Harrington

One Of the saddest deaths to re-
cord in this section for some time is
that of Alvin Moore, age 45 years.
The community will miss him in
many ways. First of all that of his
profession as painter and decorator.
He was a member of the firm of Cal
loway and Moore. The Harrington
Band will also miss him, very seld-
ON was he absent from a rehearsal
being a tireless worker to master
the snare drum. He was also handy
with string instruments and played
with the Intersection Quartet. His
death was a complete shock to the
community as. very few people knew
he was sick, in fact he had been on
a job just few days previous to his
illness when he developed bronchit-
is, effecting a gland and later deVel-
oping into pneumonia. Members of
the Harrington Band acted as pail
bearers and members of Harrington
Council, No. 4, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, were
in attendance. The funeral services
were conducted from the home last
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in
charge of Rev. E. H. Collins, pastor
of the local NJ. E. Church. Interment
was made in Hollywood cemetery.
The deceased is survived by wild
ow, Mrs. Patosi Moore, and three
children, Emile Moore, Margaret
Moore and Pearl Moore, all of Har-
rington. In addition to an aged mo-
ther he is also survived by the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters, Mrs.
Virginia Clarkson, Mrs. Mary
Clarkson and Walter Moore of Har-
rington; Mrs. Hettie Warren, Ches-
ter, Pa; Mrs. Anna Wyatt of Will
mington; Mrs. Irena Raughley, Eel
ton, and William G. Moore, Bridge
vile.

of the oldest and probably one of the

subject. A. B. Thomas spoke at
length on International Questions.
He said that of the Gallileans in
Palestine, 10 per cent were Jews, 20
per cent were Christians and 65 per
cent were Moselums. He closed his
remarks and then introduced a stunt
to get acquainted. Miss Lucy Con-
/ well. Kent county chairman of dra=
matics, spoke on her work and said

Building Repairs Stopped
Since the ]. W. Crooks stores mo-
we'd into the new building recently
finished by Mrs. F. Brown smith,
their former quarters separated
from the Peoples Bank by an alley
and owned by A. Doctor, were be-
ing repaired. It is one Of the OLD
buildings of the town Of frame con-
struction and was built when there
was no thought of State highway
running through the town, the re-
sult is that this building together
with others south of it are too close
to the highway. The permanent
buildings or those built Of brick are
located on building line about ten
feet further back from the highway
It was reported that the State High
wav Department had issued an or
der that repairs could not be made
to the building on the present build
ing line. The work of repairing the
building is now at a standstill until
the matter can be cleared up to the
satisfaction of all.

Great excitement prevailed here
last week when the first Of two fire
calls sounded here during the month
of February. Fortunately no damage
resulted. The first call came from
the home Of Harrington Truitt on
Fleming street, when a gasoline
stove flooded. The fire was out be-
fore the firemen left their quarters.
The second call came early Sunday
morning for a chimney fire at the
home of Hasty Porter about mile
