TOWNSEND, THE GUILTY

The two men who were arrested or
January twenty-fourth for entering
q tool house belonging to the Mayor
and Council of this city, and located
on the site of the new Municipal
Park at Winter Quarters, were tried
Friday last before Judge Price in
Snow Hill and held under $500 bond
for appearance at the March term of
Court.
David Robbins, colored, according
to Chief of Police Birmingham of this
city, was on watch outside and Robert
Townsend, white, was inside the tool
house when Uncovered apparently
in the act of confiscating some tools.
The men ran down the branch and
fell back of some trees as Officer
Birmingham fired overhead to halt
them. Both were arrested and lodged
in Jail.
The following day Officer Brit
tingham and State Police Pinder re-
turned to Winter Quarters where
they discovered a still loaded into a
boat which had been secreted under

from the Park. The officers made a
thorough search of the vicinity but
upon discovering no further evidence
of illegal operation took possession
of the still and destroyed it.
The two men will be tried at the
March Term of the Circuit Court for

CITY ROTARIANS
ENTERTAIN THE
LOCAL SCOUTS
Interesting Program Put On
By The Boys And Many
Awards For Promotions

The Pocomoke City Rotary Club
was host to the local Boy Scout
Troop on Monday evening last, and a
large turnout of both club members
and Scouts was in evidence.
The program for the meeting was
in the hands of Ed. Ham, Chair
man of the Boys Work Committee,
who, after felicitating the boys on
their accomplishments along the line
of Scout work and awarded, with the
help of DR.. Givans, Prof. Krabill,
and johnson Payne, certain honors
to those who had earned advance
ment, as follows:
Second Palm, two degrees above
Eagle, to Bert Thornton; Life, to
Franklin Rantz; Star to Billy Ross,
Verlin Krabill, Jr., and Dickie Glad
ding; LIST Glass, to Jack Payne; Mer-
it Badges to William Schoolfield, Ver-
lin Krabill, Godfrey Child, Jack
Payne, William Ross, Leonard Flax,
Franklin Rantz and Richard Glad
ding.
Talks, all bearing on Scouting and,
particularly on local success, were
made by Scout Master Fred Hender-
son; Raymond Dryden, who has re-
Gently been made assistant Scout
Master; Griffin Callahan, Jr., and
Bert Thornton.
An interesting feature of the even
ing was large display of handi-
work, the result of the Scouts in
dustry leading to advancement in the
Order. The boys put on an educa-
tional broadcast through temporarily
devised apparatus, in which they set
forth some very thrilling experiences
in the way doing their daily good
deeds.
The whole evening, including the
very wholesome and elaborate feed
prepared by the ladies of the Pres.
byterian Church, was thoroughly en-
joyable and was a powerful incentive
for the Rotarians to continue theil
sponsorship and cooperation.

MIR. LETCHER COLONNA
HAS EGG CURIOSITY

Mr.. Letcher Colonna, a prominent
Worcester county farmer, brought to
the Democrat" office, last Satur-
day, an egg which was something un-
usual in the way of size and weight.
Mr.. Colonna states that the egg
was laid by New Hampshire Red
pullet. It measured 8 LIZ inches a.
round its longest circumference and
2 Ia inches around its shortest. He
had written the weight on the shell
as 8 ounces; but after he had taken
the specimen from the office he re-
turned to say that a re-weigh had
shown 6 ounces instead of 9. But
to those judging the weight by hand
it seemed nearer the heavier scale.
It was curiosity in the way of hen
fruiut, no matter what it's weight or
size.

of Pocomoke City, are receiving con-

sold, $68.75; making total of $547.-
20.
Expenses to be deducted therefrom,
incurred by orchestra, heat, light,
&C., $175.13, leaving a balance of
$372.1O, of which the county receives
one-half.
The Chairman and committees de-
sire to thank all who cooperated to-

everything passed off without the
slightest drawback.

er, but his ancestors had been "sea-
farm folk, and soon he, too, went
to sea and Mrs. Marshall went with
him.
For several decades, Captain Mar
shall piloted schooner up and down
the Atlantic coast, and between Ches-
apeake Bay ports, spending shore
leave at their home in Accomack
county.
Mrs. Marshall learned the ropes of
sailing vessel on some of those
trips, and one of her sharpest men,
cries is of a nor'easter in trip up
Chesapeake Bay to Baltimore.
