'tMayor OF Govans''
Mysteriously Disappears

Local interest in VIM. S. Norris,
known as the mayor of Govans," who
has recently so mysteriously disap-
peared from his home, centers in the
fact that his wife, before her mar
riage, was Miss Beulah Stevenson,
daughter of the late John H. Steven
son, former resident Of Pocomoke
City.
Mr.. Stevenson was a brother of the
late Mrs. J. T. B. McMaster, and, con-
sequently, Mrs. Norris is cousin to
Samuel McMaster, Of Pocomoke City,
Mrs. Herbert King, of Snow Hill, and
John S. McMaster, of Jersey City,
N. J..
Diligent search is being made for
Mr.. Norris, and on Wednesday last a
body was found floating in the Balti-
more harbor which was first thought
to be Mr.. Norris; but investigation
proved the contrary.
Mr.. Norris had been in highly ner-
vous state before his departure, and
grave fears are felt for his safety.

Sheriff Parks Captures
Negro For Second Time

Deputy Sheriff, Lennie T. Parks.
succeeded in landing, for a second
time, Marion Mills, colored, in the
Salisbury Jail, from which he had
made getaway last week.
The re-capture occurred last Mon
day about P. M. Sheriff Parks was
riding along the road in Johnson's
Neck, when he saw the Mills man
dodge down behind an obstruction on
the road. Suspecting something
wrong the Sheriff investigated, and
nailed the fugative in his tracks.
Communication was Immediately Sc.
cured with the Salisbury authorities
who came to Pocomoke that same af.
ternoon and carried the prisoner tt
the Salisbury Jail.
Mills was convicted of stealing ii
Powellsvile, imprisoned in Salisbury
and was sought as one Of those con
cerned in the Jail delivery in the Wi
comico county seat. Sheriff Parks cal
be commended for his prompt action

Celebrates Her Seventieth
Birthday Anniversary

Mss. Herbert King, late of POGO
moke City, but now of Snow Hill, who
has been visiting Mrs. James S. Clogg,
was rendered very delightful birth
day party last Saturday, March 81.
This date marked the SEVENTEEN an
'niversary of Mrs. Kings birthday, and
she surely can be congratulated upon
the wonderful preservation of her
youth, and spirits. Along with many
of her friends the Democrat extends
we'll wishes, and believes Mrs. King
is destined to enjoy many returns of
March 81.
Refreshments were served and the
|evening much enjoyed. Those present
were: Mrs. India Dix, Mrs. Edgar
Child, Miss Annie Mills, Mrs. Alice
Fontaine, Mrs. James Blaine, Mrs.
William Scott, Mrs. Thomas Hargis,
Miss Maggie Clarke, Mrs. George
Twilley, Mrs. Edward Schoolfield, Mrs.
Vernon Stevenson, and Mrs. Jewell.
Others were invited but were prevent
ed by various means from attending.

Store Windows Electrified;
Unsuspecting Are Shocked

Through some disarrangement o1
the wiring in the drug store of Lloye
& Blaine this week, the copper cas-.
ings of the plate glass in the show
windows became electrified, and pro.
duced quite a shock when passersby
happened to come in contact with
them.
Much amusement was obtained by
the immunes in inducing unsuspect.
ing persons to test the smooth finish
of the window casings-a surprise was
in store.
The firm stated that a little girl
happened to pass, took hold of the
window and so great was the shock
that it toppled her over. 1t is useless
to say that the short circuit was re.
paired as soon as possible.
Outside of the waste of electric en-
ergy which was showing itself in a
very decided way on the meter, the
firm did not wish to place in position
an invisible, barrier to their front
door.

NJ p. And M. E. Pastors
Attending Conference

The pastors Of both the Methodist
Churches in Pocomoke City are away
at present, attending the annual Con-
ferences; one being held at Whining.
ton; the other, at Dover.
Both Mr.. Bicking and Mr.. Bunce
have made themselves deservedly
popular and their congregations as
we'll as the public at large are trust
ing that the church authorities may
see fit to return them.
They are both energetic, earnest,
sincere, and pious Christian gentle
n,en. They are strong pulpit men
and Sunday School workers. They
WELD an influence calculated, not on
IL to build up their own denomina-
ton, but to spread abroad a spirit of
general uplift.
The community would miss these
men and everyone hopes to have the
opportunity to welcome them back.

Base Ball Directors
Make Good Report

Ray v. Gladding and Clarence E.
Robertson returned on Wednesday
last from their trip to Philadelphia
which trip was made partly for the
purpose of looking into the base ball
prospects for Pocomoke City during
the coming season.
They met manager Sharp and a
number Of players he has under con-
tract. The Pocomoke visitors also
found the manager very well known
in Philadelphia ball circles, and in
variably he is spoken of as a capable
man.
If everything said about the calibre
of the men to play here this season is
true, Pocomoke can be well assured OF
a team, if not pennant winners, still
a fighting, harmonious bunch Of young
enthusiastic athletes.

ENCOURAGING DATA
CONCERNING TRADE.
Pocomoke's Big Department Store
Reports Unusual Volume OF Busi-
ness For Past Two Months

In these times of money stringen-
cy, it is gratifying to know that the
volume of trade is not diminishing in
our city, and that business is showing
a decided increase over former years.
In an interview this week with Mil
ton L. Veasey, proprietor of, perhaps,
the largest Department store in this
section of the country south Of the
big cities, it was revealed that in
March he reached a point that passed
all records of cash receipts since the
organization of the house in 1855.
In February, the statements showed
a decided advance over the same
month of last year; and a most
astounding percentage of increase, in
the same month, of furniture sales
over that of last year-this being 300
per cent.-almost incredible, but when
investigation is made of the large and
varied stock, chosen with so much
judgment and taste, it is easy to un-
derstand the attraction drawing GUS
toners to the big store.
Mr.. Veasey informs us that new
fields of patronage are being opened
up constantly; new customers from
localities never before reached by our
mercantile interests.
We are sure others of our mer-
chants will report similar encouraging
situations, and it is our purpose to
give further publicity to trade condi-
tions.
When spring opens, and indications
point to a renewal of building opera
tions, every improvement will serve
to enhance our commercial attractions,
and when Pocomoke recovers-
wholly, but rs per cent-from her re-
cent disastrous confagraton, we pre-
dict she will assume the position of
the best shopping center on the PENN
sula.

DR.. Quinn was twice married; tn,
first time to Miss Sallie Atkinson
daughter of the late Levin Atkinson
of this place. One daughter, Mrs
Mary Horsey survives this marriage
His second wife was Miss Amanda
Connor, who lives to mourn his death
Three children, Irma, Arthur S., ant
Fred. c., were born to them-Fred
being the sole survivor of these. r
The Doctor was long and devoted
ly interested member of the knights
Of Pythias Lodge. He was a Past
Grand Chancellor, and probably the
oldest member of that Order ir
the State at the time of his
death. Members of this fraternity
turned out in large numbers, and took
charge of the body at the grave
Their beautiful ritual, expressively
pronounced over the remains, was a
most fitting ceremonial to their dead
brother; and as the simple act OF
dropping sprig of evergreen on the
casket was performed, it so feelingly
emblematized the eternal life which
they all believed was the reward OF
the dead Knight.
A large concourse of relatives and
friends attended the funeral; the Pres
byterian Church being filled. The
body was borne to the grave by the
following active bearers: Lorie c.
Quinn, DR.. Gordon T. Atkinson, Edga,
Child, Edward S. Hargis, VIM. T. c.
Hargis, and Irving Jones.
The honorary bearers were: Julius

made in the cemetery of this denomi-
nation.

an itfnerant Methodist preacher, the
early life of DR.. Quinn was rowing
one-moving about from place to

age Of 10 or more years, his parents
came back to the farm and settled.
DIR. Quinn received his early educa-

Empire Theatre Adopts
BIZ Weekly Schedule

The management Of the Empire
Theatre, as will be seen by advertise
ment, has decided to reduce the num-
ber of screen performances during the
week, to two-Wednesdays and Satur-
days.
While this step is taken as a result
of an apparent slackening of interest
in the picture drama still there is no
intention on the part of the proprie-
tors to present any sort of inferior
attraction. Up-to-date films will be
used, and we are safe in saying that
just as soon as receipts warrant, the
six-day schedule will be resumed.

Mr.. Beck had long been a sufferer

peared to be on the road to recovery
For long time he had to use his
crutches, as the disease attacked one
of his feet.
His physical condition, however

UP until about 3 years ago, was q
rember of the vestry in Emmanue
P. E. Church, Chestertown.
Mr.. Beck, while serving in the leg.
islature, became very warmly attach.
ell to the late Samuel M. Crockett
ard this feeling of friendship was
warmly reciprocated, and continued
till the demise of Mr.. Crockett.
