VIRGINIA MAN FOUND
SHOT NEAR CIRDLETREE

A man believed to be Thomas Car
ter, of Weirwood, Va, was found dead
on Tuesday by the railroad tracks
a short distance south of Girdletree,
this county. A pistol was near the
body, but the theory of suicide was
discarded and the man is believed
to have been "taken for a ride" and
his body carried to the railroad, laid
on the tracks to be crushed by the
train. 1t seems the victim must have
revived sufficiently to crawl from
that danger only to die of his wound.
One strange feature of the case, is
that altho' the man was shot through
the heart, the coat and vest were not
punctured; the under clothing, only
revealed the passage Of the bullet.
Berl Jones found the body and mott
fled the agent Of the railroad. w. s.
Townsend. A jury of inquest was
summoned and from what evidence
could be obtained, returned a verdict
of death by an unknown assailant.

WORCESTER POST NO. 90
STAGES DANCE Wed

The first of the winter dances
sponsored by Worcester Post No. SO,
American Legion and it's Auxiliary
will be staged Wednesday evening.
October 31st in the Armory, this city.
This is the annual Halloween Dance
which has always proved to be very
enjoyable affair and a special effort
is being made this year by those spon-
soring the affair to add to it's at
tractiveness. Vic Vickers and his or
chestra has been secured to furnish
music. Mr.. Vickers needs no intro
duction to Pocomoke as his orchestra
played for several dances last win
ter and has been further improved by
several recent additions.
Table reservations may be made in
advance and this matter is being
handled by Mrs. Charles w. Crockett.
Those wishing to make reservations
may call Mrs. Crockett at Pocomoke

SOUTHERN END
OF MARKET ST.
NOT FINISHED
Tons of Stone Dust To Compose
A Coating For The Top
Finish Of Bed

It may be gratifying to the resi-
dents on Market street to know that
the section Of that improved highway,
extending from Seventh to the city
limits, is not yet completed.
Mayor Gladding informs the Demo
crat" that 100 tons of stone dust has
been ordered to serve as top finish.
This will be mixed with tar, heavily
rolled.. and when this is done, the
street bed will then present an ap-
pearance similar to that of the high
way between Pocomoke and Snow Hill.
The general impression has been that
the job had been deserted and some
comment, unfavorable, has been di-
rected.
Work now is being projected on
putting the residence fronts in good
shape. Concrete steps before en-
frances; yard gradings; and other nee
essary steps are being taken to re-
store the former conditions. The
square on Clarke Avenue, between
Market and Vine. is now undergoing
repairs, much needed; from present
appearances, this square is being well
mended, and when the new street
light is placed on the curb, the i'm
provement will be most marked.

Seed CHOOSING
IMPORTANT TO
SPUD GROWERS
Seed Should Be Selected Which
Are Not Infected With
Stem Rot Disease
FARMERS SHOULD GET
IN TOUCH WITH AGENT

Maryland potato growers are warn
ed to be careful in selecting sweet
potato seed so as not to get tubers
infected with stem rot disease, ac-
cording to DIR. X. A. Jehle, Special
list in plant pathology for the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice. He points out that this disease
is one of the most destructive known
and that careful seed selection can 60
far to reduce it's ravages. Other help
full precautions are crop rotation, as
the disease is known to live over win
ter in the soil and plant treatment.
One of the worst features of the
disease, according to DIR. Jehle, is
that it often retards growth of the
potato to medium siZe-a size which
is most popular among growers for
seed purposes. Hence, it is of eX-
IRENE Importance that the grower
determine beforehand whether the
seed he has selected is diseased. The
disease usually attacks the stem, the
part Of the plant which conducts food
and water between leaves and root,
and turns the leaves yellow and the
stem black, just beneath the surface
of the skin.
To insure getting good, healthy seed
the grower should set aside GER
tain section of the field from which
to select seed, says DR.. Jehle. After
the roots have been plowed up, the
central stem, which bears the bunch
es of sweet potatoes, should be split
open for inspection. If the stem is
a rich yellow or orange color inside
and is not discolored in any way it
is safe to say the attached potatoes
will be free of stem rot. However,
if the stem shows any sign of black
or brown discoloration beneath the
skin the potatoes should not be used
for seed.
Varieties which seem particularly
susceptible to stem rot are the Lit
tie Stem Jersey, Cedarville and Nancy
Hall. Any further information re-
garding the disease may be secured
by writing DIR. Jehle at College Park,
Md.

MRS. ROBERTSON SUFFERS
FRACTURED ARM TUESDAY

Mrs. Clarence Robertson, this city
was unfortunate enough to suffer a
fractured arm on Tuesday while leav-
ing the Matapeake Ferry en- route
to Baltimore.
Mrs. Robertson was in company
with Mr.. and Mrs. R.'Harlan Robertson
and was riding on the rear seat of
the car driven by Mr.. Robertson. AS
the line of autos began to move off
the ferry on the Annapolis side, Mrs.
Robertson was in the act of closing
the car door, she having just enter
ed the machine. She had not sue
ceeded in closing it, before it was
caught by one of the iron posts sup
porting the upper deck and very close
to cars as they pass out. Her arms
was, in some way caught also, and
twisted in a manner to fracture her
wrist.
She proceeded to Baltimore, had
the injured member reduced, and re-
turned the same day. While suffer-
ing somewhat, there is no serious re-
suit expected, and she is now on the
road to recovery.

OCTOBER MEETING
OF WORCESTER CO.
WOMAN'S CLUB
Held In The Presbyterian Church
In Berlin On Thursday
Afternoon

On Thursday afternoon, October 18th,
the Worcester County Woman's Club
met in the Sunday School Room of
the Presbyterian Church in Berlin.
The President, Miss Louise A. Gov
ington of Snow Hill, presided. During
the business meeting definite OBJ
jective for the year was discussed.
Committees were appointed in the diff
ferent towns of the county to make

cember meeting.
The Club was delighted to accept
three new members and to have the
names of sixteen new members pres
ented.
Mrs. Harry Purnell of Berlin had
charge of the program. Mrs. Bailey
of Talbot Co., District Chairman of
Legislation, gave most interesting
discussion of the laws that the State
Federated Woman's Clubs are work
ing for. Miss Clara Derrickson of
Berlin in her able way gave resume
of the public offices Of the counties
and State-how the people are select
ed for these offices and the duties
of each. Musical numbers by Mrs.
Edward Scott and two high school
students were very much enjoyed.
The Berlin Woman's Club was hos
tess of the afternoon to the men,
bers of the County Club. The social
hour during which tea and waters
were served added much to the &C.
casion.

BAPTIST CHURCH
SHOWS ARTISTIC
ADORNMENT
Interior A Blending Of Color
And Light Making Most
Artistic Effect
WORK NOW PROGRESSING
ON EXTERIOR OF CHURCH

The congregation of the First Bap-
fist Church, this city, can be congrat-
ulated upon the fine inside appearance
Of their place of worship, since the
completion Of extensive remodeling
and decorations.
It is hard to conceive that more
artistic finish could have been effect
ed than has been given by the blend
ing of colors on the walls, and by
the harmonious light which penetrates
the newly installed windows, these
being supplied with glass shaded to
fit in with the tints of the interior.
The pews have been done over as
part of the color scheme, and the floor
laid with carpet to lend aid to the
whole program of adornment. Chan
ges have been made in the pulpit
which relieves the clergyman from
speaking under an extended gallery
the old choir loft. This has been
"cut back, and curtain extending
from ceiling to the floor of the pulpit
makes pleasing finish to the rear.
The window frames were remodeled
to conform to the pointed Gothic arch
style Of architecture, and, as stated
above, supplied with glass which
throws a comfortable and pleasing
glow over the whole room. Illumi-
nation has also been attended to, and
lamps now reflect in a manner to COM
plete wonderful harmonizing in gen.
eral. The work was done by the same
people who decorated the Presbyter-
ian church, and they have certainly
shown themselves to be real artists.
Work now is being projected on the
exterior, so that the outer appear
ance may serve as proper intro
duction to the beautiful interior pic
ture. The Baptists can certainly now
be proud Of their temple, and it should
serve as one of the attractions for
regular attendance upon service. Rev.
Mr.. Ditto and those cooperating have
done a real job, and should be COM
plimented.

up underground. All the impedimenta
of war have not been put into place
yet, but everything will be in ship
shape or camp-shape, in short time
The boys show evidence of the out
door life they have been leading and
are hearty and hale specimens OF
young manhood. Pocomoke welcomes
them to this section and hopes to see

DEATH CLAIMS
YOUNG WOMAN
OF THIS CITY
Miss Anne Grace Blaine Died
Last Week After A Lin
gering Illness
FUNERAL SERVICES HELD
SUNDAY, OCTOBER IA

Miss Anne Grace Blaine, one of Po-
comoke City's most highly esteemed
young women and one who attracted
many friends by her wonderfully mag
netic personality, died at her home on
Market Street, on Friday of last week
after lingering illness. She was 80
years of age.
The deceased was the daughter of
Mrs. Edward Irwin Blaine and the
late Mr.. Blaine land was born in Po-
comoke where she has spent her entire
life. Up to the time she was COM
PEELED to relinquish active life, she
was on the clerical force of the
Citizens National Bank, this city.
Miss Blaine is survived by her mo-
Their, two sisters, and brother: Miss
Cynthia Primrose Blaine; Mrs. John
Robert Lydon, of Fredericksburg, Va;
and Mr.. Edward Irwin Blaine, of Bal
timore. Funeral services were held
on Sunday last, conducted at the
home by Rev. DR.. S. J. Venable, pas
tor of Pitts Creek Presbyterian Church
this city. Interment in the cemetery
of the church. The pallbearers were:
J. G. Stevenson, DR.. A. A. Parker,
Norris Young, John Stevens, Cod
frey Child and j. Scott Porter.
While death is a common heritage,
there is always shock when one
comes into ones own. AS the years
come and go, bringing old age and
accompanying infirmities, death seems
to be the reasonable end of all things.
:3ut when, as some writer has put it,
"just as one has seated oneself at
the banquet of life to be called away
before the real delicacies of the feast
have been served" is indeed most de-
plorable. Anne, as she was familiar
ly and lovingly known, was summon
ed at an age when, possibly, she poss-
essed the strongest hold on life; strong
in the capability of enjoying to the
full all that is necessary to human
existence; strong, in the capacity Of
creating and preserving the sweetest
of friendships; strong in the relation
ship of home and kin; and strong in
the innate power to exert kindly,
helpful influence. 1t would seem that
an Omnipotent Ruler would retain
such to Tighten the dark corners Of
many a gloomy soul.
Of course, her passing was but
merciful delivery from pain and suf-
fering, but that thought does not al
together assuage the grief of her
family. And yet writer has said,
81 believe that family lives but a
half life until it has sent its forerun-
ners into the heavenly world; until
those who linger here can cross the
river and fold TRANSPORTED glorious
form in the embrace of an endless
life"
The sympathy of the entire COM
munity goes out to the bereaved
friends and family; and the Demo-
crat desires to be numbered among
those who speak the kindly word.
