out
yesterday afternoon with his wife
and child for ride in the Lakeland
Steam Laundry automobile, and when
turning the corner near their home,
sustained an accident, which, though
not serious, was quite painful. A
stick of timber about four feet long
was in the roadway, and in trying
to run over it the machine struck
one end of the timber, with the re-
suit that the other end caught in
the opposite wheel The machine was
moving, and with both wheels caught
