W. H. STEVENSON
STRICKEN WITH
HEART . ATTACK
Died Suddenly Monday Morning
Last At His Home On
Front Street.
FUNERAL SERVICES
HELD WEDNESDAY,

William M. Stevenson, son Of Mrs.
Alexine Stevenson andsthe late Frank
lin Stevenson, died suddenly st his
home on Front street last Monday
morning, about 7.30 o'clock, aged S.
years, his death being due to heart
failure.
Mr.. Stevenson was born in Somer-
set county but had passed practically
his whole life in this town. He was a
skilled mechanic, and, besides being
in the mill business for some years on
his own account, served as engineer
to the plants of A. II. Stevens. ice
cream manufacturer, and also in the
Electric and Ice Manufacturing Conn
pany. He followed the water for
some time, too, in competition with the
Virginia Police serviceS and with A. ].
Morse, in the fishing trade.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by two children, Mabel and William,
two years and four years respectively.
Also by four brothers and one sister,
Louis and Upshur Of this city; Wood
land Of Baltimore, Ernest, Of New
York, and Mrs. Blanche Smith, Of
Virginia.
Funeral services were held from the
home of the deceased's brother, Louis,
on Wednesday last at 2 p. M, inter-
ment being in the cemetery Of the
Presbyterian Church, Rev. Mr.. Du-
Bose, officiating. &
Mr.. Stevenson was highly respected
in the community; his rather retiring
disposition prevented him from ming
ling with his fellow townsmen as
much as some others do, but all who
knew him will pay tribute to his ster-
ling worth.
AS said above, he was a high class
mechanic; and his death occurred at
time when he had under construc-
ton a house into which he hoped soon
to move and enjoy as his home. He
had built it with the labor Of his own
hands, and at such times as he could
spare from his regular occupations,
often working until midnight to bring
it to completion. Just as it was a.
bout Is per cent finished the stroke
came which ended his labors here, and
removed him to his eternal home.
The sympathy Of the community is
extended to his widow and little chill

BUSINESS MEN OF
SNOW HILL ORGANIZE
Chamber Of Commerce Formed
Tuesday Night-Wil Support
Del-Mar-Va Body

The business men of Snow Hill as
sembled in the Municipal Building on
Tuesday night and formed chamber
of commerce. For number of years
Snow Hill has had a Merchants Asso-
citation that has functioned success
fully when there was a necessity for
business being transacted that was OF
importance to the merchants and mu-
nicipality.
The chamber formed will affiliate
with the National Chamber of Com
merce and comes into being particu-
larly, at this time, to give support to
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation.
William d. Corddry presented set
Of bylaws and regulations that were
adopted by the chamber. A. c.
Humphreys acted as temporary chair
man and VIM. H. Price, secretary.
Twenty-Five members were obtained
and a committee on membership was
appointed consisting of Mayor ]. o.
Byrd, Thomas H. Collins and William
Fl. Price. A membership Of forty is
expected.
The Snow Hill chamber will not on
" support the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association but will endeavor
to strengthen its membership along
commercial, agriculture and municipal
lines

mrs. MARIETTA CLARKE
SEVERELY INJURED
AGED Resident Knocked Down By
Little Boy Playing With Scooter
Near Her Home Saturday

Mrs. E. H. Clarke suffered quite
painful injuries last Saturday by be-
ing run into and knocked down by a
small boy engaged in friendly test
of speed on his Scooter" with a pal
of his.
The accident occurred on Second
street, near Mrs. Clarke's home, and
she was thrown forward on her face,
which was considerably bruised. In
an effort to tighten the fall, she also
struck her elbow on the pavement.
and it was thought a slight fracture
had resulted.
The two boys were the young sons
of C. o. Huffman and Harry G. MearsD
These little chaps were probably un-
conscious that any one was near, sc
intent were they in the sport; AND
they were really too young to expect
any amount of forethought to be ex.
ercised. They were in collision with
out knowing it in time to prevent it
and no blame can be attached to them
AS said editorially in this issue cd
the Democrat, some restrictions should
be laid on the use of the pavements
for such sport, as similar accidents are
liable to follow if roller skating, bi'
cycling, and "scootering" are indulg.
ed in.
A case like this occurred in Sails.
bury last week when an aged colored
man was knocked down by rollel
skaters. The offenders were arrested
and fined $500 and costs each, which
would appear that there is an ordi'
nance in that city against the use o1
pavements in the matter described
unless the justice construed the affai1
in the nature of an assault.
Mrs. Clarke has been quite a suf'
ferer since the accident, but is nov
getting along as well as could be ex'
pected.

for the coming years work were dis
cpssed. They include the organization
of new groups, making it possible
working member.
Splendid guardians have been Sc
cured to guide the girls interests and
it is the goal of the organization to
