Century Club To Give
Entertainment
Miss Marian Everts, of Granville,
N Y, now engaged in teaching dra-
matte art in Hagerstown, Md,
graduate of Leland Power School of
Expression of Boston, will give an
evening of entertainment to the
public in the Harrington New Cen
tury Club Auditorium on Tuesday
evening, March %, for the benefit
of Mrs. 7. l.. Wingate's team OF
Century Club workers. Miss Everts
comes through the courtesy of Miss
Caroline Redden, of Denton, Md,
who will be remembered as super
intendent of Chautauqua here in
1928. Miss Everts is highly recon-
mended and it is hoped many will
avail themselves OF hearing her.
She assumes humorous and pathetic
roles in turn; sometimes as a boy
struggling in the throes of a first
love, then as a hard working, mis-
treated Irish washer-Woman; again
as a plaintive sick child; lady Of
style and fashion viewing an art eX-
hibit without any appreciation IN
her soul but with much upon her
lips; a king or queen finding out
the meaning of love; a French aris-
tocrat condemned to death, or as
his frivolous and erring wife, also
as saleslady in a flower shop with
the psychology of each of her
customers at her finger tips. She is
equally good and charming in all.

Three Alarms Call Out Lower
Delaware Fire Companies
A spectacular midnight blaze,
discovered by State Trooper O'Neal,
working ont from Bridgeville Police
Station, brought out three fire COM
panies in this section to fight the
confagration. After repeated efforts
on the part of Private O'Neal to
locate the fire through the tele-
phone exchanges at Bridgeville,
! Greenwood and Harrington, he was
informed by the Greenwood opera
tor that their firemen were then
| answering an alarm of fire on the
! Dukes farm about 2 miles north of
! Greenwood. After learning the size
of the fire, calls were sent to
Bridgeville and Harrington for aid.
Both companies responded prompt
| ". Greenwood Fire Co., the nearest
| to the fire, answered first and
| found the large barn and stable
! practically down with several other
nearby buildings on fire. The united
efforts of the Bridgeville and
| Greenwood companies soon extin-
guished the blaze in these two
buildings. The farm is owned by
! Edward Dukes and is tenanted by
| r. L. Tucker. In an interview with
Mr.. Tucker he stated the building
was a mass of flames when he dis
covered the fire and that two valu-
| able mules, five COWS and one calf
were burned and upon which he
carried no insurance. He said how
ever, that ne thought Mr.. Dukes
carried some insurance on the
buildings. The dwelling located
about one hundred and fifty feet
from the other buildings, was un-
damaged. 1t was believed by many
that the buildings were fired by
someone having a grudge. Wild ru-
mors were current around the fire
that Mr.. Tucker aided the officers
in locating still last Sunday
which resulted in the arrest Of FL
wood Harmon, Alice Bradley and
Edward Hayes. Hayes after the
hearing was released on bail and is
now at liberty. He will likely be
arrested and questioned concerning
his movements about the time of
the fire. Officers stoutly denied that
Mr.. Tucker gave them any informa-
ton on Sunday previous TO the raid
about the still or it's location. Upon
further questioning the officers re-
fused to give out any more informa-
tiOn.
