TWO BIG SPECIALS
COMING NEXT WEEK
"The Fox" And ''The Sheik" To
Feature Program AT The
Empire Theatre.

"The Fox" Harry Carey's first
Universal picture and which is the
first super-western ever screened, is
coming to the Empire Theatre next
Monday and Tuesday. Harry Carey
himself wrote "The Fox" 1t was
adapted to the screen by Lucien Hub
bard and filmed under the direction
of Robert Thornby. 1t will make mo-
ton picture history by it's dramatic
force, it's picturesque locale, it's inter-
esting cast and the fact that regular
United States cavalry was used to
furnish atmosphere.
Most of the story was filmed on
the Mojave desert, near Red Rock,
where a modern army camp was built
to quarter the big outfit necessary to
maintain production.
What promises to prove one of the
reigning sensations of the current
screen season, "The Sheik," a remark
able Paramount picture produced by
George Melford, will be shown at the
Empire Theatre next Thursday and
Friday nights. The photo-play is a
picturization of f. M. Hull's remark
;.ble novel of the Saharan desert
which is now numbered as one of the
best sellers in the literary market.
The role of the Arabian Nribal
chieftan, Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan, is
portrayed by Rudolph Valentino, the
handsome young actor who sprung
into instant popularity by his work in
"The Four Horsemen of the Apocaly-
pse."

Banquet Ushers In
Holiday Festivities
CHRISTMAS OBSERVED
In POCOMOKE CITY
The Weather Was Disagreeable
But Cur Homes Were Filled
With Joy And Gladness

The joyousness of Christmas was
somewhat effected by the weather
that prevailed during the day. To the
surprise of all, rain was on the pro-
gram and it continued almost the en-.
during day. Notwithstanding this
fact Santa Claus made his usual
round on Saturday night and the
Christmas morn brought much joy
and gladness to the many homes of
cur town. Children were compelled
for the most part to remain indoors,
and it being Sunday this experience
was not so much out of place. The
usual exchanging of gifts was prac-
ticed and of course the curiosity of all
was satisfied before the time of go
ing to church arrived.
The churches, of course, were all
open but at the regular service hour
the weather was still very inclement
and the congregations were all very
small. The various ministers of the
town had anticipated large audiences
for the morning service and they, no
doubt, would have realized their an
ticipations had the weather been of a
different character, for ours are a
church-going people and especially do
they turn out in large numbers at
Christmas services. At the evening
hour of service the weather had bet
tered up little and the congrega-
tions were much larger.
The remainder of the week has been
given over to social functions of all
kinds. Our people have done a great
deal of visiting and neighbors have
experienced many pleasantries during
the holiday season. In addition to this
many parties. teas and Sunday School
entertainments have been held and
the town has had real Christmas ap-
pearance since the holiday began.
Numbers of visitors have been in our
midst and this has added to the pleas
ure of our people.
AS the new year approaches ou"
business men are Strengthening up
their business the best they can, get
ting things in readiness for the COM
ing years work, and things are get
ting back to normal again.

Next Wednesday
POCOMOKE LOSES
PROMINENT CITIZEN
MIR. c. S. Day Answers Call AT His
Home On Willow Street On
Friday, Dec, 23d.

Mr.. Charles S. Day, whose illness
was noted in our columns last week,
died at his home on Willow Street,
this city, on Friday evening of last
week in the 80th year of his age. A
week or more prior to his death he
was stricken with pneumonia and was
an ill man from the start. All that
medical skill and good nursing could
accomplish was done but he grew
gradually worse until death relieved
him of his suffering at the time men
toned.
Mr.. Day was one of our best known
and most highly respected citizens.
He had resided in our town fer num-
ber of years and his life was such
that made him friends by the hun
dreds. A few years ago he was ac--
lively engaged in the real estate busi-
ness and he settled many new fami-
lies in this and the adjoining coun-
ties. By reason of his advanced years
he was compelled of late to lead a
more retired life, but having a re-
markably strong constitution he kept
going all the while and up to his ill
ness that resulted in his death he was
almost daily seen on our streets look
ing after business matters.
In politics Mr.. Day was a republi-
can and during the Goldsborough ad-
ministration he held the position of
magistrate in this district. In this
capacity he proved himself to be very
efficient and his judgements generally
stood the test. He was impartial in
his verdicts and violators of the law
respected him because of his firmness
end strict adherence to the statutes OF
the State. In his passing our town
loses a good citizen.
He leaves a widow. who was Miss
Mary Matthews before her marriage,
and daughter by his first marriage,
who have the sympathy of our COM
munity.
Funeral services were held at his
late home on Monday afternoon last,
conducted by the Rev. E. L. Bunce,
and interment was made in the Bap-
tist cemetery near this city.

Has Rented The Byrd Farm,

Mr.. E. D. Waddy, of Chester Pa,
has rented the farm out Market Street
extended known as the C. E. Byrd
farm and will shortly move his FAM
lily there. Mr.. Waddy is an excellent
farmer and We are sure he will make
the farm look like a new place. Mr..
V addy and his wife are no strangers
to cur people. They resided in our
town for number of years and at
one time Mr.. Waddy was proprietor
of the Parker House. Our people will
join us in welcoming them back to
our town and wishing them abundant
success in their new venture.
