Mrs. o. r. Cutler, also of this city.
The ceremony was performed at the
home of the bride on Market ST.; the
Rev. Wilds DuBose, of Cape Charles,
officiated, assisted by Rev. Jesse
Hobbs, of Cambridge. Only the i'm
mediate members of the two families
and few intimate friends were pres
ent.
The bride wore travelling suit of
May wine with beige accessories and
a corsage of yellow rosebuds and lily
of the valley. She was attended by
Miss Nan Cullen as maid of honor.
The groom had as his best man, his
brother, Mr.. Paul Cutler. There were
no other attendants. Miss Jane Yeas
ey played the wedding marches.
At the conclusion of a brief we'd
ding trip the young couple will take
up their residence in Cambridge
where the groom is manager of the

The bride is a graduate of the Po-
comoke High School and attended the
State Teachers College in Salisbury.
The groom was for some time con-
nected with the local Coffman-Fisher

ager of the Company's store in Cam
bridge.
The best wishes of heir many friends
in this city follow them to their new
home.

SAD ACCIDENT
TO MIR. AND MRS.

Pastor Of Asbury M. E. Church
In Auto Collision Near
WestOver On Wednesday
MRS. RAWLENSON is
NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE

A very distressing auto accident oc-
Cured near Westover at noon on We'd
nesday Of this week, in which Rev.
John Rawlenson and wife are the
principals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rawlenson were re-
turning from a vacation trip when, at
Westover, they were in collision with
a motor vehicle belonging to the
"Well-Made Underwear Company" of
Baltimore.
Mrs. Rawlenson was so seriously
injured that there is little hope of
her recovery. She is in the McCready
Hospital. Mr.. Rawlenson suffered
only minor injuries. He is pastor of
the Asbury Church, Crisfield, Mary
land. The victims are, of course, well
known in Somerset, and their unfor-
tunate experience has caused universal
regret.

COMPLAINTS LODGED
AGAINST GARBAGE DUMP

A number of housewives in POGO
moke are complaining of garbage be-
ing dumped or thrown in back yards
and on lawns of their homes and on
two occasions recently the Cemetery
Committee of the M. P. Church has re-
ported garbage either being carried
inside or thrown over the brick wall.
Last week lot of cantaloupe rinds
were found on the grounds, near the
entrance gate.
This is not only unsightly but is
detrimental to health and the person
on whose property the refuse is found
must pay to have it removed.
The cemetery of the church is being
kept in good shape at considerable
expense. 1t is the resting place of
loved ones and it's peace and beauty
should not be desecrated by such a
foul practice. The persons or persons
responsible for this offense, if caught,
will be reported to the proper authori-
ties.

SOMERSET FARM

Directors Agree To Join With
Locals In A Picnic At Pub
lie Landing, August rs

The directors of the Somerset Farm
Bureau met recently and accepted the
invitation of the Worcester Farm Blu
reau to join them in a picnic to be
held this coming Wednesday, August
25th at Public Landing.
The members and their families
and guests plan to go to Public Land
ing early in the afternoon and bring
their picnic suppers.
It is expected that Harry H. Nuttle,
President and Mr.. C. E. Wise, Secre-
tary, of. the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation will be present and give
short addresses.
There will probably be amusements
and games of various kinds which will
assure all those present a good time.
Last year a large number of the
Somerset members attended and it is
expected that there will be a large
crowd present this year for the sum-
mer get together of the Farm Bureau
members OF the two counties.
The directors of the Somerset Farm
Bureau expect to conduct an intensive
membership campaign early in Sep
TENDER and have set as a goal 200
new members.
It is felt that in view of present
conditions that there is definite need
for a strong farmers organization.
There are problems in marketing that
must be given consideration, if the
farmers hope to avoid loss with
some of their crops. The experience
of the past season should show the
farmers that as an individual he is
unable to change some of the con-
ditions. However there is home hope
through an organization which will
work in the interest of the farmers.

GEORGE EVANS
DIES AFTER A
SHORT ILLNESS
Prominent Citizen Passes Away
After An Acute Attack
Of Heart Trouble
SERVED FOR IL YEARS
AS CITY COUNCILMAN

Pocomoke City is again called upon
to chronicle the death of one of its
prominent and most highly respected
citizens. Hardly had the echoes of
the announcement of DR.. Bradford
Massey's death died away, before the
community was stirred to it's depths
by the news of George H. Evans
death--a merchant of thirty-two years.
standing in this city.
The deceased was a victim Of q
heart attack on Sunday night last,
about 9 o'clock. He was in attend
ance at the ball park on Tuesday night
and on account of feeling indisposed,
he left before the game was over.
Medical aid was summoned and he
seemed to improve under treatment.
He gave every evidence of improve
ment and of being able to resume his
business on Monday. A sudden change
however, brought about his demise.
Mr.. Evans was the son of the late
George w. and Mary Evans and was
born in Worcester County 81 years
ago. AS stated above he conducted
a grocery business in Pocomoke for 80
years and served also as City Council
man for IL years.
Besides his widow, the deceased is
survived by three children: G. Walter,
of Youngstown, Ohio; Darcy B., an of
ficial in the local post office; and
Alice M, of Pocomoke.
Funeral services were conducted on
Wednesday at o'clock from the home,
Revs. G.. E. Lester and John w.
Wooten, officiating. Interment in
the cemetery of the Presbyterian
Church. The active bearers were:
Charles T. West, R. H. Robertson, Will
liam H. Dryden, James F. Dryden, DR..
A. A. Parker and Norris M. Young.

den, B. T. Dryden, James P. Blaine,
Jr., Raymond Dixon, R. V. Gladding,

Birch, and o. A. johnson.
Pocomoke can i'll afford to lost a
citizen so valued as was Mr.. Evans.
He had established himself in the con-
fidence of the people by a career of
honesty and integrity as was evidenc-
ed by his long years of service as
merchant, and by his administration
as city official for IL years. He
moved in and out among his fellow
men as an example of what a man
should be, and there were none to
cast a stone at his character or repu-
tation. His place will be hard to
fill; his loss severe one; and he
leaves behind host of friends who
will sincerely mourn his passing.

T. Alan GOldsbOrOugh
Quite a little stir was created
amongst the local canneries last week,
when a representative of the War De-
partment stepped into the plants and
gave specific orders that some dis
position of the waste matter from
the canning business should be made,
other than dumping the same into the
Pocomoke River. Failure to do this,
so it was understood, would result
in closing up the houses.
Coming as it did right in the peak
of the season, with the rush of the
pack on hand, this demand of the
Government presented a difficult prob
lem to the packers, and it could not
be solved in hurry.
The practice of using the River to
take care of refuse from the factor
les has been in vogue for number of
years without any complaint ever
having been made. The fact that the
current in the River is very strong
and also that the waters are not so
valuable from a fishing standpoint,
might indicate that very little dam
age was being done from the canning
industry. But an old, very inclusive,
law has been invoked in this case,,
which was evidently intended to cover
every conceivable case of using the
country's waterways for dumping
purposes. Many mills and facories,
using chemical solutions of varied con-
stituency, were considered damaging
to fish; and there were also depos-
it's which would serve as filling-up
agents, and to these extents prohibi-
tive.
When the order came to the canner-
les here and in Snow Hill, the two
Mayors consulted with Mr.. Mehers,
the War Department representative,
in an effort to relieve the canneries
from immediate action, since this
would be exceedingly embarrassing
with the season at its height, not to
mention the expense attached to a diff
ferent method of waste disposal.
Communication was also establish
ed with Representative Goldsborough
and his ever-ready assistance invok-
ed. AS a result the matter was post
poned until next Tuesday, August "a,
when another conference will be held
and possibly some definite arrange
ment made which will defer action till
another season.

VICTOR BRITTINCHAM
IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT

Westover seems to be a danger zone
for autos. Victor Birmingham, son
of Pocomoke's Chief of Police, was
in collision on Monday last with a car
driven by negroes who were said to
have been under the influence of John
Barleycorn.
The negroes were driving Ford
car, and, so far as can be learned,
carried no insurance. Both cars were
badly wrecked, but fortunately no one
was badly hurt.

BOYS moved to larger quarters lately
or else the private house they were
using might have looked like tor
nado had struck it. I was in mortal
terror all the time for fear the roof
would be blown into Somerset county,
and the side walls knock over all the
buildings in the row like row OF
birds falling after the first one is
toppled.
One evening, while the air was fill
ed with these delectable tones, l stood
talking to a man who processes to
know something of music, and when l
heard a very peculiar note which
sounded something like what the old
frog in a pond back of a neighbours
house gets off enthusiastically, l ask
ed my friend what sort of an explosion
that was.
"That's what we call B flat, -, ne

He said he knew more about music
than he did about "figgers", and while
there were a great many better "B

was what the horn was trying to tree.
Just about that time, what sound
ed to me like a squeak on a tenor
horn cut the ozone.
"What's that one," put in again.
"That's B flat too, to chime in with
the other one"
"I don't believe it's flat at all. That
thing needs lot of planning down to
make it any thing like flat. AS it is
