Under grades were quiet and the weakest. The car market at declines of quarter to half cent was also little steadier. Premiums were re- ported on the bette: grading cars and less pressure to sell was noted.

POCOMOKE MAY HAVE
WINTER ENTERTAINMENTS
Efforts Being Made To Arrange
For Another Course Of
Entertainments

Efforts are being made to arrange
for another course of entertainments,
such as were given by the Antrim
Bureau last winter.
Experience has taught that these
are not financially successful; just
why, it is not very clear. For the
most part, the numbers presented are
instructive and entertaining, and can
not fail to have an uplifting influence
in the community.
However, the appeal that the ma
jority seem to respond to, is along
the line of the tragic or the humorous;
the educational is hard to impress up
on the public. Good lectures, refined
vocal and instrumental music; varied
performances In magic, cartoon work;
all fail to get the response they
should have.
However, the churches and other
organizations of the town are back Of
the move this year, and with this in
fuence, the project may be carried 10
a successful issue. The fact that such
a line of entertainment is generally
a failure does not speak very f1atter-
ingly of any community. And the
community does not know what it is
missing when it fails to patronize
such. The experience Of all who at
tend is an agreeable one, and it is
safe to say that no one could 60 away
dissatisfied after listening to an ev-
ening's performance.

Francis j. Lloyd, L.
Home From, College

Francis J. Lloyd, Jr., arrived home
this week from Lehigh University,
Bethlehem, Pa, from which institu-
tion he has just been graduated with
the degree of C.E.
Francis, as noted elsewhere, main
tanned high standing in his class,
which was shown by his being exempt
n all subjects taken during the second
semester.
He has secured a position with the
bravo Contracting Company, of Pitts
burgh, Pa, and leaves today to take
up his work with that firm.
Francis is one of the products of
Focomoke City, of whom his native
place can we'll be proud, and his par
ents can we'll be congratulated upon
having a son who does them so much
honor.

Part OF Broad St. Station
Burned; Loss 81, 600! 600

The Pennsylvania railroad station
at Broad street. Philadelphia, was
visited this week with a disastrous
fire, which will entail loss of ST.
100000 or $2,O0O,OOO.
All the train sheds, tracks, trains,
baggage, and the outside offices were
consumed, and only by the most
strenuous efforts of the firemen were
the waiting rooms and front offices
saved.
Over 100000 gallons Of gasoline in
cars was burned, and an enormous a.
mount of freight and baggage. Thir-
ty firemen were overcome and had to
be carried out.
It is almost inconceivable that a
structure Of iron, steel, concrete, and
stone should succumb so easily to the
fiery element; but when once great
heat is set up, nothing seems able to
resist it's ravages. Stone is crumbled;
iron and steel are twisted; wood is de-
voured, and every other known sub
stance appears to melt beneath the
seething furnace.
The station will be Immediately
built. Traffic was diverted for sever
al days but schedules are now work
ing as usual.

ELECTRIC STORM VICTIMS
BURIED LAST SUNDAY
Funeral Preached Over Two AT
Tindley's Chapel Near This
City.-Many Attend

The two colored people, Rome
johnson and Mary Johnson, who were
killed by lightning last week on the
farm Of Frank Wilmington, in Som
erset county, were buried last Sun
DAY at Tindley Chapel.
A large concourse of friends and
relatives attended. The bodies both
lay in the church at the same time,
and sermons preached over both.
They were buried in separate graves;
and after burial of one, the other wa;
carried to it's last resting place.
Each body was followed by separate
concourse of mourners and friends.
The caskets were covered with flow
ers, and the whole proceedings were
conducted in a most quiet and orderly
manner.
The woods surrounding the little
church was filled with vehicles, and
only a very small part of those in
attendance could get inside the build
ing. The windows were raised so
those outside could hear the service.

Children's Day Being
Held In Various Churches

Children's Day exercises were held
last Sunday morning in the Methodist
Protestant Church of this city, and in
the Methodist Episcopal Church in
the evening.
At both places specially attractive
programs were arranged, which were
most attractively rendered, and large
sums of money raised.
On next Sunday the day will be OBJ
served at Rehoboth Presbyterian
Church, and on Sunday week at the
church of the same denomination in
Pocomoke City.
These occasions are always freight
ed with deep interest, as the efforts
of children always please by their un-
bounded enthusiasm and sincerity.
These meetings are training schools
for future church supporters and
should be encouraged and supported
to the limit.
