Miss Ruth C. Huffman, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. Huffman of this city,
became the bride of Otho H. Wilker-
son, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Wilk-
erson, of Miona, Va.
The ceremony was performed very
quietly at the ME. parsonage by Rev.
J. r. Bicking. Immediately following
the ceremony the young couple left
for brief trip to Baltimore and
Washington, and Upon their return
will reside at the. groom's home in
Miona, Va.
The bride, prior to her marriage
held a responsible position with the
Peninsula Produce Exchange of this

Quota For Children's
Home Oversubscribed Here

F. Lee Bonneville, acting as the
chairman of the committee appointed
to solicit funds for the enlarg cement
and general improvement of the girls
home at Easton, Md, reports the
quota for this parish as considerably
over-subscribed.
This is one of the most worthy in
stitutions that ever went before the
public for pecuniary assistance. The
accommodations at the Home were
most inadequate, and had been con-
demned by State authorities. While
it was under the management and ad-
ministration of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, yet the friendless girl
was taken in and cared for, regardless
of her religious affiliation;' conse-
quently contributions came in from
all denominations St. Mary's Church
and those outside the church are to be
congratulated on the liberality in
going over the top in the matter OF
the assessment for the parish.

formance. Shows To Be
Annual Events.

The Wheeler Producing Company,
the Eastern Star Chapter of this city
and all who took part in the Minstrel
and "Step Lively" performance given
here recently are to be congratulated
upon the brilliant success which at
tended their efforts.
The performance, from the intro
duction showing the "Flapper's
Chorus" to the fall of the curtain
showing the Gypsy scene in the last
act, was one of unusual interest ano
held the audience spell bound with its
succession of delightful surprises
From beginning to end it was a high
class entertainment and one of which
Pocomoke should feel justly proud.
Much praise should be given the
Wheeler Producing Company for thei1
splendid production, and to the en-.
tire cast for their interest and CO.
operation. It was we'll worth the
trouble and the time expended and the
public is unanimous in it's desire fol
repetition of Wheeler production
under the auspices of the Eastern
Star next fall.

Third Street Residents
Greatly Improve Property

M. w. Landing has made some very
decided improvements in his property
on Third street, and now has practi-
cally e. new house. He started out to
make few repairs and, as usual, de-
fects in construction came rapidly to
light, and he spent dollars when he
expected cents to answer. But Mr..
Landing always takes care of any,
thing he owns, and with the added
comforts brought by his expenditures.
he feels amply repaid for his outlay.
Miss May Pusey on the SAME street
has not been idle in the way of i'm
provements to her property. She has
built an addition which very much
enlarges the house, and it is now ade-
quate for two small apartments.
Mr.. Landing and Miss Pusey have
added materially to the good looks of
that increasingly popular residential
section.

AIRPLANE LANDS in
HURLEY'S FIELD
DR. Nydegger, Acting President OF
St. Johns Alumni, Flies From
Baltimore To Pocomoke.

DR.. James A. Nydegger, acting
president of the st. Johns College
Alumni Association, was in POGO
moke City last Tuesday, arriving here
about $50 P. NJ, remaining over
night and leaving at 10 o'clock next
morning.
DR.. Nydegger is on an organizing
sour, arranging. for committees in the
different towns, and getting every
thin in readiness for the drive the
Alumni of st. Johns are making for
an endowment fund of $30O,OOO.
While in Pocomoke City he called
.pon Godfrey Child, E. Blaine, Jr.,
q. j. Clarke, and others, soliciting
their cooperation in putting the old
>ollege on its feet financially. It goes
Without saying he was promised en-
shusiastic support.
DR.. Nydegger is making "fying
trips" in the true sense of the term,
since he is travelling from place to
place in an air plane He left Balti-
more on Tuesday at 2.30 P. NJ, hop
ping off at Dundalk Aviation Field.
In hour he had landed at Cambridge
about 80 miles distant. Spending an
hour here in seeing st. Johns men, he
again took the air at 4.30, crossed
'ver Princess Anne % minutes later,
nd landed IN Pocomoke about $50 P
M, parking his machine in Hurley's
field about 1A miles from town.,
On Wednesday morning he continu-
Cd his flight to Snow Hill, from which
place he expects to visit Princess
Anne and Salisbury, then back t.,
Baltimore on Wednesday evening.
The handling of the plane is being
lone by Lieut.. Bourne, of Baltimore,
III experienced flyer in war time land
ssho saw service on the other side.
DR.. Nydegger reports most encour-
aging progress in his efforts to enlist
cooperation among the alumni, and
thinks that the amount sought for the
college will be over-subscribed. He
himself is putting great deal of en-
,rgy and enthusiasm into the work,
and sees nothing ahead but renewed
ife and vigor for the ancient seat of
learning.
Lieut.. Bourne had narrow escape
rom serious injury while he was
'cranking" his plane. He started to
imber up the propeller of the plane
not knowing the switch had been
;urned on.
The blades began revolving rapid
" and struck his right hand, bruising
very badly. The Lieutenant was
quick enough to get the rest of his
body away from the deadly wheel.

w. Harry School:Gield
Purchases Electric Car

Harry Schoolfeld brought to town
last week what some one Immediately
dubbed the ''Toonerville Trolley
The antique looking vehicle is 1916
model of the Waverly electric car.
The body has the appearance of the
old time coach and it is difficult to
tell whether it is going or coming,
front and rear being so similar in ap-
pearance.
1t is well built machine, runs
smoothly, and is trimmed inside with
specially fine upholstering in pure
leather.
It will run about so miles on one
charge of the batteries, and no doubt
was originally inteaded for lady's
town car. Harry has demonstrated
its running power to many of his
friends who. were delighted with its
ease and comfort.
