WILL PRINT NAMES
OF DRAFT EVADERS
Government Will Give Out Lists For
Publication In Home Town
Papers.

We do not know whether there are
any draft evadcrs in Worcester coun
ty; but if there are, their names will
soon be sent out by the Government
in lists published in home town pa
rors.
At least that is the informatio l
Which comes from Washington, in the
following dispatch: 9
Draft deserters whose fears have
heen lulled to rest hy more than two
years Of security from prosecution
are about to receive an unpleasant
surprise, for the names of 1891 of
trcm are shortly to be published in
their "home town" sections as a pre-
liminary step to bringing them to a
speedy trial.
This step is expected to aid mater
ely in apprehending offenders as it
is believed that most persons know
irg the whereabouts of draft deser
ter will be only to willing to volun-
teer the information.
The Department announcement
defines "wilful draft deserters" as
men who registered under the pro-
visions of the selective service law
but failed to report for military duty
& the time and place specified. I'm
uc1 the law they are held to have
been inducted into service from the
Gate on which they were ordered to
report and since they have never
been discharged, are still under mill
tary jurisdiction and liable to trial by
general court-martial for desertion.' >

IMPORTANT MEETING
FOR MONDAY NIGHT
Called To Consider Matters Of Vital
Importance To The Taxpayers
OF Our Town.

Mayor E. James Tull, by an adver-
tisement in this issue and by hand
bills to be distributed later, is calling
a meeting of the citizens of the town
to be held in the Municipal Building
at o'clock Monday evening, Janu-
ary 10th. We understand that the
question to be discussed is the con-
struction of the gap of state highway
leading out Sixth street to the Snow
Hill road. 1t seems that the State
Board of Health has held the contrac
tor up on this work and insists that
q complete sewerage system must be
installed by the town before the work
can be completed.
This places the town in a very bad
position. Financially we are not, at
the present time, able to undertake
the building of a sewer in that or any
other section of the town. And even
if we were, there are other sections
that need attention far more than the
Sixth street section. 1t is evident that
it will be some years before the prop
erty along this thoroughfare is i'm
proved to the extent of needing a
sewerage system and it does seem un-
reasonable for the authorities to
spend several thousand dollars in inn
proving this section when there are
SO many other sections already i'm
proved that are clamoring for both
sewarage and water.
The condition is one for serious
thought and it is for the purpose of
giving the taxpayers of the town a
chance to express themselves in the
premise that the Mayor and Council
have called this public meeting.
We impress upon our taxpayers the
necessity of being present. 1t may be
that by exchanging views method
may be worked out by which the town
may be saved from this unnecessary
expense at this time. The Board of
Health has spoken in no uncertain
tone, but it may be that if the matter
is put properly before them they will
change their ruling. Be sure to at
tend the meeting on Monday evening
and help the authorities to solve this
problem.

MR.. B. E. BONNEVILLE
PAINFULLY INJURED
Falls From House Top, Breaks His
Leg And Is Otherwise Bruised
And Mangled.

Mr.. Benjamin E. Bonneville, one of
our best known carpenters, had the
misfortune on Friday of Christmas
week to meet with a painful and
Sc: ious mishap. He was engaged at
working at his tradea on farm near
Cross Roads, four and onehalf miles
from this city, and fell from a stage
to the ground, a distance of some
feet, and in the fall had the misfor-
tune to break one of his legs above
the knee joint. He was otherwise
bruised and mangled and was hurried
TO this city for medical attention. His
suffering was intense and his local
physician advised hospital treatmen
al once. He was taken to Girls
field to the Marine Hospital and the
fracture was reduced and the patient
otherwise properly cared for. At last
reports he was doing as nicely as
could be expected under the circum-
stances and while his hospital expert
ence may be a little tedious because
of his advanced years, still his physi-
clans think they will be able to send
him home a well man.
Mr.. Bonneville is one of our most
respected citizens. He is well advanc-
ed in years and was Industrious to the
a
er than to rust out. He is held in the
highest regard by our entire COM
munity, where most of his life has
been spent, and the news of his mis-
hap was received with universal re-
gret. Our people will join US in ex-
pressing the hope that he will soon bc
restored to his family and the COM
munity an entirely we'll man.

Postal Company Abandons
Their Ub-Town Office

In the future if you want to send
a telegram by the Postal Telegraph
Company you will either have to go
to the passenger depot or call that of
fee up by phone and deliver your
message to them. The company have
abandoned their uptown office and il
is now a thing of The past. All OF
the desks, wires and other parapher-
MALTA were moved out this week and
the transfer was made. This seems tc
be step backward, but the Postal is
big concern and we are certain they
know their business.

Attempted "Hold- Ups"
Must Be Stopped.

The frequent occurance of attempt
ed "hold ups" which are daily or ratl'-
cr nightly taking place in the vicinity
of Pocomoke and neighboring towns
is getting to be quite an annoyance
and is likely to result seriously unless
some definite action is taken to ap
prehend the offenders. One or more
were reported last week and the fact
has caused considerable indignation
among our citizens. Surely some steps
should be taken to put stop to this
serious menace To motorists.
