LOCAL BANKSGIVE
OUT XMAS CHECKS
Between $4,000 And $4,000
Will Acrue From Savings
Clubs.

The two local banks, Pocomoke
City National and Citizens National
have been making the hearts of theil
patrons glad this week by the distri.
button of Christmas Club Checks.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 was
given out and it is safe to say that
a big percentage of this will go fol
Christmas cheer. But it is also Ger
tain that holders of these checks will
have learned the advantage of thrift
and will re-invest a part of their
savings.
The business part of the community
will also feel the benefits of this cir
culation of dollars, and trade from
now on will receive a noticeable i'm
petus.
Those with ready money should re-
member there is no better place in
which to shop than in Pocomoke City
and should put their money where it
will get the best return.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
ASSUME DUTIES OF
THEIR POSITIONS
Commissions Arrive For Some.
Others Are Sworn In Jan 1.
Dep. Sheriff Held Up.
JOSEPH BRIMER IS
DEPUTY TO CLERK.

Sheriff Walter Dennis has received
his commission, has been sworn into
office, and is now full-fedged off
cial. At this writing, information
reaches the Democrats office that nc
deputy sheriff has as yet been def
nitely appointed. While Mr.. Dennis
had mentioned possibility for the
place, the appointment has not been
confirmed.
Miss Bessie Bowen has received
her commission, has been sworn in,
and has appointed as her deputy,
Joseph Brimer, of Snow Hill, son of
Thomas Brimer, candidate in the
primaries for Sheriff. Miss Bowen's
candidacy was a most popular one,
and no one doubts but that she will
make an efficient clerk.
Roger w. Landlords commission
has arrived, but he will not be sworn
in till January 1. Roger made vigor-
Gus, clean fight for the office, and his
administration will certainly be char
acterized by the same qualities.
The office of States Attorney re-
quires no commission, but Godfrey
Child, Esb., official-elect will take the
oath of office on Jan. 1. The County
Commissioners and members of the
Orphans Court qualify at the same
time. The two Boards are all re-
elects, and can be depended upon to
continue their good work. Godfrey
Child was ushered into Office by d
most decisive majority, asdr no one
questions his ability to give a good
account of himself.
Members of the General Assembly
are also tried and true members of
the 1924 session, and their expert
ence will stand them in excellent
stead. The entire county political
representation are regular democrats
and were elected by an overwhelming
majority, showing the confidence OF
the people in the men representing
the Party. 1t is up to them to prove
true to their trusts and no doubt they
will.

REPORT PROGRESS
in THE MATTER OF
ARMORY HERE
Amount For Construction Nam.
ed In Military Budget. Gov.
Ritchie Favorable.
ARCHITECT INSTRUCTED
TO PREPARE PLANS

Most encouraging reports come
from Capt. Godfrey Child, relative te
prospect for Pocomoke's Armory.
In answer to a telegram as to a
delegation urging the erection of the
building, Capt. Child was informed
that Colonel Rockford already had
provided in his budget for the amount
necessary to insure the Armory, and
no delegation was needed.
This amount has, of course, to be
named in Governor Ritchie's budget
and incorporated into the General, OF
Omnibus bill, and then passed by the
legislature. Once in this bill, there
is no danger of its being cut out, and
there is every assurance that the
Governor is in accord with the pro-
ject.
Perhaps the most satisfactory as
pect of the situation is that Archi,
tect Harris, of Baltimore, has been
instructed by the military authorities
to prepare plans and specifications
for the Pocomoke armory. When
things go that far, they begin tok doom
up pretty big.
The Democrat has never (lost an
opportunity to urge upon the COM
munity the support of the local mil
itary unit, It has many advantages
which it would be well for the public
to study, and it is absolutely neces-
sary that Pocomoke's company be at
maximum efficiency now in order tina,
there will be nav chance Of failure in
procuring the much needed soldier
home as well as community center.
