MIR. SAMUEL HOLLAND
ON OUR STREETS AGAIN
Has So Far Improved As To Be
Able To Move About With
His Friends

Our people were glad on Monday
last to see Mi. Samuel S. Holland o.;
cur streets. 1t will be remembered
that some weeks ago Mr.. Holland
was seriously hurt in a fall from a
kouse roof while at work at his trade
He was carried home in critical con-
dltlon and for some weeks it Locked
as though his life was in the balance.
Possessed, as he must surely have
been, with strong constitution, to-
gether with good medical attention
and excellent nursing, he -veathered
the storm and from all appearances
is now completely out of danger. To
be sure lc is still weak from the eff
fects Of his illness and it will be some
time before he regains his former
strength. However. his appearance on
cur streets was a source much pleas
ure 70 our community generally
where he Is so highly honOred anu
generally beloved. All of us are hop
ing that it will not be long before he
will be able to take his accustomed
place in The business activities of oul
town.

A Well KrotUn Somerset
Man Died Last Week

We have read with much regret of
the death of Mr.. Thomas Pratt Pusey
which occurred last week at his home
near Princess Anne. Mr.. Pusey was
rs years of age, had been in poor
health for some time and his death
was caused by Bright's disease. He is
survived by his wife, who before her
marriage was Miss Eugene McAllen.
The funeral occurred at Friendship
M. P. Church, conducted by his form
er pastor, Rev. Mr.. George, of Laurel
Delaware.
We have the most pleasant recollec-
tions of Mr.. Pusey, when our iyoune
manhood days we were associated
with him SO frequently, and with h's
many other friends. we were deeply
grieved at his passing.
Mr.. 7. Pratt McAllen, of our city
is a nephew of Mrs. Pusey, and most
of his early life was spent with these
good people at their country home
near the good old town of Princess
Anne,

DEAD SOLDIERS BODY
ARRIVES AT HOBOKEN
The Remains OF Private Clinton {.
Bundick Are Now On United
States Soil.

Mr.. E. L. Bundick, of Cokesbury,
has received a telegram stating that
the remains of his son, Private Clin-
ton C. Bundick, had arrived at Hobo
ken and that they would be forwarded
to him az this city. One message was
evidently sent from sea by the master
of the transport which was conveying
the body to America. The ship was
due to dock on Saturday last and Mr..
Bundick is expecting the body to ar
rive at any time now. The transport
had on board several thousand bodies
and it will of course take several days
to get them to their proper destina-
tions.
When the remains arrive in POGO
moke they will be taken to his late
home in Somerset county and remain
the overnight. The next day they will
be taken to Modestown, Va, and in
tered in the family burial lot beside
the remain; of his devoted mother
who has died since he went overseas.
Private Bundick was not killed in
battle but died of natural causes.
Shortly after his arrival overseas he
was stricken with pneumonia. He
was at once taken to one of the army
hospitals and after a strong fight for
recovery he finally died.
He was a young man who was
much thought of in this town and the
community in which he lived, and the
news of his death came as shock
both to his family and friends.
Having died in hospital and been
buried by the officers of that institu-
ton there could not possibly have
been a mistake in the identity of his
grave, and The good father finds much
comfort in the fact Of knowing that
he really has the remains of his own
son, fact that is not always known
by those whose relatives died on the
battle fields.
While Mr.. BundicK is of course
grieved at the loss of his son, still he
is proud to have his remains and in
his trying hour he has the sympathy
of his many friends throughout this
section.

DEL-MAR-VIA EDITORS
MEET in SALISBURY
Held Interesting Session Monday.
Governors Ritchie And Denny
Were Present.

The Del Mar-Via Editorial Asso-
citation met in Salisbury on Monday
last and continued in session over
Tuesday. The association has large
membership, including as it does, the
State of Delaware and the Eastern
Shore counties of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. Most of the papers in the ter
ritory were represented and there
were number of outside visitors also
in attendance.
The association was honored with
the presence of both Governor Ritchie
of Maryland, and Governor Denney,
of Delaware, both of whom made in
teresting talks. One of the most
pleasing events of the gathering was
the banquet given by the Salisbury
Chamber of Commerce in the PENN
sula Hotel Restaurant Monday night
in honor of the association. 1t is said
to have been one of the finest affairs
of the kind ever given in that city.
Mr.. Fred Adkins, president of the
Chamber of Commerce delivered the
address of welcome and several other
interesting after dinner speeches were
made.
The editors arrived in Salisbury on
Monday afternoon and scarcely had
they arrived before the entertainment
committee had them in charge. They
were conducted on a sightseeing trip
to different points of interest in the
town through the courtesy of the To-
cal Rotary Club, and it was continued
until the final business meetings
were finished and wind-up luncheon
was held at noon Tuesday in the
Peninsula Hotel.
The meeting was very interesting
| one from start to finish and business
of importance was transacted. The
visitors were especially pleased with
the royal treatment they received al
the hands of the Salisbury people and
they all look forward with pleasure
when in the natural turn of things
they are again entertained by the
good people of Wicomico's metrop'
oils.

SCREEN DRAMA THAT
SHOULD PLEASE ALL
"Too Much Sameness" Cannot Be
Said Of Empire Program For
Next Week.

Here they are! Pick your nights!
The army of "movie goers" has be-
come so large that theatrical manag-
ers have found it necessary in making
up their weekly programs to choose
d different kind of picture for each
night, thus giving their patrons a
variety. And that is what manager
Bratten has done in selecting his
program for next week.
On Monday the perturbation OF
"The Money Changers will be the
attraction. This story is presented
by a cast of fourteen well known
screen stars and is adapted from the
novel by Upton Sinclair.
Bryant Washburn, the general
screen star. comes on Tuesday in his
latest success "Too Much johnson"
Funny? Well, it wouldn't be
Washburn picture if it wasn't.
"The Heart of Youth" with Harold
Goodwin in the leading role, will be
shown on Wednesday. This will be
Mr.. Goodwin's second appearance in
Pocomoke in Fox pictures. His first
was in "Oliver Twist, Jr.," which was
shown here few weeks ago and
caused much favorable comment from
screen lovers.
"Blackmail'', Metro special pro-
duction, starring adorable Viola Dana
comes as a feature attraction on
Thursday. Opinion in other cities
where this picture has been seen, pro-
nounces it as a wonderfully acted,
convincing bit of work. The story
is said to be a delightful mixture OF
adventure and romance that thrills
and charms from beginning to end.
One of the most powerful, stirring
and colorful phctodramas of the year
will be shown on Friday. 1t is
Hampton production, "The Killer" an
up-to-the- minute picture, which com
bines romance and color of the old
West with something that only the
modern age can give in the way of
realism and gripping suspense. 1t IS
adapted from the novel by Stewart
Edward White, with an all star cast,
including Frank Campeau and Claire
| Adams.
Our old favorite, William Russell
comes again Saturday, in a Fox
special entitled Colorado Pluck"
Judging ty the title it will be in
keeping with all of his pictures-full
of "pep", vim and fights.

CONTRACT AWARDED TO
BUILD SOMERSET ROAD
MIR. J. K. Wetter To Build Road
Connecting State Highway With
Pocomoke's New Bridge.

Last week the State Roads Com
mission opened the bids for the build
ing of the new state road connecting
the Westover- -Pocomoke road with
the new Pocomoke river bridge. We
understand that Mr.. ]. X. Wetter was
the lowest bidder on the work and
that the contract will go-to him. Mr..
Wetter has been working in this sec
ton this season, having recently conn-
pleted the Sixth street gap in this
city. His equipment is right here on
the scene and it is natural that he was
in a better position to do the work
than those at a more distant point.
The work he did on Sixth street was
of very satisfactory character, in
fact it is one of the best jobs ever
done in this section. And the beauty
of it is that he is swift of action.
We are reliably informed that wori;
on the road will be commenced as
soon as the filling in is finished. The
contractors on that portion of the
work are driving away as rapidly as
possible and it is sure thing that
il will be only few weeks at the best
before they have the bed ready for
the laying of concrete. We are sure
that when Mr.. Wetter once gets
started it will not take him many
weeks to turn the job over to the
proper authorities, ready for public
use. Everybody is looking forward
with much pleasure to the time when
it is completed.
