with equipment, men and band. ThC
company was represented at Hartly
last night and will go to SelbyvillC
on Friday evening. Next week, il
addition to the State Convention
trip, they will parade at Federals-
burg on Tuesday night, and will
aid Dover in their parade on Fri
day evening, July 9th. The cleo
ton of delegates to the State Con-
vention resulted as follows: F. H
VanGesel, j. w. Greenlee and H. c.
Tee; alternates, J. w. Sheldrake, S.
M. Williams and Theodore Harring-
ton. The delegates have not been
instructed to support anyone in par
ticular but they are highly in favor
of adopting a policy of advancing
the State vice-president to the presi-
dents chair and will no doubt sup
port movement of this kind. The
local carnival closed last Saturday
evening and despite the fact that
rain threatened on several occas-
sions, it was a decided success. An
accurate report of the affair cannot
be made until all merchandise has
been returned and all bills paid.
The Carnival Committee is fast
completing its work and will be
able to make a report in a short
time. Carpenters have been busy
this week razing the stands. This
has been completed and the lumber
will be stored for use next year.
Firemen Awarded Cup
The Harrington Fire Co. was
awarded the distance prize at Sell
byville Firemens parade held last
Friday evening. The local company
has decided to discard the heavy
blue uniforms for the summer and
equip each man with black shoes,
white trousers, black bow ties and
white caps. Preparations are being
made to have a large force in parade
at fredericksburg tomorrow night.
They hope to have the new uniforms
for this parade and the State Con-
vention on Wednesday.
