POCOMOKE IS
DECORATED FOR
XMAS SEASON
Camels, Following The Star In
The East Are One OF The
Striking Features
CHRISTMAS TREE NOW
BEAUTIFULLY ADORNED

In keeping with the season, POGO
moke has been beautifully decorated.
The stores have been artistically de-
corated inside and out. Market Street,
as well as the other streets Of the
business section, have been decorated
with silver sprays on the lamp posts
and light bulbs Of varying colors
which give beautiful shades when
lighted. The lovely scene of the three
Wise Men on the Peninsula Build
ing makes the city most attractive.
The city's decorations are sponsored
by the Business Mems Association.
Still another thing that will en-
nance the beauty of Pocomoke at this
Yuletide season, is the large Com
munity Christmas tree that has been
erected by the town, with Mr.. Arthur
Birmingham as supervisor, between
the stores of Coffman Fisher and the
Atlantic and Pacific. The tree was
donated by Mr.. Will Payne.
Mr.. Clayton Lambertson has given
his time of decorating the tree with
1876 colorful bulbs. It will be lighted
on Saturday evening, December II and
will remain lighted in the evenings
for two weeks.
A program has been prepared which
will be outlined in next weeks paper.
It will be given at the tree, December
20, at 2 o'clock when Santa Claus will
be there with treats for children up
to 10 years of age.
The Community Christmas tree is
sponsored by the Woman's Club of Po-
comoke, under the craftsmanship Of
Mrs. Edwin Birmingham and her COM
mittee, Mrs. Harvey Bradshaw and
Mrs. Garland Bull.
The donations received from other
clubs and auxiliaries of this city have
been very much appreciated. From
all indications this will be one of the
best Community Xmas tree entertain
ments the city has ever staged.

FIRE DESTROYS SHACK
NEAR POCOMOKE RIVER

Fire broke out on Tuesday in a
small shack located between w. H.
Merrill's garage and a fruit storage
building, Front street, which, from
the volume of smoke pouring down
Market street from a strong wind,
looked more serious than it actually
was.
The fire department responded
quickly to the call and made short
work of the blaze. This spot pro-
vides, however, fire menace at all
times, and the absence of that hut is
much safer than its presence.

BANK DEPOSITORS
TO RECEIVE 2O%
DIVIDEND NOW
Old Citizens Bank Has Been
Notified To Pay This To
All Holders

Of interest to all depositors in The
Citizens National Bank of Pocomoke
City, GOLD BANK) was notice
sent them this week, informing them
that the Trustees of that institution
had ordered twenty per cent divi-
dend, payable at once to all holders
of certificates of beneficial interest
in that institution. This was un-
doubtedly welcome news to many,
coming as it does, at this season when
the drain on the family purse is usual
ly the heaviest. It is understood this
dividend has been placed to the credit
of each depositor, and is Immediately
available. These certificates repres-
emit restricted balances left in the old
bank at the time of the organization
of the new bank.
BY way of explanation of these re-
stricted balances, it will be recalled
that following the 1888 bank holiday,
brought about largely by shrinkage
in values, and loss of earning pow
er on the part of many indebted to
banks, this institution, with many
others, found it necessary to adopt
some plan of reorganization in order
to reopen, and best conserve the in
terests of its many depositors.
The plan adopted by the manage
ment, and approved by the Comptrol-
ler's office in Washington, called for
the payment of fifty per cent Of all
deposits in cash, the remaining fifty
per cent to be restricted, and to be
paid to the depositors as promptly,
and as fully as receipts would permit,
from funds to be derived from the
liquidation of assets of the old bank,
which were placed in the hands of
three Liquidating Trustees for this
purpose.
Due to the general depression, and
unfavorable local financial conditions
it was deemed impossible to convert
these assets into ready cash at that
time. The trustees realized that to
force payment of these obligations
would result in great financial dis
tress, and perhaps bankruptcy in
many cases. The plan adopted, there
fore, was that collections be made in
an orderly manner, without pressing
anyone to the extent that they might
be unduly handicapped in the reg
ular operation of their business or
farming operations.
The result has been, that without
taking legal action against a single
debtor, sufficient funds have been col
lected from these assets to pay all
outstanding obligations of the old
bank, other than bank deposits, and to
make available a sufficient sum to
pay the dividend that has just been
declared.
The Trustees of this institution re-
port that there yet remains in their
custody, a considerable volume of as
sets, which they will continue to en-
deavor to convert into cash as rapidly
as possible, and that whenever suffi-
cient funds are in hand from this
source, depositors may expect fur
Their dividends on their restricted bal
ances.
