Mr.. Edward l. Blaine
Down TolUn This Week

The many friends of Mr.. Edward
l. Blaine were glad to see him down
town again this week. Mr.. Blaine, it
will be remembered, has been confined
10 his home on Market street for sew
elal weeks by reason of sickness. His
trouble was little stubborn, and be-
cause of this fact his illness was
somewhat tedious. For some days he
had been able to move about his home
but on Tuesday last, for the first
time, he ventured down town. He re-
ceived cordial greeting at the hands
Gf his many friends and all were
greatly pleased to see him looking so
we'll after his several weeks illness,
He is member of one of the largest
and most substantial firms of our
town and our people generally will be
glad to see him back at his accustom-
ed post in the business world. But
take our advice, good friend, slack w
little and "make haste slowly"

HORSES and MULES
VICTIMS OF DISEASE
Many Losses In This Section.---Cause
Of Death Thought To Be
Spinal Meningitis.

We notice from our Eastern Shore
# Virginia exchanges that many Of
their farmers have been losing their
horses and mules of late and that the
disease, as diagnosed by veterinarians
is said to be Spinal Meningitis, which
is caused by foliage poisoning from
dry feed or pasture. This it is
hought is due to the extremely dry
weather which has been experienced
curing the summer.
We are sorry to state that the same
condition exists in our county and to
very large degree in our Immediate
neighborhood. For several weeks the
same plague has been playing havoc
with our farmers and many of them
have experienced heavy losses-some
cf them losing as many as two and
three horses and mules. We hava
heard of a number of cases but can
not at this time just recall them all.
These we do remember, however: Mrs.
Laura Colona, of Pitts Creek has lost
two mules and horse in the past two
cI three weeks. Mr.. Ira F. Holland
en- Sunday last lost q very valuabl,
mule. Mr.. White Tull, one horse; Mr..
Marion Merrill one horse; Mrs. Mary
Merrill, one horse, if not more.
And all of them seem to die of the
same cause and the conditions are
alarming to our farmers generally.
Some steps should be taken to in
vestigate matters and see if some
thing cannot be done to stop the
disease.

E. {. VanALSTYNE
DIES SUDDENLY
Victim Of Heart Trouble. Died AT
Accomack c. H., On Saturday
Morning Last.

Mr.. Clarence C. VanAlstyne, a ty-
lographer well known in this city,
died suddenly on Saturday morning
last at Accomack C. H., aged 81
years of heart trouble. Up to the
very moment of his death he had
been in the best of spirits and ap-
rarently his health was never bet

employed on the Peninsula Enter

Gay morning he went to his work
with his usual cheerful disposition.
About 8 o'clock he went to the lava

came to this section some years ago
in search of work at his trade. He
was employed both at the Worcester

Offices and he formed liking for our
town. Early last year he left this
city to take a position at Accomack
c. H.. but he always headquartered
here, coming to Pocomoke each and
every weekend. By this means many
of our people became attached to him
and the news of his sudden death was
received with much regret.
The Worcester Democrat and Ledg-
tr-Enterprise force, from the editor
down, were especially fond of "Van'

Be A BOOSTER
FOR THE GREAT
POCOMOKE FAIR
Everyone Should Pull Together And
Help Make The 1921 Meet
A Big Success
CITY'S BIGGEST ENTERPRISE
NEEDS SUPPORT OF ALL

Every Pocomoke City man, woman
and child should be booster for the
great Pocomoke Fair. 1t is one Of
the greatest enterprises that we have.
1t brings to Pocomoke City more peo.
pie annually than all other enter
rrises combined, and thousands cf
PERSONS cannot visit our town in four
Gays without all of our business en-
terprises being benefited. Because
this is true, every person who is in
terested in the welfare of the town
should do his and her best to make
the fair success.
AS we stated in our last issue the
management has gone to consider
able expense in fitting up their plant
end today it is the best plant of it's
size and character to be found in the
state. The new arrangement Of
things will add materially to the
comfort and convenience of the pa
irons as well as to those who use
the grounds for purely business pur-
poses.
From what We have learned of the
contemplated program the meet of
this year will be the very best that
the association has ever experienced
and we will have more to say about
the attractions, ETC., in our next issue.
We desire at this time to especiallY
call the attention of our people to the
exhibit department. 1t is hoped that
this department will be more liber-
ally patronized than heretofore. While
our people have been fairly liberal in
making exhibits it is hoped that they
will overstride their past record anc
Go even better this year. Liberal
premiums have been offered in all the
departments and there is no reason
Why the exhibits displayed should not
be doubled. The people of this sec
tion are a prosperous class and there
is not family but what could furn-
ish at least one exhibit, and thus add
materially to the success of the fair.
Try it this year and see how your eff
fort will be rewarded.
The dates of the Pocomoke Fair,
YOU will remember are August 18th.

A POCOMOKE BUILT
SCHOONER in BAD
Used In Illicit Liquor Traffic Is
Now In The Hands OF The
u. S. Authorities.

The schooner Pocomoke which was
recently built by Mr.. E. James Tull
If this city at his ship yard here,
las brought herself into prominence
end at the same time put Pocomoke
City on the map. 1t is evident from
all facts obtainable that she has for
some time been running whisky to
his country sailing, as she was, I'M
der the British flag. Last week she
is reported to have been disabled at
sea and by some means or other made
her way into Atlantic City, after
having disposed of her cargo of more
than 1000 cases of the precious eliXl2
outside of the three mile limit. Just
how she pulled off the "stunt" and
who got the "stuff" aboard, no one
.eems to know and we suppose never
will know. And with it all the poor
cid Pocomoke craft and her nervy
captain are still both in trouble. AS
she was tied to the dock at Atlantic
City her master. Captain J. A. Row
was ousted from the vessel on Mon
DAY last by Federal authorities. The
schooner was libeled by Deputy
United States Marshal Oarwitz OF
Jersey City on the ground that it
was unlawfully removed from Amerj-
can registry land that it violated ma
rine laws by leaving a foreign port
without obtaining bill of health.
Many of our people remember The
launching of the Pocomoke in this
city sometime since, but at the time
little did they think that she woulq
come into such prominence. Judgine
from the dryness of our town it is
safe to say that none of her carFf
ever found its way to the port Of ne,
birth.
