VIII nave nehl Light now
1t is almost certain that the Laurel
Power and Lighting Plant will light
the town Of Harrington for 1917. The
town authorities have been in con-
ference with representatives from the
corporation, and the final arrange
ments will be soon made whereby the
current from Laurel will be supplied
to Harrington along with other towns
now getting service from it. If this
does not fall through Harrington will
not only have a real electric lighting
service. but will have a day current
for commercial purposes. Then Har-
rington will be ahead of Milford for
fair-so far as lighting is concerned.
Had a Lively Thanksgiving.
The horse races for Thanksgiving
Day were put over as scheduled, al
though the track was heavy and the
crowd small. Harrington never scales
or postpones.
Fined for DisOrderly Conduct.
Two men who were drunk and dis
orderly on the train going into Mil
ford last week, and who were located
at New Castle, Delaware, where they
to Harrington by a Detective en-
ployed by the railroad company. The
men pleaded guilty and paid the fines
and costs imposed by the Justice of
the Peace. 1t is time for all men
who drink liquor upon the train to
learn that the public will not stand
for drunken people on railroad trains,
even though they are not swearing or
making any serious disturbance. Cat
tie cars are too good to transport such
men.
Poultry Prices Fell Heavily.
The prices of poultry caused the
buyers to stop buying all kinds of
poultry at Thanksgiving. 1t was
rumored that the poultry packing
plant at Harrington, received notice
to cease dressing poultry for the city
market, as the cold storage plants
were filled. and refused to store any
more. This will have an effect upon
the Christmas prices for poultry, as
by the middle of next week, turkeys,
geese, ducks and guineas for Christ
mas will have to be dressed and sent
to market.
The town of Harrington must rise
to the needs of a progressive Town
Council, that will make improvements
which will keep Harrington in the
front. Talk will not do it all Bet
ter lights; better approaches to the
town to connect with the improved
roads. and a continuation of street i'm
are real issues.
