OPENING OF A
new RESTAURANT
ON WILLOW STREET
William HI. Farmer Has RemOd-
eled The Former /. J. Davis
Store On Willow Street

BY advertisement on another page of
today's issue of the Democrat, the
public is notified of the formal open
ing of a new restaurant, corner Sec
ond and Willow Streets, William II.
Farmer, proprietor.
This is the stand where I. J. Davis
conducted general merchandise bust
ness for some years. The interior,
tho, has been re-modeled in such a
complete way that it is hardly re-
cognizable.
Mr.. Farmer, of admittedly artistic
temperament, has built archways down
the center of the room and also across
the ends. These are of heavy design,
most tastefully decorated, and give a
modernistic appearance to the place.
Tables on one side and large soda
fountain and lunch counter on the
other complete the heavy furnishings.
The walls have been frescoed in pam
els and attractive light fixtures in
stalled. The colorings are a combina-
ton of salmon and pearl and present
a most pleasing blend.
Mr.. Farmer has prepared a most
creditable addition to the feeding"
facilities of the city, and no one need
go hungry while in Pocomoke.

Have you people been reading any
thing about that teacher up in Fred
erick County, who has gotten himself
into mess by padding some of his
dear little pupils? One of the dad
dies of one of the padded took ex-
ception to such familiarity and has
asked the law what it's going to do
about it. If both side don't look out,
they'll each get a paddlin' by the
law, worse than the dear little chill
dren got. If you ask me, / just
think some of the "dear" little cubs
would be sight dearer if they were
given more frequent doses of slapstick
tonic; don't you?
And, by the way, I see that our old
friend and former fellow-countian
Eugene Pruitt is mixed up in this
little picnic. I'll bet two bits Gene
thinks there are other ways of get
ting into trouble besides muffing a
fly ball in that money" game he
played in Pocomoke, years ago. But,
I'll bet again, he doesn't feel half as
bad over that knee action by one of
his principals as he did over dropping
that fly ball. I've no doubt the
groans of the fans are still ringing
in his ears.
But, to return to these dear little
school children. You know, don't
know where some of them learned
their meanness. Not of course, from
their parents, no indeed, they learn
it all at school and practice most dill
gently what they learn most easily
And one pestiferous little urchin in a
school room is as diabolical as a flea
biting you where you can't scratch
And I know some teachers feel like
they could kill him as easily as they
would crush the flea on their finger
nails. But instead of killing the of
fender, you must indulge in oscula-
tion-but, not if it's a girl; more
trouble then; it's safer to paddle her
Well, I hope Mr.. Skidmore won't
be subjected to verdict that will put
more skids under him and shoot him
outside the school room. 1 want to
congratulate Frederick County and
"Genie" in having a man who is not
so modernistic as to forget the good
old adage: "Spare the rod and spoil
the child"

IMPROVEMENT MADE in
THE DUNCAN BUILDING

Mr.. William B. Duncan is making
some very substantial and much
needed improvement in his property
on Clarke Avenue near Maple Street.
This three story brick building has
now stairway running from the
front instead of from an alleyway on
the side. This leads to the two up
per stories in a much more conven-
lent way.
The second floor, it is understood
will be used by Pocomoke's Jewish
population as a place for worship,
and will be, of course, fitted up for
that purpose.
Mr.. Duncan will divide the top
floor into a number of rooms suitable
for most any purpose, whether for Of
flee or for living. All modern con-
veniences will be installed and the
rooms will be rented at most reason
able rates. The whole building, I'M
der this remodelling, should make
special appeal to the public.

~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, did any of you people
have some rain at your house, first OF
the week? Did, Ell! Well I thought
it might have been a little damp a.
round the edges.
Was it one of those April showers
that bring May flowers, and all those
other poetic effusions? That's right,
1 thought it might have been some
thing a little more substantial.
Looked to me like April had got
ten tired of being considered incapable
of shedding anything but few SYM
pathetic tears, and wanted to prove
that she could weep with the best of
them. And did she? Ask some of
those towns in Western Maryland
Cumberland, Harpers Ferry, Freder-
lex, and the like, and they'll tell you
that Jupiter Pluvius had appointed
April his agent and that her first
show of efficiency has pleased him
mighty well.
You know, I think we Worcester
Countians are right fortunate in hav-
ing Old Man River who knows how
to behave himself. You never hear OF
old Pocomoke going on a rampage
If once in decade, it does feel like
getting little above itself, it's only
satisfying its curiosity to Sc what the
inside of the canning houses looks
like. Then, again, it gives some OF
the boys an opportunity to get in q
boat and sail around the lower streets
just to have their pictures taken-all
in fun, you see.
So, once more, the Eastern Shore
has it all over the Western. Never
heard of such doin's over here with
our water ways. A year or so ago
fredericksburg had a small ditch that
suddenly developed ambitions; but
that probably won't happen again, in
a life time. l advise all good citi-
zens to immigrate to Cis-C hesapeakian
shores, and 1 am not particular
whether it be Cis- Choptankian or the
other, where they settle. l can pro-
mise you, that with a good pair of
over shoes, you'll seldom get your
feet wet, but we can also say there
are plenty ways of shaking your thirst
should dry season set in. "Ver-
bum sapientibus salts est"

COUNTY AGENT
GRANT ADVISES
1897 PROGRAM
Provisions Made Whereby Veg
etable And Truck Growers
May Improve Soil
PAYMENTS MAY BE
EARNED IN TWO WAYS

Growers of vegetables on a COM
mercial scale will find that the 1887
Agricultural Conservation Program
offers an opportunity for improving
their land and for earning payments
to assist in defraying the costs of
conserving and building up their soil,
County Agent Grant announces.
Provisions is made in the 1887 pro-
gram whereby vegetable and truck
growers may build up organic matter
in the soil, improve its condition and
water-holding capacity, prevent eros
ion, and, at the same time, qualify
for payments.
Payments may be earned in either
of two ways-by carrying out soil
building practices, or by diverting
land from production of soil depicting
crops to soil conserving crops.
A soil-building allowance will be es-
tablished for each farm. This allow
ance is a maximum for which pay
ment may be made for carrying out
soil-building practices on the farm in
1887.
Of particular interest to vegetable
growers in the fact that the soil build
ing allowance for any farm, in addi-
ton to the allowance otherwise pro-
vided, will include 81 for each acre
on which commercial vegetables were
