Harrington and Noble


married to a Mr.. Earl Noble, of Fed
eralsburg, Md. Some time ago Mr.. No
BILE came here as manager of the Har
ringtOn Shirt Factory and took room!
at Mrs. Harrington. The acquaintance
soon ripened into real love, with the
result that they were married Sunday
by the Rev. Moore at the home OF hel
sister, Mrs. viii Hughes, near Hol-
landsville. Mr.. Noble at the present
time is engaged in the brokerage bus
mess in his home town, but we under
stand he will close out his business
and move here and operate a feed
store, which is in the course of con-
structiOn. Both Mrs. Noble and MI
Noble have been married before, each
having one child by the first unions.
Many local friends wish them many
years of happiness.
Harrington Firemen Arrange Carnival
Harrington Fire Company, No. 1, at
their last regular meeting, started
plans for their annual carnival. Pres
ident Jas. L. Harmstead was named
chairman of the general committee,
with the following members chairmen
of the other committees: Chief George
B. Potter. Personnel, LIST assistant
chief, o. c. PassmOre, erection of
booths and soliciting; End assistant
chief, H. c. Tee, decorations and mu-
sic; George E. Swain, advertising;
Town Councilman S. o. Bailey, street
location. The above chairmen will
comprise the members of the pur-
chasing committee. The boys band
from Greenwood has been secured for
the weeks engagement from Septem-
Der 29th to October 9th. The affair this
year will be larger than ever One
feature of the carnival this year will
be the popular lady contest, the win
ner will receive a handsome prize. All
the local business men will be waited
upon for various articles of merchan-
disc that the firemen may convert into
cash. The farmers in the outlying dis
tricts will also be canvassed for any
thing about the farm that they choose
to donate. The various booths will be
in charge of members of the Fire Com
pany assisted by young ladies of the
town.
The profits of the carnival are to be
applied to a new engine fund. The
fremen now have one truck on hand,
WHICH, has pdlu lOI 4LoC4L q AuAu4CN
times over and has seen hard service
and is now ancient so to speak. 1t is
not expected that enough money will
be derived from the carnival to pur-
chase the engine outright, but as it is
very much needed it is expected that
plans will be laid by Town Council to
assist the boys in making the purchase
within the next year. The present
equipment will then be rebuilt, giving
the company three pieces Of auto ap-
paratus, one of which will be used to
cover all country runs and will be
much lighter then the town engine.
