Smptous Repast Held AT Local Hotel Meeting Presages
Efficient Administration Evening Eniyened
By Interesting Speeches
GEORGE E. BARNES TO BE HOST AT AN
OYSTER ROAST TO BE HELD WEDNESDAY

The candidates on the Democratic
ticket which were swept into Office
on November 2, by most convincing
majorities, held dinner at the Par
ker House on Monday evening last,
which had for its object both a get
together consultation, and also a sort
of celebration Of the big victory.
Proprietor Young spread himself in
furnishing a menu, part Of which
was the toothsome turkey, cranberry
sauce, and all the rest of the "fix-
ms"
The party assembled about 7.45 P.
M, and for an hour did good work
at the tables, and assured mine host
Young, by most practical exhibit
that his table was all that could be
desired. F
After the repast was finished, Sem
ator Harrison, acting as toastmaster,
called upon those present for short
talks. Those responding were, C.. L.
Vincent, of the Democratic Messen-
ger; ]. w. Price, Esq, Snow Hill,
candidate in the primaries for the,
nomination to the office of States
Attorney; r. I. Lednum, George L.
Barnes, Jr., and Horace Davis, dele
gates to the Maryland General AS
scmbly; Walter r. Dennis, Sheriff
elect; Samuel L. Shockley, chief judge
of the Orphans Court; Godfrey Child,
States Attorney, elect; Roger w.
Lankford, Treas. elect; John w. Num-
ford, County Commissioner; DR.. Paul
Jones, Register of Wills; Miss Bessie
Bowen, Clerk, elect; and Edward j.
Clarke, of the Worcester Democrat,
All these testified to the wonderful
victory, and all attributed it to the
staunch principle back of Dmocracy
and to a realization by the people that
the opposition did not hold very much
of an appeal to the electorate.
Those present besides the speakers
above mentioned were, Mesdames C.
L. Vincent, George L. Barnes, /. J.
Davis, Godfrey Child, Roger w. Lank-
ford, Samuel E. Shockley, Orlando
Harrison, J. w. Mumford, Walter r.
Dennis C. L. Mason, and E. J.. Clarke;
also Messrs. C. L. Mason, I. j.
Davis, Thomas ]. Fassett, and Leslie
D. Shockley. The guests of the even-
ing were Mr.. and Mrs. Vincent; Mr..
and Mrs. Clarke, w. J. Price, and
Leslie D. Shockley.
Another treat is in store for those
assembled last Monday night. George
L. Barnes, Jr., has invited the party
to an oyster roast next Wednesday
afternoon at Scarborough's Landing.
1t is safe to predict that George"
will prove an ideal host, and that no
body will leave the place with the in
ner man unsatisfied.
This meeting was characterized by
all as tending to insure hearty coop
GRAFTON between all newly elected and
reelected officials, and guaratee CT
a most efficient administration in all
of the county.

DIES OF APOPLExY
One OF PocomokGs Oldest Citizens
Dies Suddenly Funeral
Held Yesterday

j. Frank Thorington, one of the
oldest citizens Of Pocomoke City, and
highly respected, died suddenly at his
home on Cedar street last Wednes-
day morning, his death being due to
apoplexy.
The deceased was born in Accomac
county, Va, was rs years of age, and
the son of the late Mr.. and Mrs. John
William Thorington.
Of late years, Mr.. Thorington has
not been actively engaged in business,
but his life, spent in his native county
and in Somerset and Worcester coun-
ties, has always been a busy one.
For years he was drover and a
dealer in furs of all kinds. He was a
merchant and also holder Of county
public office, having held the posi-
tions Of constable, deputy sheriff and
Justice Of the Peace. Up till the end,
he was interested in present day af-
fairs, and at the time Of his death was
seeking an appointment as magis-
trate. : i"H.. !.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by a daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Whay-
land, of Philadelphia; and by two
sons, J. F., Jr., of Delmar, and c.
Norman, of Pocomoke City. Funeral
services were held yesterday at 2.30
P. NJ, from his home, conducted by
Revs. E. L. Bunce and j.. w. Jones,
pastors of the M. p. and M. E.
Churches, respectively. .1hterment
was made in the Baptist cemetery,
the Knights Of Pythias having charge
of the funeral arrangements.
The death of Mr.. Thorington marks
the passing of another citizen Of Po-
ccmolOe, who was connected with the
early history of the place. He had
lived tosee many changes and was
always devoted to the locality he a.
dopted as home. His death is uni
versally regretted, and the sympathy
Of the community goes out to his
family in the bereavement so sudden
ly thrust upon them.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY
TUESDAY EVENING '||I
Interesting Plot In Harrington. /.
Seventeen" ALE 4 4 Cat
In Presentation .....

/ William Sylvanus Baxter has reach
red the age of seventeen and feels that
he is a man OF the world. His idea is
that a man of such advanced years
should own a dress suit; if he is to
step out in society Ito dances and
graduation and things" y @n
Mr.. Baxter refuses to buy his son
a dress suit until he is twenty-one
years old. Unable to understand and
sympathize with the difficult emotions
of seventeen" he persists in calling
the boy ".Willie" and trying to inter-
est him in college.
. Willie discusses his views of life
with his friend, John Watson, but the
latter is quite skeptical when "Silly
Bill" tells him that he doesn't care a
snap for all the girls in the world.
Perhaps Willie has arrived at this
state of mind through the agency of
his eleven year old sister, Jane, who
never fails to avail herself Of any op-
portunity to humiliate and enrage
her brother-even if it is merely to
offer him "some bread and butter
and applesauce and sugar."
Mrs. Baxter understands some of
the torturing circumstances which
Willie has to cope with in his efforts
to shave everything just so-a just-so
home, family the very best in town
and clothes just right" With the
polite insight of loving wife and
mother she tries to bridge the gulf
between father and son-to make the
boys path more smooth.
"Silly Bill" as the boys call him is
Indifferent to girls, OH yes!-until he
meets the right one! And he sees
her for the first time in his own home
when he comes down the stairs; deep
in reflection upon the nobility of his
Sidney Carton, a character in
"a Tale of Two Cities" who gave his
life for the one woman he loved. Let
the inimitable Harrington describe the
meeting.
"Thus it became inevitable that they
should meet, face to face for the first
time in their lives. Willie felt that
his agitation was ruinous and must
be perceptible at a distance of miles,
not feet. And then, in the instant of
panic that befell, when her dark
lashed eyelids slowly lifted, he had a
flash Of inspiration"
"He opened his mouth somewhat,
and as her eyes met his, full and
startlingly, he placed three fingers
across the orifice and also offered a
slight vocal proof that she had sur
prised him in the midst of yawn."
"For the fraction of a second the
deep-blue spark in her eyes glowed
brighter gentle arrows of turquoise
shot him through and through-and
then her glance withdrew from the in
effable collision"
T. "He took two steps to follow her
but suffocating shyness stopped him

WOODLAND BEACH
Items of Personal and Social Mention
of Smyrna's Nearby Resort


Woodland Beach, July 13.- Wood
land Beach is gaining in popularity as
the summer season advances, and the
crowds over the weekend are greatly
increasing. The hotel reports a steady
increase in the number of guests, and
the cottages are all filled. Fishing
and bathing are the popular pastimes
and every day good catches Of croak-
ers and trout are being made.
1t certainly seems as though the
business people of Smyrna should
awake to the fact that a good road to
Woodland Beach means much to them
in business way, as there are quite
number Of families besides several
restaurants and the hotel that get
their supplies, to say nothing of the
hundreds of people in cars enroute to
the beach that come through Smyrna.
Then too, think of the pleasure of
closing your business at the end Of a
warm day and motoring with your
family only eight miles to the bay
to spend an evening. Just a good
road is all that is needed. So get busy
SMYRNA and boost your resort.
The largest crowd of the season was
here Sunday. The day was ideal; the
bay was a little rough for very many
fishing parties, but crowds enjoyed
the fine bathing.
| Grabbing season has started and with
this sport added to the rnanv other
attractions, Woodland Beach is fast
developing into the playground Of
Delaware and adjoining States.
The Presbyterian Sunday School Of
Fairton, N. j., came over in Captain
Sutton's yacht on Thursday and held

Exercises to Help Posture

the shoulder down BY the muscles
attaching the shoulder blade to
the chest, instead Of restricting
the contraction to the abdominal
muscles.
d DR.. M. Forester Brown British
Medical JournaD attaches great
Importance to single leg raising
for the abdominal muscles.
To do this, lie on back, draw
one foot up and rest it flat on
the table. or couch. Raise the OPP
posite leg slowly, keeping the
knee straight. Lower slowly.
Lifting both legs at once tends to
increase the hollow in the loin
too much. Repeat three times,
morning and evening.
It Is an error to twist sideways
and wiggIe when raising the leg.
Another valuable exercise is
notwithstanding Lie on back,
press the small OF the back
against the table or couch as
much as possible, by lifting the
lowerInost end Of the spine with
the muscles of the bullock, and
contracting the abdominal mus
cles.
1t is an error in attempting this
exercise to lift the spine in the
loin region instead of at the bot.
tom, coming back to rest by
spasmodic contraction of the
back muscles instead Of by simple
relaxation.

swell and sink slowly IKE 1 bal.

swell and sink slowly Ike bal.
loon.
1t is often Of highest import
ance to stretch the muscles at
the sides Of the abdomen. To do
this lie on the back, slowly shrug
up one shoulder, keeping the ell
bow straight and pushing from
the arm until a strain is felt in
the side between the ribs and the
hip bone. Slowly relax, If pos
sfbIe leaving the ribs up while
the shoulder sinks down. This
should be done three times each
side, and then three times both
together.
To exercise the. muscles Of the
neck bring the ear to meet the
shoulder, bending over sideways
and projecting the shoulder for
wards first on one side and then
on the other. This, however, does
not take the place Of the pre-.
ceding exercise.
Or, to exercise the lateral alb
domina1 muscles, lie on back,
draw up hip toward shoulder.
Slowly relax. This should be
practised for both sides equally.
It is fault simply to draw
