Harrington
5000 Attend Firemen's Parade
Dover Made Best Appearance

For the first time in the past three
wears. the Harrington Fire Com
pany was able to stage firemen's
parade without interference by rain
AS is usually the custom long before
the narade started the streets were
thronged with humanity and it was
estimated that fully 5000 people
damned the midway on the carnival
grounds and nearby streets. The
4. local Boy Scout Troop assisted in
directing traffic and is to be COM
mended for the efficient service. Pro-
= vision had been made to handle a
large crowd and everybody seemed
happy. The local firemen are more
than delighted with the results at
the close of the nights business, the
gross receipts were about $1,000.
The parade was headed with State
Highway officers, followed by the
Denton Fire Company and Band. The
Harrington Fire Company and Band
brought up the rear and received
much applause as did the other
bands and fire companies in line. 1t
was the largest affair of its kind
Harrington has ever known. There
were seventeen fire companies in
line as follows: Denton Fire Com
pany, fredericksburg Fire Company,
