Milford chronicle., 1925-08-21
Harrington

No doubt the readers of the Mil
ford Chronicle will miss the accus-
toned weekly letter of the happen
ings and personal doings of the peo-
pie of this community, but that they
may not be entirely disappointed in
not finding the local news, which re-
suits from the absence of the reg
ular correspondent on a vacation in
the. mountains of Pennsylvania. the
following letter of his personal ex-
periences while on this outing, may
be of some interest to the hundreds
who read the Harrington letter each
week. He writes as follows:
The writer left Harrington on
Wednesday, August 18th, enroute for
Carlisle, Pa, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Willard Fitzgerald, who
have relatives residing in Carlisle,
their two children, Mrs Harry C.
Tee and Harry C. Tee, Jr. At Dover
another auto Joined the party which
contained Mrs. Arthur Taylor and
sons, Franklin and William, Mrs. w.
G. Newton and two children. They
carried a full camping equipment,
as they were enroute for Ohio where
they are visiting their brother, Les
lie Franklin.
There was nothing to mar the
pleasure of the trip, except two
stops for tire trouble, and these
were both on the car of our friends,
the Taylors.
The weather was fine and only
light showers were encountered,
which were followed by sunshine in
brief time. Our route was through
Newark, Delaware, West Grove, Pa,
Lancaster, Columbia, York and
Gettysburg and many other towns. !
Our route took us over the National
and Lincoln Highways and the Sus-
quehanna Trail.
OF particular interest to me were
the beautiful homes of stone and |
brick construction and the handsome.
squares and centers in the towns,
each laid off and beautifed with
handsome monuments, Handicapped
with trees and shrubbery as we'll as
flowers.
The entrance to the York County
Fair, along the Lincoln Highway, is
beautiful. The walks are
made of brick with large pillars at
each corner which carried huge iron
gates at the entrances.
At Gettysburg our party separated
the Taylor car going out the Lin
coin Highway and we going north
