St. Mary's Church To
Be Open For Easter

The work of painting the interior
Of st. Mary's Church is being done by
w. A. Bowland. The work will not be
completed until the windows are in
place. The outside painting will be
done in the spring.
Eight of the windows will be re-
placed the first week in March. The
stained glass windows will require a
longer time and three Of the openings
will be boarded up until they come.
On Monday Of this week the con-
tract was let for new pews. These
will be supplied by the Huntington
Seating Co., Of Huntington, w. Va.
The pews may be here for Easter, but
if not chairs may be used temporar-
lily.
The organ is set up in the Parrish
Hall and is in working condition. 1t
will be taken down and installed in
the church when the latter is ready.
Robertson Brothers are rearrang-
ing the heating plant. This will be
improved by having better circula-
ton of steam. The floor pipes have
been taken out and more radiators
put in.

Mystery Surrounds
Disappearance OF Negro

Nothing has been heard of Rev. j.
H. Fitchett, colored Methodist preach
er of this city, since his disappear
ance about two weeks ago.
At that time it was feared that it
was case of drowning, indicated by
the finding of an umbrella on the
wharf in front Of r. I. Lednum's pack
ing houses, which article was suppos-
ed to belong to the missing man.
The bed of the River was thorough
ly dragged near the wharf above men,
toned, but nothing resulted from the
efforts, and it is now generally be-
lieved that the parson is elsewhere.
An interview with Harrison Har-
gis, whose domestic relations, as re-
ported in last weeks Democrat, were
alleged to have been disturbed, secur-
ed the statement that Harrison saw
Fitchett in his home, and recognized
him, but that the preacher walked out
and Harrison has not seen him since.
There was no chance, so Harrison
says, Of any violence, and that none
was in his mind.
An air Of mystery still surrounds
the exit Of Fitchett, and it is not
known whether any efforts are being
made to discover his whereabouts.

Too little has been done to call at
tention to the glorious history and
traditions of the Eastern Shore. We

portant role, but not sufficient honor
and respect have been paid to the
memory of those Eastern Shore men
and women who were creative factors
in Maryland history.
The Eastern Shore Society; is desir-
GUS Of stimulating interest in all such
matters and with that end in view
is, for the fourth time, offering prizes
to high school boys and girls Of the
Eastern Shore for historical contribu-
tions. The terms of the contest are
as follows:

torical sketch written by a student
of that county.

its entirety by member of the class
of 1926 Of one Of the high schools Of
that county.
8. It must deal with the period,
"From~ the Revolution to the Mexican

sketch Of one Of the residents of that
county or Of some one very closely
associated with it, or must deal with

500 words in length.
6. It must be submitted to the

says Committee, 622 Fidelity Build
ing, Baltimore, Md.
Z. A special additional prize will be
given for the best sketch submitted in
the contest, irrespective Of the county
from which It comes.
8. This offer Of prizes is in contin-
uation of a policy begun in 1928 by
the Society, resulting in widespread
interest and in the submission Of
creditable sketches from large number
of students on the Eastern Shore.

testants of previous years were pre-.
sented at the beautiful home of the

Water-Back Explodes;
Creates Excitnaent

The explosion of water-back in
the stove at the residence of John w.
Ennis, +Marke street, on Friday of last
week, created bit of excitement in
the neighborhood and spread quite a
bit of disorder in the house, but 9th
erwise did not do very much damage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ennis were away at
the time, but being expected home
that evening, fire had been built to
prepare the house for their coming.
Unfortunately, when the water was
turned off on the occasion of their
leaving home, the water-back failed to
drain as it should; consequently, when
the fire was built, generation of steam
caused an explosion where the pipes
had frozen.

RITCHIE SETTLES QUESTION
AS TO HIS CANDIDACY
BAND CONCERT GIVEN
FRIDAY EVENING LAST
Pocomoke School Band Render En-.
joyable Program. Citizens Do
Not Give Support

The, first annual concert of the Po-
comokc School Band, held on Friday
evening of last week, was a big sue
cess so far as the performance was
concerned, and well worth the. small
amount charged for admittance. It is
to be regretted that so many Of the
town folk fail to encourage the talent
of the young people by their attend
ance.
The music was Of high character
and the parents and friends Of those
who took part had every reason to be
proud Of them. When you remember
that less than two years ago the ma
jority of the players did not know a
note of music, the results are simply
astonishing.
The songs by the girls were also
much enjoyed as were those by G. S.
Matthews, Jr., of Parksley. Mr.. Mat
thews was especially good and he de.
serves a vote Of thanks from the town.
for not only did he sing free of charge
but he also paid his own expenses to
get here.
Much appreciation is also due the
leader, Prof. M. Szeyller, for his un-
firing efforts to make the band sue
cess. It was through him the band
was organized and he has practically
given his time to make it what it is.
1t is to be hoped that he stays in Po-
comoke for long time, for his pub
lic-spiritedness is much to be admired.
The following program was rem
dered:

WILLIAM BUNTING
SERIOUSLY INJURED
In AUTO ACCIDENT
Rammed From Rear By Automobile
Driven By William Bishop OF
Chincoteague Island
IN CRITICAL CONDITION
AT PENINSULA HOSPITAL

A distressing accident occurred or
Friday of last week, near this city
on the stone road leading to the Vir-
ginia line, about two and one-hal1
miles from town.
Between $50 and 6 P. NJ, William
Bunting was on his way home in his
carriage when he was violently ram.
med by an auto driven by William
Bishop, who was on his way home
he living at Chincoteague Island
Mr.. Bunting was thrown forward Oh
his face which was frightfully mang.
led, and the latest report from the
hospital is that he will lose the sight
of both eyes.
Receiving aid from Clarence But
ler and Frank Martin, Mr.. Bunting
was brought to Pocomoke in a halt
conscious condition and suffering ag.
onies from his wounds. Given irnme-
date treatment by DR.. A. A. Parker
he was then rushed to the hospital
where for while his life was de-
spsired of, but latest reports indicate
he may recover.
A travelling salesman passing the
scene of the accident after Mr.. Bunt-
ing had been removed, discovered the
body of Mr.. Bishop lying under his
o, erturned and badly wrecked car
Succeeding. in extricating him, the
travelling man brought Mr.. Bishop to
Pocomoke, where he was detained and
placed under a $4,000 bond.
This he secured from friends at
home and was released. He claims
that he was unaware of any vehicles
being in front of him until the crash
came; that he was blinded by the
lights of an approaching truck and
fammed Mr.. Bunting's carriage with
out seeing it at all. He received only
a few scratches about the face.
The identity of the truck or the
driver has not been ascertained, as
there was no such machine at the
scene of the tragedy. It must have
driven on without knowing Of the oc.
currence. Both auto and carriage
were badly wrecked. The horse was
standing near unhurt, with the shafts
detached from the carriage and dang
ling at the heels of the animal.
1t is not reported that Mr.. Bunting
has been able to give any account OF
how the collision happened. Being
struck from the rear, he was in some
unaccountable way most seriously
and nearly fatally wounded. His car.
riage was torn to bits, and it is pos.
sible that the wreckage Of the tor
may have torn his face to pieces. He
and his family have the sympathy OF
the community,an it is to be hoped
the reports concerning his case ma!
prove to be exaggerated.
