COUNTY NURSE WILL
RESPOND TO ALL CALLS
People Should Not Hesitate In Ask
ing Her Assistance In Case
Of Sickness.

1t is doubted if the people of Wor-
cester county fully realize the import
ance of the presence in their midst OF
the County Nurse, Miss j. Alice Will
son, and the benefits to be obtained
thereby.
Miss Wilson has declared that she
does not believe that the people real
ize her position here and her willing
ness to respond to all calls that may
come to her. A representative of the
American Red Cross, Miss Wilson S
Cuties consist in part in rendering as
sistance wherever a nurse may be
needed Nor should there be any
he hesitancy on the part of any one b.
cause of inability to pay. Miss Wilson
has informed us that the standard
charge for a nursing visit is fifty
cents but the person visited may pay
whatever they feel able and if unable
to pay anything, then the visit will be
nlduc JUST Iile SAME WllHOuI charge.
l. must be understood that whatever
moneys are paid for the nursing visits
go to the American Red Cross and III
view of the wonderful work that this
great body did during the late war
and is doing now to alleviate the suf-
ferings of mankind there should be
liberal contributions where the finan
cial condition of the person visited
permits.
Obtained from the Red Cross and
brought here after much difficulty
through the influence of the many
prominent persons interested in Red
Cross Work, the County Nurse is es-
tablised in her office in the Masonic
Temple, over the post office in Snow
Hill The office was donated rent free
and the furniture was obtained from
various sources through the kindness

WHISKEY ALLEGED TO
CAUSED NECRO'S DEATH
Isaiah Reid Said To Have Been
The Victim OF Boys Franks.
Dies In Salisbury.

Isaiah Reed, we'll known colored
character, died at the home of his
sister on Walnut street, Salisbury
Thursday morning, of last week, at
the age of "a. 1t is alleged that Reds
death was directly attributed to the
fact that some boys, the night before
loaded him up with corn whiskey
snuff and tobacco. Reid, who was
considered simple-minded, was often
teased and goaded by boys and Others
on the streets and it is supposed that
their fun this time went too far.
Reid has been a noted character in
Pocomoke City for many years. His
familiar jingle of the banjo, harp
mouth organ or anything else tha!
would make noise, with his dance anu
songs could be heard all seasons OF
the year. He preached and prayed on
occasions. He was the general butt
Of pranks and jokes and excited the
interest of strangers in the city who
looked upon him as an old and unusu-
al type of the colonial darky. He was
simple -minded-though many elaine,
he had more sense than he pretended
and good natured.
His end by the means alle9ed-i1
they be true-Will be received by this
community with the severest kind Of
condemnation. An investigation will
probably be made by the authorities
in order to establish the facts in the
case

An interesting float was one show

Then came the school children, hap
piest mortals of the day. They wore
costumes of varied colors, and emitted
all of the 95 per cent of noise, oil

them in line, and gave ample proof OF
the need of the handsome new school
house the Islanders are building.
The towns fire fighting apparatus
followed, and while not very extern

ance of being efficacious when needed.
The principal streets of the town
were paraded and then everybody
went to see the football game arrang-
ed between the Chincoteague and the
Onancock High School elevens. Oman
cock started off like winners, scoring
six points in the first quarter-the re-
suit could not be obtained before we
went to press.
The public speaking began abou
2.30 P. NJ, Governor Trinkle being
the main attraction, with Congress

as the Governor was talking, and

Published In Full.

The result of the Drive for fire
company equipment has resulted in a
grand total of $1251.26, which amount
the ladies wish to increase to $1,000.

the amount considerably. The people
lave responded generously, but some
ere yet not on the list who should be

doing their part.

when final disposition is made of the
funds, the people will also know just
what that may be. Publicity is the

Chincoteague Island had great
Gay last Wednesday-great in many
respects. 1t is now no longer an Is
land, it is a peninsula; because geog-
raphies tell us that peninsula is q
large body of land nearly surrounded
by water. The water is still around
Chincoteague but it has been bridged
and filled in so as to make the island
practically a peninsula.
1t was proud day for the water
men. They had made preparation for
u big time and they had it. The occa-
sion will go down in history as a red
letter day, and many things happened
that will serve as topics for conversa-
ton for years to come.
The crowd began to arrive early
mostly by autos, coming across the
newly built road and bridges. By ten
o'clock the town streets were alive
with visitors who noted as they passed
across the last bridge the sign, "Wel-
come to Chincoteague."
There was a programme of enter
tainment, headed by parade, then
public speaking, a football game, a
dinner in the open, and features at
night.
About 11.30 A. NJ, the parade form
ed headed by a company of National
Guard men, who showed they had not
forgotten their training in the World
War. Then came some horseback RID
erc in gala attire; most notable among
these were some very attractive maid
ems riding the celebrated Chinco-
league ponies, and dressed in the uni
form of a guardsman. The Onancock
Band followed playing enspiring
march music. After them were three
most interesting floats of historical
significance.
The first represented the Wheaton
family-the first settlers back in
Its. Three women in costume OF
that period, with red bandannas tied
on their heads, and smoking pipes,
picked, carded and spun the wool for
their home made garments. A minia-
ture log-cabin showed the early home,
and out of this peeped a youngster,
,,+;,,o of tho island
The next float represented the Jes-
ter family, who date their coming a*
early as 1850. The old life was shown
much in the Same way as the former
with the women performing the crude
labors of that time.
The third showed the Watson fami-
l,. who came on the island as early as
1890 and their float depicted the
struggle with the Indians, and the
motto, Liberty, was inscribed on the
side of their float.
These three representatives of the
early life were specially well gotten
up, and, received great applause as
they passed down the street. "Uncle
Sam" was there on a charger, and
gracefully responded to the salvos
of the crowd.
