FANCY BRED MARYLAND
TURKEYS IN new YORK

The Murray Hill Market, New York
City, had very interesting exhibit
in it's window recently, consisting of
neatly arranged tiers of dressed tur-
keys.
Underneath these was sign which
read: "Fresh Killed Turkeys. Direct
from Cellar House Farm, Maryland,
to our store" A photograph was
taken of the window and sent to the
Misses Mattlage and Howerton, two
well-known ladies in this community,
and owners of the "Cellar House
Farm" located few miles north of
Pocomoke on the Pocomoke river.
The dealer makes a speciality of
high grade poultry, and advertises
the Cellar House variety as his finest,
for which he receives fancy prices.
1t is to be hoped that the two pro-
ducers mentioned above do not al
low the dealer to have monopoly of
the clancy prices"

TULL HEIRESS
IS MARRIED TO
SOMERSET MAN
Edna Jane Davy WEEDS One OF
Her Earliest Childhood
Playmates
INHERITED MILLION DOL
LARS FROM DIR. TULL

Edna Jane Davy, 10, Cinderella who
inherited a 81 100000 estate, has mar.
ried the boy with whom she played
before fortune flew into her arms.
The girl, to whom DR.. Edward E
Tull, New York surgeon, left his es.
tate eight years ago, was married Sat.
urday night of last week in Salisbury
to Franklin Muir, II, son of William
Muir, a plumber of Princess Anne.
In 1917 Edna's mother died and
she and her sister, Ruth were adopt
ed by DIR. Tull. He sent them to an
exclusive school in Baltimore, en-
gagged Miss Elizabeth M. Dougherty
as guardian and turned over his l.
OOO-acre farm near Princess Anne for
their home.
Ten years later DIR. Tull died and
made the girls his sole heirs, Ruth
to receive $500 month for life, and
Edna to get all other assets, securi-
ties, cash, the farm, which is one of
the show places of the Eastern Shore,
and Piney Island, a game preserve
and hunting lodge.
When the will was filed its execu-
ton was opposed by Mrs. J. Henry
Baker of Baltimore, and Robert H
Jones, of Paramount, near Princess
Anne, a sister and half-brother of DR.
Tull. They charged fraud, undue in
fluence and lack of sound mind, but
settled their suit before it was taken
into court.
The girls father, Romeo Davy, a
successful farmer whose place is near
his daughters estate, claims descent
from Sir Humphrey Davy, noted Eng
lish chemist.
The ceremony which came as a sur.
prise to the friends and relatives OF
both parties, was performed by the
Rev. Robert ellison, assistant rector
at St. Patrick's P. E. Church, in Sails
bury, who was friend of the couple
when his father, the late Rev. Roy Gil
son, had a charge at Princess Anne.

MARVEL PACKAGE
COMPANY PLANT
HASLARCE TRACT
Could Be Big Asset To The In
dustrial Life Of POcOmOke
And Community
is NOW OPERATED
ONLY ON PART TIME

With a holding of seven or eight
acres of land abutting Clarke Ave-
nue., this city; with main building
measuring 120 by 100 feet; with large
capacity for storing packages; with an
equipment capable of turning out
thousands of crates, baskets, and 9TH
er cases; and with a payroll amount
ing to thousand dollars week; with
all these facilities, the Marvel Pack
age Company has not been working
for some years, except on part time,
and just what the prospects are for
this year cannot be definitely stated.
This industry was started by the
late William M. Schoolfield and in
1888 was sold to the present owners.
In 1900 it was destroyed by fire, and
the erection of the present commod-
ious building was accomplished. 1t is
a branch of the main plant at Laurel,
Delaware, with another at Sharptown.
Formerly, there was one at Chester
town, Md, but this has not operated
for quite a number of years. The
company still owns the ground, but
the buildings have been wrecked.
The officers of the company are A.
w. Robinson, President; Frank B.
Sherman and w. H. Gordy, Vice
Presidents; A. P. Robinson, R. E.
Hamell, F. U. Barnes, H. F. Marvel
and Joseph Mathai, Directors. All
these are from Laurel, Del, except
Mr.. Barnes, of WILLIAMSON, N. c., and
Mr.. Mathai, of Baltimore. Mr.. Harry
Fooks, of Laurel and Mr.. G. E. School
field, of Pocomoke, are also promi-
nently connected with the business.
The local plant is always kept open
for the sale of the Company's products
yet these are supplied from the main
plant at Laurel. It's one time valued
contribution to the incomes of the
working class here is greatly missed;
and it would be source of infin-
lite satisfaction could the officials see
their way clear to open up for full
time labor. This section must be an
important medium for the general
trade and it looks as if a full time
plant ought to be operated to a profit.

asked, almost wistfully.

cile her among the alcohol-steeped
melange into which the st. Georges
affairs inevitably degenerated. He
felt a sense of having erred. But he
answered, They'll be wild about you,
Babe You're picture"
AS he helped her with her wrap, he
touched his lips to the clinging curls
that just reached the nape Of her
neck. "Do-do you really want to go,
honey?" he asked, gently.
She turned and studied his eyes for
moment, then suddenly Rugged him
convulsively. Sure I do, darling" "

He averted his gaze. "Of course,
