" WEDDING BELLS RING FOR SIX
YOUNG COUPLES THIS WEEK
More Improvements Made
Around The NelU Bridge

During the past week the town au-
thorities have built concrete apron
on either side Of the State Highway
leading to the new Pocomoke River
bridge at the foot of Market Street.
This is not only an Improvement but
i was necessity at this particular
point. 1t makes the approach to the
bridge much easier and at the same
time adds much to the appearance Of
things in general in that section CT
the town. The pity is that they did
not have the money to keep the i'm
prcvements on to the river front on
both sides Of the highway. However,
We are sure that this improvement
will be made at some future date.

POLITICAL POINTERS

The peoples party agitators have
called in most of their propaganda as
TO the apathy on the part of certain
democrats toward the Worcester
County democratic ticket. They see
now that the party is cementing itself
in one grand effort to defeat the enc
my and they, the peoples party
folks, have their hands full to keep
their own flock in shape.
The people have tired of all of this
''rot" about the peoples party being
composed of all the good people of
the county, and that all of the dem
ocrats are robbers, thieves, etc. The
fact is that the democratic party ir
this county has the very best mot all
Of them of course) people enrolled
under its banner. Its percentage of
white voters, both male and female, is
much greater than that of the peoples
party and it stands to reason that it
must necessarily have more of the
Test people with it. The best thing
for the people to do is to enquire into
! the character Of some of the fellows
who are making such accusations,
Unfold the true facts about them and
see if they will stand the test they
would have others stand. Enquire in
to their business life, their political
life, their domestic life, and see how
much out of line the plumb bob will
register. "Let him that is without sin
cast the first stone"
There are some folks-not inten-
tionally we are inclined to believe
who have made wrong impressions as
to certain votes cast by the editor of
this paper when he was a member of
he 1920 session of the Maryland Leg
islature. Really friends this is not
crly unkind. but it is unfair. If you
do not know what the issues were and
will come to us We will go over them
with you and frankly tell you how We
voted on all questions. If this will
not do we will refer you to the House
Journal for reference. No one evel
knew us to dodge a vote or to run af.
ter casting one. Don't misquote us
it's unfair, it's unjust. Come to US
and get the facts and then go tell il
to your friends. Tell them the truth
If it hurts us we will try to stand it
if it does US good we will all fee
better. But by all means have tht
facts before you start on your circu
lating MISSION.

Another week has passed and the
Democratic candidates find that they
ere growing in favor all the while.
Mr.. Gordy the candidate for State
Comptroller, is still waging an ag-
gressive campaign and he is making
inroads on his republican opponent,
Mr.. Metzerott, in all parts of the
State. Even in republican stroDgholds
he has met with much favor and un-
less the signs Of the times fail, he
will get majorities in a number of
sections of the state that heretofore
have gone for republican candidates.
He is popular with all classes, and as
mixer and vote getter he has few
eEqals.
Senator Orlando Harrison keeps
right at it all the while. Anyone who
knows the Senator knows that he is
hard campaigner. He never leaves
matter half-done. There are few
men who work harder for the party
interest than Senator Harrison. While
he is campaigning for himself he also
campaigns for his colleagues on the
ticket and never fails to put in good
work for each and every candidate
He realizes that the ticket is one OF
the strongest and best the party has
ever named and he is making a fight
for each and every man on it.
The peoples party folks in this
section are trying to get some of our
democrats to vote for Messrs
Bounds and Gordy for county COM
missioners, but very few are being
caught with this kind of bait. Re
member, democrats, that such an ac-
ton works to the disadvantage OF
both Mr.. Bounds and DIR. Dickerson
the other democratic candidate. The
democratic party has given you excel
| lent candidates in MIR. j. Windsor
Bounds and DR.. John d. Dickerson
and there is no reason in the Wild
world why you should not support
them both. Mr.. Gordy is not super.
icr to either of these gentlemen from
any viewpoint and there is no reasor
for a democrat going away from
home to find candidate when he has
the very best the county can afforC
right on. his own ticket. Republican:
won't do such thing, why should
democrat do it? Vote the straigh
ticket, it's Al from top to bottom,

P. H. S. BOYS WIN
FIRST SOCCER CAME
Defeat Crislieid Team In Practice
Game Here Last Friday BY
| To 0 Score.

Soccer Ball at the new Base Ball
Park, Linden avenue on Friday, Oc-
tCbcr 14th-in a game between the
High schools of Crisfeld and POGO
n Ike City. There was goodly siz-
cd crowd present, including many la
dies, quite a number of them came
from Crisfeld, and other parts of
Somerset county anxious to see what
their favorites could do with the last
years Eastern Shore champions.
The day was fine and the new
grounds in good condition for the
game, which was a success in all par
t.culars-the only goal being scored
! by Pocomoke in the beginning of the
first half-several close and hard
fought attempts were made by each
SIDE during the game, but gameness
md skillful work on part of those de-
Tending the goals thWarted the fur
ious attacks; and although Crisfield
had the advantage in weight, it was
unable to make successful headway
against the lighter line Of their adver-
sary-and after two we'll contested
halves the game went to Pocomoke by
the score of l to O, much to the de-
light of Miss Dix and her screaming
chorus of High school fans.
Whilst the general play of both
teams was excellent, the all round
play of the locals was clearly super
ior to that of the visitors-specially
so in offensive work Great credit j.
and should be given to Mr.. C. A.
Y hitman for the untiring interest
shown by him. in working with, and
preparing the Pocomoke lads for ac-
ton, and what success they have had
will have will be largely due to his
work of preparation and instruction.
The game ON Friday which was o
preparatory one began with the Po-
comoke team kicking off, during the
early stage of which Sherwood R. for
' ard by pass, shot for a goal, and
lick was with him for it passed thru
the posts too high for the reach of the
goal keepers, and proved to be a
winner.
We were unable to get the names of
the Crisfeld team. The following
