Mr.. John w. Ennis
ArriUed Home Sunday

Mr.. John w. Ennis, cashier of the
Pocomoke City National Bank, who
early last week had his tonsils re-
moved at the Union Protestant In
Urinary in Baltimore, arrived home
on Sunday afternoon last and is i'm
proving all the while, we are glad to
state. His experience was a very ex-
citing one and from reports was seri-
GUS in the extreme. The operation it.
self was successful but it was
from the effects of the anesthetic that
he suffered. 1t was sometime before
he was restored to consciousness and
at one time his life was almost des-
paired of. After all kinds of scien-
tific treatment, some of which was
very rigid, he rounded to and resum-
cd normal condition. The best of
medical attention and nursing soon
had him on the road to recovery and
he was able TO leave the institution on
Sunday. Our people were greatly
alarmed at the seriousness of his
condition and they are equally glad to
know that he is now fast regainina
his accustomed strength.

Contractor Completes
Work On Sixth Street

Mr.. J. K. Wetter, the contractor
who had the construction of Sixth
street in hand, has completed the job
and the thoroughfare now presents a
most pleasing appearance. The con-
crete was all done the latter part of
last week and this week he has beer
finishing the filling in and putting on
the finishing touches generally. He
has surely made a good job of it and
the State Roads Commission will not
be sorry that the contract was left to
his care. The street is still closed to
traffic but according to the usage in
the construction of such highways it
will undoubtedly be opened to public
use sometime the early part of the
coming week. This now closes the
gap between Pocomoke City and the
county seat; now let's have the gap
between Pocomoke ana Stockton clos
ed and that very speedily. It has
been in its present condition long
enough to claim priority over any
other piece of roadway in the coun-
ty when road building is to be consid-
cred.

Meanderings OF A
Mildly Militant Mind
JEWELS OR JAVELINS?
Words are mschievous.
Words are mighty.

Words are mighty.
1t is the part of wisdom and of JUS
tice to weigh them we'll.
Too much care can not be exercised
in the use of them.
Too little judgement is used in the
acceptance of them.
Thoughtlessly, misleading state
ments are accepted, and, thoughtless-
ly again, passed on.
By the infection of the voice words
stating an absolute truth may be
n1ade to lie.
Falsehood is despicable.
No one loves liar.
He who carelessly twists the truth
is not entitled to respect.
And he who deliberately does so is
to be Stunned.
Both give wings to error.
And who can calculate the harm
which follows in the wake of false
hood?
Words seem such little things!
Yet life is written in words as well
as deeds.
They make; they mar; they bless;
they curse.
They may be jewels or javelins.
You may string them on threads of
golden truth, letting their light lift
the shadows from mans way, or make
of them instruments of death to stab
him to the heart.
Words, just words. may send soul
to the heights of heaven or to the
depths of hell.
They are Gods special gift to man.
To toy with a privilege of power is
dangerous.
To deny that the use of words is
such a privilege is folly:
The part Of wisdom is to weigh
words well:
Justice holds the balance.
Nemesis knows no favorites.
Our words, like our deeds, are the
arbiters of our destiny.
What are yours doing?
Are they cheering, comforting, en-
couraging, helping and inspiring?
Are they kind clean, courteous
merciful, charitable and true?
Are they spreading sunshine, scat
tering bits of worthwhile knowledge
creating innocent laughter, making
this old world better and brighter
happier place for all?
Or are you recklessly sowing to the
wind words whose harvest can be but
destruction, despondency, despair ano
death?
Jewels or javelins, sunshine OF
shadow, felicity or friction, gayety OF
grief, words may make them all.
What are yours doing?
Will the reaping be wealth OF
blessedness or a whirlwind of re-
morse?
The choice is yours.
Make it with care.
