CARD OF THANKS.

The Rev. J. Richard Bicking and
family desire to thank the officials
OF Salem M. E. Church, the women of
the Church, the order of the Eastern
Star and our many friends in POGO
moke for, their many expressions of
kindness and love in making more
comfortable the last days of our in
valid wife and mother, Elsie Mellow
ell Bicking.
Mrs. Bicking was so touched by the
friendship of the good people of Po-
comoke that she felt that Pocomoke
was home to her, and positively re-
fused to even consider suggestions
last conference that we be removed to
Wilmington on account Of her illness.
When We were made homeless by
fire the doors of many homes were
Immediately opened to us, and the
generosity of the people in making
US comfortable in our new home, and
providing for our financial needs will
never be forgotten.
We wish also to thank the COM
munity for it's heartfelt sympathy in
the death of Mrs. Bicking and for the
many floral tokens. Truly we are un-
able to find words to adequately ex-
press our gratitude.
While many have demonstrated
their staunch friendship, we feel that
we must mention the unfailing tender
administrations and Christian courte-
sizes of GU beloved friend and brother,
DR.. N. E. Sartorius.
Our friends in Pocomoke remind us
Of the woman who broke the alabaster
box OF ointment and lavished it upon
the Saviour, and of whom Jesus said
"She hath done what she could"

restored to the community. We want
him to know that we are with him in
this good work by all the influence
that we can command.
eve are proud of him and his brave
family. Carrying load sufficient to
break any mans courage in the pro-
tracted illness Of his wife and her I'M
timely death, fastened, beyond ques-
ton, by the murderous attempt on the
life Of the family, he is doubly en-
deared to us by the reason of his
brave performance of his civic duty.
We highly commend the action Of the
official board Of Salem M. E. Church,
with all other good people of the city,
for their support given this brave
leader in his crusade against an en-
trenched evil, and we want them also
to know that the moral force Of the
Methodism of this peninsula is back
of them in their good work of law en-
forcement.
eve will not cease to pray and
work until every law on our statute
books and every part of our consitu-

all who claim to be Americans and by
such foreign people who may seek a
home with us. "Obedience to law is
liberty"
eve confidently expect the officials
of Worcester county who are charged
with the administration of the law.
will see that strict and full punish
ment will be melted out to these out
laws. who in the spirit Of murderers
burned the house of our brother and
who have otherwise displayed their
unfitness to be at large in civilized
community.

protection of and His blessing upon
this brave servant of the Church, and
upon his heroic family"
