4/24 Update:

Today, we share the most exciting news yet! The Museum of Chincoteague Island has the Beebe Ranch under contract!

This is a dream come true! It absolutely could not of happened without YOU!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We are planning to work as hard as possible to continue to raise every penny needed before the closing date.

When we reached $317,000 , David Landsberger offered a matching grant, if we raise a $100,000 more he will match it! We are right in the middle of this challenge with $375,000 having been raised so far!

If you haven’t donated yet, and are able to, this is your call to action! We need your help. Every dollar will be doubled!

Time Machine: 100 years ago this week in Pocomoke's newspaper, 1943, 1989, 1935, 1979, 2002.

Note (article below): Declamation requires students to select a speech that was delivered in public and perform an excerpt of that speech to an audience.

(Article below- Cringe alert!) Is publishing allegations from a speaker who is soliciting financial contributions from those attending, and who is also selling a book, a legitimate news story for any section of the newspaper? And this article was given top of the page front page placement. Also, the article writer seems to be interjecting personal opinion or gullibility as news.

(Article below) Racial characterizations were common during this era both in small town and large city newspapers. Does this article stray from a factual news account to a hint of endorsing a sentence of constitutionally banned cruel and unusual punishment?

September, 1943

(The circus in Crisfield that's mentioned in this article had a tie-in with an incident involving a future President of the United States. It's explained in the item that follows this one.)
