FATAL ACCIDENT
NEAR WESTOVER
JUNCT. KILLS One
S. l.. DericksOn Killed When Car
Crashed Into Poll. Two 9th
ers Injured.
DECEASED MAN SON
OF REV. E. L. DERICKSON

An auto accident which resulted in
the death of one man and serious in
jury of two others, occurred at $50
P. M, on Wednesday last, at the
curve on the State road about half a
mile north Of what is known as West
over Junction.
Samuel L. Derickson, of Salisbury,
Robert Bishop, and his son, Carl
Bishop, of near Pittsvile. were in a
Ford coupe driving toward Princess
Anne. When they reached the first
curve, turning to the right, after
leaving the Junction" they attempt
ed to pass, so it is reported, three
trucks also going north, the three be-
ing close to one another.
Evidently the driver lost control
of bis car and crashed into a tele-
phone pole, the impact breaking it
off about 6 or feet from the ground,
and also swapping two or three cross
arms. The car then catapulted to a
stone abutment and landed on top of
this.
The men at the trucks immediate
ly went to the assistance of those in
the wrecked car, when it was found
Mr.. Derrickson had been instantly
killed, and the other two men injur-
ed but not fatally. All three were
then carried to Salisbury and the two
wounded men placed in the hospital,
where they are reported to be get
ting on as well as could be expected.
DR.. Lankford of Princess Anne, rem
dered first aid. NJ
Just how any of the three escaped
with their lives, is a mystery. The
car body was mashed so completely
that it would seem impossible to sur
vive the impact.
Mr.. Derrickson was the son of the
Rev. E. l.. Derrickson, who some years
ago, served several charges in this
neighborhood, and is well known in
this vicinity. Inquest over the body
of the deceased was held in Princess
Anne.

mistake in judging distance and speed
Of the approaching car, as Mr.. Gil

The fact that both machines were
successful in veering away from each
other, prevented more disastrous
collision. Both cars were badly dam
aged, but no one was injured.

WOMANS CLUB PLAN TO
PROMOTE XMAS TREE
Recent Activities Of The Local
Organization. Thanksgiv-
ing Pageant. D.

On November 18th the. regular
meeting of the Woman's Club, this
city, was dispensed with and in its
stead there was presented at the EN-
pire Theatre Thanksgiving Pag-
cant, under the direction of Mrs. B.
T. Dryden, chairman Of the Fine Arts
committee of the Club. "
The first scene depicted the first
Pilgrim Thanksgiving with Governor
Bradford as the centre figure pro-
claiming the Day. All were in Colon
ial costume which gave the scene the
proper setting. II.
The four scenes which followed de-
picted the crucial times in our coun-
try's history dating from the Pilgrim
days to the present day.
| Pageantry is a departure from the
usual in this community but most
enjoyable and informative one.
Mrs. Dryden, her committee and
the other club members who gave to
it generously of their time and inter
est are fully repaid by their gratui-
tous appreciation of the audience.
The regular meeting was held on
December 1, at the Citizens Bank,
Mrs. Roger w. Lankford, president
of the Club, presided.
The program for the day was titled
"Sesqui-C Centennial and Maryland's
Participation in the decisive battles
of the Revolution" and had Mrs. F. D.
Young as it's chairman.
Mrs. E. Clarke Fontaine read a pa
per in which she reviewed the Sesqui
exposition. The paper was an able
effort, as it dealt with the historic,
commercial and artistic aspect of the
Fair, which made it instructive to
those who were unable to attend the
Exposition.
Mrs. Young gave Maryland's part
in the winning of our freedom. Many
of us remember casually the battle
of Long Island and few others where
our men excelled, but when Mrs.
Young assembled all our excellent
participation in one article relating
battle after battle where Maryland
men saved the day, one wondered
what would have happened without
them.
Mrs. John Smullin, Jr., assembled
interesting current events topics, the
outstanding one being relative to
Kentucky's selecting Maryland edu-
cational system to replace the one
they now have.
The next meeting will be on Decem-
ber 10Th, for the transaction of busi-
ness only.
During the business hour it was
decided to have Community Xmas
tree, and to congregate at the tree
one night during the Yule season to
sing all tn old carols.
1t is the Clubs purpose to make
this a community affair and they
kindly invite everyone to join them
in making it a community success.
Mrs. Frank Lloyd offered the use
of her property adjoining w. H.
Clarke's store for this occasion. The
date and hour will be announced in
a later issue of this paper.

LOCAL EXCHANGE
MAKES PROGRESS
in GREEN HOUSE
Flower Beds And Hot House
Now Building. Acres For
Outside Culture.
OLD QUINN PROPERTY
THOROUGHLY REPAIRED

Pocomoke's newest industry, culti-
walton of cut and potted flowers, is
developing rapidly under the manage
ment of w. E. Shears, who is work.
Ing for the Peninsula Produce Ex-
change. Mr.. Shears has not yet re-
moved his family to Pocomoke City,
but will do so as soon as the Green
House, now in process Of erection is
ready to receive his plants which he
has grown at his former location
Nataponi. Mr.. Shears has made won
derful success at this place and the
Exchange is showing its confidence
in him by providing, without stint,
every facility for Mr.. Shears to con-
duct the business.
While what has been done is con-
sidered to be only starter, still the
public can realize the real promise of
the business when it learns of the
pains the Exchange has gone, first of
al, to make Mr.. Shears comfortable.
The old house, long known. as the
Quinn property, has been scarborough
~ put in order as to make it a de-
sirable residence for any one. The
outside is Of the old Colonial type,
and It has been the care Of the own
ers TO retain this, while improving its
general appearance with needed re-
pairs and paint. Inside paint and
paper have rejuvinated the living
rooms, and every convenience to make
housekeeping a pleasure is installed.
The front Of the house is toward the
river and porch will be built over
the door looking towards the water.
When completed, the house will be
an ideal residence for Mr.. Shears.
For the prosecution of the flower
business, there have already been con-
structed 1900 or 1900 square feet of
beds, and ground has been broken for
as many more. These are substanx
italy made of brick and Flexor glass,
and splendidly adapted for the pur-
pose.
A green house no, # x IL it., con-
tanning nearly 1000 SO. feet is now in
building, materials used being brick
and glass, and steel. This will be
heated by hot water plant, and the
house can be enlarged at any time.
The enlargement is expected to be
necessary in very limited period.
There will also be four or five acres
devoted to outside culture, and this
has already begunA In connection
with flowers, vegetable plants will al
SO be raised.
Extensive repair work is also being
done at several farms belonging to
the Exchange; notably, the Yeager,
Jones, and Williams places. All this
showing what an important institu-
tion the Exchange is for Pocomoke
and community, and the important
duty it is for the community to give
its undivided support.
So far as the flower culture is con-
cerned, Pocomoke has felt the need
Of such facility for some years, and
there is no reason why success should
not attend the efforts of the Exchange
to give this service here. Judging
from the extent Of work done and that
contemplated, the Pocomoke floricul-
ture should attract more than local
notice. 6a
