Miss Stella Short, daughter of

ceremony. Dinner was served to
about forty relatives and friends.

planned to Washington, D. c., and
other points of interest was post
poned on account of the serious ill
ness of the grooms mother, who is
in her SSth, year. They will make
their future home on a farm near
CheswOld.
Chamber Of Commerce Talks Civic

The regular monthly meeting of
the Harrington Chamber of Com
merce was held last evening with
president Harrington in the chair.
The other officers were all present
and despite the fact that thhe night
was very stormy, very interesting
session was held. One matter of
great interest was the coming in
sbection of the Fire Underwriters
with a view of getting reduction in
Fire Insurance rates. The president
named a committee, James L.
Harmstead and Harry Tee to inter-
view the Fire Company in regards
to their equipment being in first
class shape, and another committee.
William w. Sharp and J. w. Shell
drake to meet Town Council with a
request that they cooperate and get
the pumping station in first class
shape. Issue order to have all fire
hazards eliminated. Get all the
fire hydrants in good shape. No one
knows when the inspection will be
made and if it is hoped to gain any
thing in the way of insurance re-
duction, every part of the. town must
be cleaned up.
Another important matter is to be
discussed at a later date and COM
mittee of three was named to ar
range for the special meeting. War
rem T. Moore, L. T. Jones and A. b.
Parsons will arrange the details OF
this affair. In order to cooperate
with the Sol Edmunds Shirt Com
pany and allow them sufficient wa
ter to operate a sprinkling system in
their plant. City Council at recent
meeting it is understood agreed TO
take up four inch water mains laid
last spring and put down inch
mains out as far as the manufactur-
ing plant.
