ANOTHER CANNERY
FOR POCOMOKE CITY
Two Somerset County Men Will
Erect Canning House Just
Over River Bridge

If rumor has it correctly, Pocomoke
City is to have another canning
house located just across the POGO
moke river, running parallel with and
bordering on railroad and fronting
the State road.
Robert Jones and Charles Gelder,
men of Somerset county, have purch-
ased it is reported, one and one-half
acres of ground from William j.
Young, of Charlestown, w. Va, and
will erect a large building thereon.
While possibly the main industry
will be canning, it is understood the
fam Will conduct grading business;
buying, sorting, and packing for the
choicest markets. They will prepare
what can be called fancy goods, wrap
ping and boxing in the latest approx
cd methods.
These gentlemen are heartily well
coined in this neighborhood. In them
can be seen another aid to the farm
er, and they should be an incentive to
the planting of varied crops used by
the Gamer.

ACCOMAC JURY
DECLARES WEST
IS NOT GUILTY
Snowman Is Acquitted On lndict-
ment For Murder Of Ralph
Roach AT Tasley Fair
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
in CASE In POCOMOKE

After deliberation of only 25
minutes an Accomac county jury at
8 o'clock Wednesday night brought
in verdict of acquittal for Frank B.
West, owner of the West Greater
Shows who was indicted with three
others for murder in connection with
fatal shooting at the Tasley Fair
Grounds last August.
Predictions that the trial would be
a long drawn out affair, took con-
trary turn in the afternoon when the
four attorneys constituting the de-
fense counsel for West, abruptly rest
ed their case after presenting a few
witnesses.
West is reported as stating after
the verdict that he will continue sea-
sonal tours of the Eastern states with
the carnival shows of which he is
owner. All civil claims against the
shows growing out of the Staying of
Ralph Roach, young Tasley farmer,
have either been settled or dism ssed,
it is said.
The indictments returned aga INST
the showmen were for murder and
placed the burden of determining the
degree upon the jury. A. T. Shultz
was convicted of murder in the sec
end degree and sentenced to serve 5
years in the Virginia State Peniten-
tiary. A manslaughter verdict was
returned against Girard Leozzo, car
rying a sentence of years, while the
indictment against Charles F. Miller
was dropped.

DEL L-MAR-VIA
FAIR DATES
AGREED UPON
Annual Meeting Of Peninsula Fair
Officials Held Last Thursday
Several Changes In Dates
POCOMOKE FAIR AHEAD
OF TASLEY THIS YEAR

The annual meeting of the Del
Mar-Va-Pen Fairs and Racing Cir
cult representative was held in Sal
isbury on Thursday of last week with
about fifty men from Harrington,
Del. Pocomoke City, Tasley, Va, and
Salisbury present. West Chester, Pa,
sent notice that it's representatives
would be late in arriving but the
meeting adjourned before they put in
their appearance.
One of the principal matters of
business was the setting of dates for
the 1925 fairs. The dates finally as
signed were as follows: Cambridge,
July 21st to 25th; Harrington, July
2Sth to August 1st; Pocomoke, Aug.
4th to 9th; Tasley, August 18th to
18th; Salisbury, August 18th to 25th.
The Salisbury Fair will be week
earlier than last season to avoid a
conflict with the Kellar Fair as was
the case in 1924. To maintain har-
mony throughout the circuit Cam
bridge graciously moved it's fair up
several weeks and other towns agreed
to different dates than those they had
last year. This avoided the Sails
bury-Kellar complication and also
precluded the necessity of other men,
bers of the organization being as
signed dates which they did not deem
to the best interest of their associa-
tions.
James M. Crockett, ESQ.,, of this
city, was unanimously re-elected
president, as was D.. J. Ward, of Sal
isbury, secretary-treasurer. Both of
fcials have served for a number of
years. 1t was agreed that each indi-
vidual association settle upon it's own
purses, class of racing and other mat
ters of that nature and their program
be in the hands of the Secretary by
April 1st. Several representatives of
carnivals, shows, free acts, auto rae
ing concerns, etc., had interviews
with the several secretaries after the
business meeting.
The business session, which was
held in the convention hall of the
hotel, was preceded by a luncheon
rendered the visitors by the Salisbury
Fair Association. Covers were laid
for Sc C. M. Freeman, cashier of
the Central Bank, welcomed the guests
on behalf of Wicomico county and
talks were made by several of the
guests. A feature adding to the So
cial part of the dinner was the rendi-
ton of several soprano vocal solos
by an artist from Chicago who was
carried to Salisbury by James F.
Victor who has furnished music for
several fairs on the Peninsula in years
past. Instrumental numbers by Mike
Dolan, pianist at the Arcade theatre,
were also greatly enjoyed.

Explanation of An
Commission In Last Issue

The Democrat wishes to make a.
mends for an unintentional omission
in the account the issue of last
Saturday contained, of the entertain
ment given in the City Hall for the
benefit of st. Mary's Guild, this city.
1t failed to make mention Of the
splendid assistance rendered Mrs.
Lawson by her accompanist, Mrs.
William S. Bowen.
This failure did not result from in
appreciation of Mrs. Bowen's work by
the writer of the news item. The
editor, who wrote it, expressed him.
self to Mrs. Bowen and to Mrs. Bow
ems relatives, after the recital, and
they could not have failed to sense
how he felt about the pianist's per-
formance.
Just why the writer left Mrs. Bow
en- out of the account is almost mex
pla'nable; it was not because he did
hot care to speak of her; not because
he did not appreciate her; not be-
cause of any poor work;-the nearest
thing to an explanation is that he
thought her praise had already been
sung and was very much surprised to

Testing Seed Corn AT
Pocomoke High School

In the Agricultural department of
the High school the true worth of this
Department is now in the process of
making itself clear to the farmers
and supporters. Seed corn testing
fats are being built large enough to
test at one thine 700 ears of corn.
The corn season was so very poor last
year that testing seed corn this sea-
son is highly necessary and it is here
that Vocational agriculture fits in.
The Department will test every ear of
corn sent in to the school. Every boy
will urge his neighbor as well as his
father to bring in their seed corn and
have it tested. It will cost nothing
but little time. Why not?
A few years ago the Citizens Ma
tional Bank had large tester in it's
lobby and men who saw it were fully
convinced as to it's value.
