CHRISTMAS SERVICES
In OUR CHURCHES
Christmas Day Falling On Sunday
All Of The Churches OF The
Town Will Be Open

Tomorrow being Cristmas Day, all
the churches of the town will be open
and the festival will be appropriately
observed by each and every denomi-
nation. The pastors VII all preach
Christmas sermons and in some in
stances the Sunday Schools will have
special exercises at the evening SER
vice. 1t is safe to predict that all of
the churches will be well attended.
Naturally our people are church 60
ing people, and it is reasonable to
suppose that when Christmas falls OF
the Sabbath the congregations will bSs
extra large. The services will, we are
sure, be made as attractive as possi-
BILE. Choice Christmas anthems will
be rendered and the choirs will d.
their best to give the Christmas air to
the services. While it may be that
many of our people will be unable to
attend beth the morning and evening
service, we are sure that the one of
the evening will be largely attended
and that much good will result from
the days worship.

to this city some years ago from

the mine prop and lumber business
and had considerable interests in this

d large business not only with the
people of this immediate section but
with the people on the entire lower
peninsula.H Having gotten clear of most
of his business interests here he has
decided to locate in Wilmington,
where he will be nearer the centre of
other business transactions in which
he is engaged.
Mr.. Armstrong, during his stay
here, made many warm friends. He
is one of the most likeable gentleman
that ever lived in our town and was a
money maker. Our people generally
were sorry to know that his interest;
called him to other quarters, and
wish for him success in his new home
Not only will Mr.. Armstrong be
missed by a long list of admiring
friends, but his family as well will be
greatly missed. His estimable help
mate and their charming daughters
have hosts Of friends here and they,
too, take with them the best wishes
of our people.

This Is A Good One

While Northampton county officers
were searching around Capeville this
week for Ollie Ward, suspected OF the
murder of a North Carolina farmer
some months ago, they uncarthed an
illicit still on the premises of John
Ives, a local colored preacher The
still was in full operation when the of
ficers arrived, and the colored
preacher was found proppad
up in his bed reading Bible prepara-
tory to preaching his Sunday ser.
mon. The still, with a quantity of
mash and liquor, was confiscated ami
Ives was taken to Eastville Jail. Ives
claims that the still was the property
of another inmate of the house, but
the question seems to be who was the
other inmate; he has not been found.

RITCHIE MAY DECIDE
SPEAKERSHIP OF HOUSE
Contest Now Being Waged May Re-
suit In A Forced Settlement
By The Governor.

The interesting feature of the
weeks politics has been the discus
sion of the speakership of the House,
and, while the outlook is for vigor-
GUS contest between the two leading
candidates, Mr.. Roberts of Prince
Georges, and Mr.. Lee, of Hartford.
the general belief seems to be that
Mr.. Roberts has the lead at the pres
ent time. In the end however, the
impression now prevails that Cover
nor Richie will be obliged to decide
the matter, although his Excellency
is anxious to avoid the responsibility
but the most influential leaders,
those from the Counties as we'll as
those from the City all say that as
this is Governor Ritchie's administra-
tion, he should select men to aid him
in his work, whose minds will be in
harmony with his, and who will assist
him in the execution of his plans. The
Governor is not in the habit of avoid
ing responsibilities when they are put
up, to him, he will act without hesita
that if the selection of a presiding
officer for the House, comes squarely
up, to him, he will act withou htesita-
ton, and at once accept the response
bility. The entire program for the
coming session has been mapped out
by the Governor and it's success or
failure is dependent on him, and he
will not allow anything to prevent
the accomplishment of this program,
That he will gain all his points is the
confident belief of all those whose
opinion is entitled to any weight
whatever. He has definite views on
all matters of affecting the welfare
of Maryland and Marylanders. These
views are not theoretical, but are
based on his two years experience as
Governor, his four experience as At
toney General, and his experience as
Peoples Counsel before the Public
Service Commission, where he became
thoroughly familiar with the interest
of the City people, in their connection
with the Public Utilities in all their
ramifications. No man in the-whole
history of Maryland ever had SO
great an actual experience in all fea-
lures of public affairs as the present
Governor. He has been in close and

COLD WAVE STRIKES
THE EASTERN SHORE
Mercury Stands AT The Twelve
Mark Thursday Morning. Cold
est Weather Of The Winter

The pleasant, springlike weather of
the early part of the week suddenly
changed on Wednesday night when
the wind hauled to the northwest and
some real winter weather was expert
enced. Our people were surprised
when they arose on Thursday morn
ing early to find their thermom-
eters registering around the twelve
mark. 1t is true nevertheless. Over
coats, sweaters, fur caps, winter un-
derwear, and such like, were all press
ed into service in order that comfort
might be maintained. Ice formed to
a considerable thickness and the en-
tire earth presented a real winter ap-
pearance.
Coming, as it did so Unexpectedly
it was a shock to our people. They
rad been enjoying exceptionally fine
weather and imagine their surprise
when on Thursday morning plumbers
had to be sent for in order to thaw
out water pipes. But then "life is
just one thing after another" and
we are not to grumble at such little
occurrences. 1t is time for winter you
know, and if the ground should be
covered with a few inches Of snow be-
fore the rising of tomorrow's sun ii
would give the earth a much more
Christmas-like appearance.

The College Students
Home For Holidays

Many, and in fact most, of the col
lege students are home with their par
ents to spend the Christmas holidays.
More will arrive today and before the
morrow all who expect to come will
be in our midst. In addition to these
there are a number of other visitors
who will spend the holidays with us.
We made an effort to get all of their
names but failed to do SO. and rather
than publish a partial list we omit all
of their names. The Worcester Dem
ocrat hopes that each and everyone of
them will enjoy this festive season
and that theirs may be very Merry
Christmas,

POCOMOKE STORES
LARGELY PATRONIZED
Their Counters Thronged this Week
With Customers From All Sec
tions OF Peninsula

Our merchants are all wearing
pleasing countenances. the result of
the large holiday trade they have en-
joyed, and especially that which has
found it's way to their counters dur
ing the past week. The weather for
the most of the time was very favor
able and this caused many of the
country folks to come in and do Their
holiday shopping. Not only so, but
many from a distance also made this
their shopping centre and came for
miles in order to deal with our mer-
chants. To be sure the season was
not as good as that of few years
past; this was natural, for there is a
lack of money just at this time. How
ever, the business done far exceeded
what was expected and our busines
men have no reason whatever to COM
plain.
For years Pocomoke City has had
the reputation of being one of the
best shopping centres in the State
OUTSIDE of the large cities. Our mer-
chants are of the wide-awake kind and
they never fail to give to the public
the very best that the market affords
And their stocks are varied so that al
classes of customers can be properly
suited. And che best of all is that
their prices are always as low as car
be found anywhere,
