BIG WILD ANIMAL
SERIAL A THRILLER
, Magnitude Of This Wonderful Film
Must Be Seen To Be Realized. i
Will Run Serially At
The Empire.
i
. If the circus may be said to be “The
I Greatest Show on Earth,” then it may !
. truthfully be stated that “The Lost
City” is “the greatest film on the
screen,” for “The Lost City,” a 15- j
episode production, starring Bliss Ju
anita Hansen, George Chesebro and a
, big cast of favorite players, goes the
. e : rcus one better. This sensational
serial will begin its run at the Empire
, Theater, on Wednesday, January 12.
. Deep into the jungle Vent the dar
ing company of players to enact the
p scenes of this thrilling and intensely
. adventuresome story, braving the
’ very jaws of death in their determin
. i t ion to picture the terrifying dang
• c v s of these strange lands, uncivilized ;
{copies and ferocious beasts. So while
I introducing all of the wild animals ‘
. usually found with the bigger circus j
■ “The Lost City” pictures them in
their native haunts, and for the most
. time unfettered and free.
' Hazardous indeed was the venture
of the big company, but the story
called for realism, and this could
I hardly have been possible with caged
' cr tamed animals; hence the trip to
the jungle itself to tempt the many
beasts to display their natural fero-
I city before the camera while the ac
. tors and actresses portrayed the
■ many scenes of the exciting story.

WORCESTER DEMOCRAT AND THE LEDGER-ENTERPRISE
WEEK OF PRAYER
i OBSERVED HERE
Union Services Held In The Various
I Churches. All Of Them Were
Well Attended.
Following the usual custom the
week of prayer was observed in Po
' comoke City and much interest was
manifested in the services from the
very start. The churches of the town
I united in the exercises, the services on
Monday evening being held in the
Baptist Church; that of Tuesday ev
, ening in the M. P. Church, Wednes
day evening in the Presbyterian
Church, Thursday evening in the M.
E. Church, and last evening in the
Ifaptist Church. The ministers of
these churches took turns in deliver
ing the discourses and large congre
gations were present each evening.
Good music was a feature of each of
the services and taken as a whole the
v.eek was one of unusual devotion on
the part of the Christian people of
| the town.
j For years our churches have united
in the Week of Prayer observance
• and much good has been the result.
This year the interest seemed to be
somewhat increased and from what
| we can learn the meetings were more
largely attended than in previous
yours, which speaks well for the spir
it of unity that is found in our little
t-'ty.

MUST WAIT FOR
FEDERAL PLUMS
Only One bocal Place Incoming Pres
ident May Fill At Pleasure. That
of Appraiser.
Unless President Harding breaks
precedents there will be only two
tig federal offices in Maryland at his
disposal when he succeeds President
V, ilson. One of these is that of ap
praiser of customs, the incumbent’s
term expiring with that of the out
gong executive and the other is that
of collector of internal revenue, who
has no fixed period of tenure.
The invitation to renew his bon 1
extended a year ago is regarded as a
reappointment for another four years.
Nevertheless, the President may ask
for his resignation at any time, and,
if this is not forthcomng, removal
nay follow. Whether the incoming
President would pursue this course is
problamatical.
Mr. Mlies has not indicated what
l e may do, but the presumption is
ho will continue in office until invited
to retire, but he would expect some
notification in advance in order that
he may settle the affairs in his office
so this may be transferred to his suc
cessor in good shape.
All of the other incumbents of the
various places have anywhere from
two to three years to serve before
their commissions expii-e. These in
elude the collector of customs, sur
veyor, naval officer, United States
marshal, district attorney and com
missioner of immigration. As the
sobtreasurer will retire on July Ist,
when his office is abolished, this
place is not taken into consideration.
The postmaster cannot be disturbed
unless the President takes him out
o l ' the classified sendee.
The many applicants for these
places are, therefore, at sea regard
ing their chances, nor will they be en
lightened until Mr. Ilardng reaches
a definite conclusion..

v
i The Pocomoke Fire Department
i was out for their regular monthlj
: practice on Thursday afternoon last,
- it being the first Thursday in the
- month. We wish all of the boys of
i this noble band a happy New Year
. and trust that they may not be called
; upon to fight a single fire during the
f next twelve months.
Our people were sorry to learn of
the death of Miss Rozelle P. Handy,
which occurred suddenly in Berlin
op Wednesday during Christmas
' week. Miss Handy was a lady who
f was well known and generally belov
ed and played an important part in
I e\ ery welfare organzaition. Her

3 C. W. Bunting Moved
To His New Quarters
C. W. Bunting & Co., the well
known bicycle dealer and repairer,
has moved from the Parker Block to
, the property he recently purchased,
> known as the Frank Thorington store
house and situated a little further
out Clarke avenue. Mr. Bunting will
continue to carry a full line of bicy
cles and will, as in the past, do all
kinds of repair work. With his en
larged quarters he is better fixed to
look after his large and ever increas
-1 ing trade. We were sorry to lose him
3 from our section of the town but we
1 feel that the change will work to his
betterment, so all of us in the Parker
5 Block consented to his removal. Good
♦ luck to you, old friend.
Mr. John P. Redden
1 Now Has The Lead
_ -
Speaking of hogs, we have another
■ to report. Sometime ago we stated
■ ti.at Mr. Henry Hurley wore the belt
as a big hog raiser, but since our last
issue our good friend John P. Redden
comes along and way goes the belt
from our friend Hurley. He reports
having killed a hog last week that
tipped the scales at the 595 mark,
thus whipping Mr. Hurley by the
bare margin of 8 pounds. Now who
can take the belt from Mr. Redden?
Hurry along, it’s getting late.
Purchases Valuable Property
Mr. 11. W. Callahan this week pur
chased of Mr. J. Edward Powell the
store house property located rn Mar
ket street next door to the T. F. Har
gis Department Store, and at present
occupied by Miss R. Belle Wilson as a
millinery establishment. The sale al- :
so carries with it the office property
this week vacated by the Postal Tel
egraph Company. This is one of the ;
most valuable business sites in our :
town and Mr. Callahan was indeed \
fortunate in securing it. We did not ;
learn the exact figures paid for it but i
reports have placed the purchase ;
price at $15,000.
