A. Brigden, who lives at the Ore gon hotel, 2o16 Fifth avenue, has in vented and patented machine for catching bean bugs, boil weevils and potato bugs that is said to have proven remarkably efficient.
 Only a few of the machines have so far been made for demonstration purposes. The small bean bug ma chimes are drawn by hand, while the larger weevil machines are designed for horse power.
 The principle of the machine is very simply. A series of coA springs arranged both vertically and hori- zontally are so arranged as to strike each portion of the vine gently as

POCOMOKE MAN
WEEDS GIRL OF
THE OLD SOUTH
MIR. Leslie Griffin Callahan Marries
Miss Ruth Parks OF Milledge-
vile, Georgia.
WILL MAKE POCOMOKE
THEIR FUTURE HOME

Milledgeville, Ga, Oct. 28.-For 81
Years the old Governors mansion, as
1t is called, has stood in the historic
city Of Milledgeville. Built in 1888.
for 70 years it housed the Gov elnors
OF our State. After the war, when
the capitol was taken from here to
Atlanta, this beautiful old building
was used by various families as a
home, and in 1882 was given 20 the
school now known as the Georgi;. Mil
itary College for barracks. or a.
bout eight years it was used as such
and then became the property of G.
N. l. c., now known as the State Col
lege for Women.
Strange to say, in all of it's varied
experiences, never had it had enacted
within its walls just such scenes as
took place on Thursday night when
Miss Ruth Parks became the bride of
Mr.. Leslie Griffin Callahan. Never
had it seen throngs of beautifully at
tired women and faultlessly dl essed
men assembled for just such an occa-
sion. Never, even during the ii, ,e OF
the eight Governors who lived within
its walls, had this old Mansion ever
had wedding. Somehow, old SOUTH
ern homes and weddings seem go
together, just like lavender arl old
lace. Wouldn't it have been ,reat
pity for this old building to have been
denied such an experience? A I'd a
wedding it was in every sense the
word, with every huge windo' and
great doorway beaming hosp atty
with the streams of light which ,our-
ed out into the night.
1t is not given to every girl be
married from Mansion. 1t hao been
her home for eighteen years. .iven
this fact and all the other inc ients
that conspired to make the oc aston
her friends have wondered what could
have been added to make this Coy of
days" dearer, sweeter, happier one
for this bride. Truly, she had a that
heart could wish.

taking the kickoff. The ball was
quickly carried into Snow Hill terri
tory; and the whole Pocomoke for
ward line was soon threatening their
opponents goal. There was sharp
scrimmaging in front of the posts, and
soon, within four minutes of play, the
ball was shot between the uprights by
Wafdwell, scoring one point for POGO
mobe.
During the first half, Pocomoke
played a fast offensive game, but
were unable to register another score.
During the second half they resorted
to strictly defensive work, and tho
Snow Hill threatened to score several
times, the splendid work of Love and

Six of our prominent citizens, back

tracted with the Antrim Lyceum Bu-
reau for series of entertainment to
be given between December %, 1922
and March 1, 1928.
On Friday Dec. %, 1922, the Ca

and on Tuesday January 8, 1923 DR.. J.
M. Tibbetts will appear. The other
dates are February 10, March 10, and
March 81, 1923. The attractions for
these dates are not definitely settled
but the public can look for something
both entertaining and instructive.
This is a most laudable endeavor to
give to Pocomoke high class diversion
for the winter months and the men

must have been something innately
humorous in the mental and moral
makeup of these ladies, to email lie
them to portray their parts so per-

makeup of the end men was excel

and Misses NAPLES and Young, are to
be congratulated on their advent into
the pale of black-face comedy. 1t
surely could not have been total
manufacture. There must have been
latent humorosity in their natures
waiting to be evoked, and it was sure

The music was well rendered. 'Th

chorus, and the selections received
many plaudits calling forth frequent

Despite the attraction on the streets

The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Edward J. Clarke, who acted as
chairman. After a short Introductory
address he presented Judge Johnson.
The Judge cautioned the democracy Of
Worcester against harboring feel

outcome Of the election. He counseled
all to rise to their responsibilities as
voters, and specially exhorted the
women, in view of certain conditions
seen at the polls on election day, to
come out and do their duty as citi-

laid his respects to the republican
candidates. The Judges speech was
well received, and warmly applauded.

Ordinarily, amateur entertainments
are successful only because focal

them because home talent produces
them.- The efforts of the young men
and young women known to everybody

proficiency is manifested; and while it
may not be up to professional stand

But the totally unacquainted strang-

LLOYD & BLAINE MOVE
INTO THEIR new STORE
They Are Second Firm To Occupy
Business Place In Burnt Dis
trict On Market Street.

Lloyd & Blaine are the second firm
to occupy business place on the
burnt district on Market street.
They moved into their new build
ing this week, and when they have
everything arranged to their taste,
they will have store rooms that are
u credit to any town or city.
Their property has been frequently
described in these columns, so far az
the outside is concerned. Looking at
the interior, the entrance is fanked by
two large and attractive show Win
attractive even before any
trimming. These extend about feet
or more from the ceiling, and over
them comes the light from stained or
ground glass windows. Along both
sides of the room extend shelving for
the display of goods. These are made
Of PHILIPPINE mahogany, highly polish
ed; on the right side they are enclosed
with plate glass roller doors, and built
with plate glass buffet counters. IN
der these are enclosed partitions for
storage, at the bottom of which are
washboards of marble.
On the left the shelving is for medi-
cine bottles and patent medicines.
Silent salesman counters extend in
front of these, constructed of plate
glass and resting on marble founda-
tons. In the rear is the prescription
counter. The ceiling of this room is
metal, beautifully panneled and paint
ed, from which hang celestial electric
lights. In the centre of this room
will be placed, mahogany tables for
the display of goods.
A wide stairway leads to the second
floor. This apartment while not so
elaborate as the one below, is well
adapted to the purposes for which it
is intended. Shelving extends along
both sides, and tables will be put in
the. middle of the floor. The stock will
consist of glass, china, and wooden
ware. The floor above this is simply
for the storage of goods.
This firm is to be commended fol
its enterprise, and to be congratulated
on their beautiful quarters. They are
now ready to serve the public.

FIREMEN'S FUND DRIVE
WILL START MONDAY
City Will Be Canvassed For Dona-
tions.-All Are Asked To
Give Literally.

The Mayor and City Council nave
requested the ladies of Pocomoke CITY
10 make house to house canvass for
donations for benefit of the local fire
company.
Every person who is in any way
benefited by the Fire Company of
Pocomoke will be called upon for a
liberal contribution on the afternoon
Of November 9th, between the hours
Of 2 and 5.
Kindly give this your attention, and
have donation ready so the ladies will
not have to call upon you the second
time.
The Worcester Democrat warmly
advocates the efforts of these public
pirited ladies. There is no organiza-
ton of town or city, that deserves the
enthusiastic support of its population
more than does the fire department.
Ordinarily in towns size of Pocomoke
fire equipment is inadequate, and any
move to increase its efficiency should
te given a hearty response. Giving to
such a cause is not charity; your mon
G! goes to protect property and life.
And people soemtimes undervalue
the work done by the volunteer fire
ladies. A terrible connagration visi-
ted us recently. How many times
have our fire fighters prevented such
disasters in the past, and their success
ninimized by the apparently insig-
lificant blaze extinguished. Give to
these ladies, and you get bigger re-
turn for your money than in any other
way you can invest it.

ROTARY CLUB
ORGANIZED in
POCOMOKE CITY
Officers Have Been Named And
Charter For New Organization
Is Assured.
MOVEMENT BACKED BY
INFLUENTIAL CITIZENS

Pocomoke City is to have a Rotary
Club. The Charter yet to be obtained
by the organization is assured The
officers of the club are: President, DR.
A. A. Parker; vice-president, DR.. N.
Z. Sartorius; secretary, Godfrey
Child, Esq; treasurer, Mr.. Ounce
Ashburn; seargent-at-arms, Mr.. j. M.
Clogg; directors, Messrs. H. B. Pilch-
ard and M. L. Veasey.
Fifteen men being necessary for or
ganization, the following constitute
the remaining membership: DR.. w. H.
Walters, Mr.. w. H. Sehoolfield, Rev
E. L. Bunce, Messrs. H. NJ. Walters,
Roger w. Landlord, Colmore E. Byrd,
Z. C. Fontaine, r. l. Lcdnum. The
members meet every Monday night
somewhere, and their meeting is al
ways at festive board-a meal.
The emblem of the Rotarians is a
wheel, symbolic of revolutionary ideas
the word being used in good
sense; that is, of doing away with the
old, and getting new whenever the
latter is better. 1t also signifies visi-
tations-one club rotating to another
for social as well as business purpos-
es. The Rotary Platform as adopted
by the 1911 Rotary Convention, states
that the club is organized to express
that proper relation between private
interests and the fusion of private in
terests which constitutes society.
Each member is benefited by contact
with representative men engaged in
different occupations.
The basis of club membership in
sures the representation of all inter-
ests and the domination Of none. The
club demands fair dealings, honest
methods and high standards in bust
ness. Election to embership therein is
an expression of confidence of the club
in the member elected ard of its good
will towards him. Membership is a
privilege and an opportunity.
This organization can not fail to be
of benefit to any community, and the
citizens of Pocomoke are to be con-
graduated on having it in their midst.

He dealt almost entirely with the tar

study Of this phase of our govern
mental policy. 1t was splendid eff
fort from the standpoint of mastery
Of subject craftsmanship, and oratory.
1t was the general opinion that Mr..
Goldsborough excelled himself, and
it is unfortunate that more people did
lot hear him. No mistake can be
n ade in classifying him as among the
leading representatives, so far as a
bility is concerned. His age and short
tenure of office, his disadvantage of
sitting in House overwhelmingly re-
publican, whereby all his efforts are
rullified by partisan majority,-all
have operated against his coming to
the front. But give him a chance, and
we predict that Maryland, proud as
she is of T. Alan Goldsborough, will
yet hail him as the equal of any of
our long line of illustrious statesmen
who have lent honor and fame to this
State as we'll as to the nation at large
