HARRINGTON.

VITA the cool crisp weather Of fan
Harrington is taking on a more active
business movement, and the result Of the
high prices in tomatoes is shown in the
shopping at the stores. This is done
very largely by the women folks, who
come to Harrington in the afternoons,
while the men folks are huslking the
large corn crops, and preparing the land
to be seeded with wheat, and Of this crop
there will be an unusual large acreage
sown this fall. The price is now about
$3.50 per bushel, and many believe that
it win reach the 50 mark before next
summer.
The Kent Gun Club has had a very
satisfactory year so far, and there has
been an interest far beyond that expect
ed when the organizers started the sport
at Harrington.
Horse racing appeal sto most people,
and Harrington has had a fine quality Of
racing during the summer just passed.
One Of the causes Of this was the fact
that the horses were owned largely by
local people and friends from neighboring
towns in Kent and Sussex counties, and
this made the contests more interesting.
The owners of the track hope to have a
season during 1917 which will attract all
lovers Of horses and horse racing by it's
honest conduct and by the closeness Of
racing.
The cunning season will be at hand.
but until the election is over there will
not be much cunning done. except for
votes.
