Firemen's Carnival Draws Large
Crowd

Despite the threatening weather
which has lowered over this section
ever since the opening of the fire
mems carnival here last Thursday
evening, large crowds are in atten-
dance and are patronizing the Ciffer-
ent attractions. The basket of gro
ceries donated by J. w. Crook Stores
on Thursday evening was awarded to
A. B. Parsons. The basket of grocer
les donated by the American Stores
on Friday night was awarded to
Harry Morris, and the Perfection
oil heater donated by the Harring-
ton Hardware Company on Saturday
evening was awarded to Wilford
Hughes. The local business places
have contributed enough prizes to
make awards each and every night
this week. The carnival will continue
all this week with the big firemen's
parade on Thursday night at Z p. m.
Chicken salad and fried oysters will
be served on the carnival grounds by
the Review of Maccabees. They are
doing this work for the firemen.
Harrington School Crowded;
Congestion Relieved With
Portable Schools
Some school children are happy
while others are sad for school days
began in earnest here on Tuesday
for another term. The pupils from
the 7th to the 18th grade, registered
Saturday and the pupils from the 1st
to the 9th grades registered on Mon
day. All new pupils must present a
certificate of birth. Probably twenty
five or thirty new scholars will en-
roll in the first grade this term. The
new school building erected several
years ago has become Overcrowded
and the local school authorities have
endeavored to relieve this situation
somewhat by securing two portable
school buildings which will be plac-
ed on the school campus for some of
the grades.
