Firemen'S Carnival Closes After Much
SUcceSs-ReceiptS Go Far Be-
yOnd Expectations
The fourth annual carnival, given
by the Harrington Fire Company,
came to a close here last Monday eV-
ening. 1t was one of the finest ever
held. The receipts of the week went
far beyond expectations, and while the
work of the finance committee is not
complete, it is expected that they will
go beyond $4,000. The largest night of
the week was the closing night when
the receipts reached nearly thous-
and dollars.
Weather conditions during the early
part of the week were ideal, but to-
wards the last the nights grew cold
and this no doubt kept the crowds
down. Of all the concessions run, the
blanket booth was no doubt the most
popular one and most naturally turn
ed in the largest receipts, about one
hundred and fifty blankets and bath
robes were disposed of during the
week.
Not knowing how well the affair
would go the firemen decided to omit
the parade feature which is usually
held during the week. It is proposed to
continue these affairs yearly and it is
almost sure that the firemen parade
will be an added feature in the fu-
ture.
The local friends ably assisted by
friends of the firemen in this vicinity,
contributed very literally in making
the carnival a great success.
The net proceeds of the carnival
will be used to first give the present
truck a general overhauling and paint
ing, build lockers for the parade uni
forms and build book case for their
library which Mr.. F. H. Becker is
kindly donating to them.
On the closing night several grand
prizes were awarded as follows: Wal
nut suit of furniture, to DR.. w. S.
Hunter, Greenwood; ton of coal, to
Mrs. George Hurd, Harrington; cleo
trio floor lamp, to Miss Hazel Griffith,
Harrington; suit of clothes, to w. E.
COnoway, Bridgeville; barrel of flour,
J. E. Burchenal, Viola, and cord of
wood, to w. M. Reed, Harrington.
