Mrs. w. w. Sharp Now President
of Harrington Century Club

. Tuesday afternoon with the new
president of the club presiding. Al
, the last annual election, Mrs. G.
Hall Riggin was elected president
with Mrs. William w. Sharp, first
vice president. Mrs. Sharp accepted
the vice presidency, never dreaming
she would be called to the duties OF
president.
Mrs. Riggin, the wife of DR.. G.
Hall Riggin, will reside in Whining
ton, where her husband is employed
as a railroad physician for the P. R
R. Co., Delaware Division, having
been transferred there just recently
from the Delaware Division.
The club regrets very much the
loss of Mrs. Riggin, as she was very
active during the years she has been
associated with the club. They are
however very happy to know their
first vice president who now assumes
the chair is also very active and can
be depended upon with the necessary
assistance, to carry through any pro-
iect she attempts. Mrs. Sharp is the
wife of William w. Sharp, a prom
inent local druggist and besides club
woman and housewife she finds am
ple time to teach one of the largest
classes of young women at the M. E.

Firemen Elect Officers Tonight
Much interest is centered around
the election of officers to be held at
the fire house this evening. At the
November meeting the officers to be
elected tonight were nominated and
according to the bylaws of the COM
pany nominations are also permitted
previous to the election. It has been
limited that nominations at the last
meeing did not meet with the ap-
proyal of all the company and it is
more then likely several more names
will be proposed at tonight's meet
ing. The name of former chief, Nor
ris P. Kichline has been suggested
for chief again, but this same ques-
ton came u pa year ago, at that time
Chief Kichline refused to accept the !
and it is thought he will
not be a Candidate at this time.
President George w. Swain will
preside over the meeting tonight
having then completed his term for
this year. He has been nominated
for another term without opposition,
so there is no doubt that he will be
the presiding officer next year.
Chief Potter is compiling yearly
report of the activities Of the fire
company for the past year, unless
some serious cOnfagratiOn occurs
during the remainder of the year the
fire losses in this community will ;
compare very favorable with other
sections of the State. The report will 3
be ready for publication in a short
time.
