Auto And Truck Collide
AT Market And Second

DR.. R. Lee Hall, while driving hig
car, collided "head-on' with big
truck at the corner of Second AM:
Market streets, on last Thursday
morning.
AS both machines were going at g
slow rate, no damage was done. 1t is
rot amiss to say however, that the
driver of the truck was not as care
full as he should have been, as thu
Doctor was as close to the curb, turn
ing to the right, as he possibly coul,;
have gotten. 1t is true the man on
the right has the right of way, but
or making a turn, he should swing
further away from the left side.
Drivers of auto cars can never be
too watchful.

FOR BASE BALL SEASON
New Member Of Eastern Shore
League Expects To Make Strong
Bid For Pennant.

Officers and directors of the Milford
Baseball Association of the Eastern
Shore League have filed papers Of in
corporation with the Secretary OF.
States office in Dover. and are plan
ming for the most aggressive and sue
cessive season in the history of the
sport in that town. An active COM
mittee of the association is canvassing
the business section for the sale of
this stock and the response has been
liberal.
R. M. Clarke, formerly of the Pied
mont League, has been engaged to
manage the Milford team this year.
Last season Clarke developed some
fine players, two of whom have been
signed by Connie Mack of the Phila-'
delphia Athletics, for tryout.
The first game Of the season will
see Dover, the ancient rival of Mil
ford, on the local diamond, and on the
day following Milford will go. to
Dover for return game.
Both Dover and Milford are anxious
to capture the pennant and the base
ball fans of Milford and Dover are
showing their loyalty to the two man
agements by subscribing generously
to the stock of both interpretations.
In order to aid the association a home
talent minstrel show is being re-,
hearsed and will be staged in the
Plaza Theater in a few weeks. Old
time minstrel men of Milford will take
part.
The officers of the Milford Baseball
Association are: President, William G.
Powders; vice-presidelit, c. D. Holz-
mueller; secretary, Norman L. Wind
sor; treasurer, o. T. Cannon; direct
ors, G. T. Reed, L. N. Hearn, William

TO RAISE FUNDS FOR
ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT
P. H. S. Students Adopt Business
Like Method OF Earning Money
For School Purposes.

The students of Pocomoke High
School have chosen a business-like
method for earning money with which
to purchase the Athletic equipment
which the school wants very much.
They have launched the course in
salesmanship provided by the. Curtis
Publishing Company, Of Philadelphia,
which gives them training in sales
manship, and at the same time pro-
vides them with a method for earning
money through securing subscriptions
for the "Ladies Home Journal" out
side of school hours this week.
This course has been conducted thr,
more than 5000 schools and has the
endorsement of some of the country's
leading educators and foremost busi-
ness men.
G. L. Seeeley, vocational director
for this district, delivered very in
teresting lecture to the students, ex-
planning the present-day need for a
knowledge Of salesmanship and CIV
ing the principles of selling. He fol-
lowed this with little two-act play:
"How Not to Sell" and elbow to Sell"
Some very worthwhile instruction in
salesmanship was gained, which is to
be followed up by the students in their
practical sales work this week.
The school is divided into two
teams, the Mutt, with Miss Belle
Hudson as leader; and the Jeff, with
Miss Margaret Bowen as leader.
Gold and silver pencils will be a
warded by the school to the boys and
girls making the best record in Sales
manship. Keen rivalry has developed
between the opposing sides.

J. Paul Young Acquires
Control OF Ford House

J. Paul Young, proprietor of the
Parker House, this city has rented
the second and third floors of the Ford
House, corner of Front and Market
streets, Pocomoke City and will use
them as an annex to his house en-
Clarke avenue.
The entire management of the Ford
House will be centered at the Parker
House, and the former will be room
ing apartment to take the overflow
from the latter.
Mr.. Young's amalgamation of these
two properties under his supervision
ensures a satisfactory hotel service
for our town.
He has made the Parker House
justly popular for it's cuisine and
housing comforts. It is safe to say
he will conduct the other house along
the same excellent lines.

fer the place. They said the warden
had been treated unjustly by the
newspapers and by those who had
made charges against his management

gether meeting, announced in our is
sue of Jan. 27 to take place next We'd

c. E. ENNIS, SR., DIED
THURSDAY MORNING
LONGTIME Resident Of Pocomoke
Succumbs After Short Illness.
Born In May, 1923

mOke's oldest and most respected clti-
lens died last Thursday morning at 5
o'clock at his home on Clarke avenue
While the physical trouble that con-
tributed to his death was, more o.
less, connected with his kidneys, yet
he seemed to suffer a general break
down from which his advanced age
prevented his recovery.
Mr.. Ennis was born near Snow Hill
nearly 80 years ago, on May a, 1843.
His entire life has been spent in Wor.
cester county, he living successfully in
Snow Hill, Girdletree, Stockton, and
Pocomoke City, following the trade
Of shoemaking and repairing.
Over fifty years ago, Mr.. Ennis
married Miss Martha Gutherie, OF
Snow Hill, Maryland, whose death oc-
Cured ten years ago. A coincidence
Of her death being that her husband
will be laid to rest next Sunday, and
just ten years ago, on Sunday, she
too was borne to her last resting
place.
Mr.. Ennis was for about 10 years
tax collector for the Pocomoke Cor
poration, and his discharge of this du-
ty was always efficient and prompt.
He is survived by five children:
. Mrs. E. C. Young, Of Cape Charles.
Va; Mrs. C. C. Mccormick, Of Penn
Argyll, Pa.; Mrs. G. c. Townsend,
John w., and Charles E. Ennis, Jr.,
all Of Pocomoke City.
Funeral services will be conducted
tomorrow Sunday afternoon at-2.30
o'clock at the M. E. Church, this city.
and interment will take place in the
M. E. Church cemetery, Snow Hill.
Rev. J. r. Bicking officiating. Under
taker Stevenson will be the funeral
director.
The pail bearers are his two sons
Charles E. and John w. Ennis; his
grandson, Courtland Young; his two
sons-in-law, E. C. Young.->1d G. G.
Townsend and w. j. Dryden, the late
Mrs. Ennis brother-in-law. The
honorary bearers will be, selected from
the official board Of Salem M. +.
Church this city, of which Mr.. Ennis
was a member.
No man in our community was more
highly respected than Mr.. Ennis. His
life and conduct stood out most con-
spicuously as being worthy of imita-
ton; and this was all the more re-
nlarkable because of his extremely
modest and retiring disposition. 1t
could be we'll said of him, he was
Gods noblest work, an honest man.
He will be missed more than his
friends could possibly realize, a good
man gone is a calamity, and Mr.. En-
Iis was good.
He loved his family, his friends, his
Church, his town; and many now will
feel they loved him more than they
thought.
He leaves behind him a sweet infiu-
cnce, and career of lowly upright
ness few can equal and none surpass.
In the Heaven that awaits the faith
full, Mr. Ennis will occupy high seat
and we'll for us, all were we to follow
his beckoning hand, so as to reap the
reward he must now be enjoying.
Hail, and farewell to the departed! =

Resigns Position With
American Stores Co.

Mr.. William F. Hillman, the accom-
modating manager of the American
Stores establishment in this city, has
resigned his position with that cor
poration.
Mr.. Hillman has not located himself
as yet, but has several lucrative jobs
in view. No doubt his ability will
soon recommend him for an engage
ment.
