will be served Tuesday afternoon
promptly at one o'clock, by the la
dies of the Harrington Century
Club. Mr.. J. VIII Powell, president
of the bank, will serve as toast
master. Invitations have been ex-
tended to the local ministers. Hav-
| ing outgrown their present quarters
plans are now in the making for the
erection of modern bank build
ing on the site of the old Harring-
ton Hotel, which property will be
raZed in the near future to make
way for the new building, which
will be of the most modern type.

needs of the community for the
next fifty years.
