Wheat threshing started in this
section yesterday but many of the
farmers are disappointed with the
price which is said to be about 80
cents per bushel.
Many of the local citizens are very
much wrought up over an article ap-
pearing in the Wilmington papers
and supposed to have been written
by the Milford correspondent. In his
article he said that a big celebration
was being arranged for one of their
citizens who was with the Byrd Ex
pedition and that his parents resided
near Harrington. We will attempt
to correctly inform those that do not
know. Harrington is not a suburb
of Milford and Mr.. and Mrs. E. f.
Thawley, parents of Albert ThaWley,
reside on Dorman street, this town,
and Albert Thawley, the young man
in question, is a real estate owner in
the town of Harrington. This is a
repitition of articles of this nature.
Some few years ago in speaking of
the great Kent & Sussex Fair, this
correspondent spoke of it as being
near Milford, as a matter of fact the
fair grounds join the city limits of
Harrington.
