On Tuesday, September Is, Mrs.
Annie Goodwin Harrington, wife of
Robert NJ. Harrington, passed away.
Her death was due to a cOmplica-
tion of diseases. She had been an in
valid for thirteen years and suffer
ed greatly most of the time. She
was the object of the tenderest So
licitude and constant devotion of
her husband, who ministered to her
needs faithfully until the end.
All that medical skill could do or
loving thought could devise was
done to alleviate her suffering. Mrs.
Harrington was a member of Trim
ity NJ. E. Church and the Willing
Workers Bible class and was held
in high esteem in the community.
Funeral services were held at her
home on Friday afternoon.
Rev. N. C. Benson officiated at the
services and the choir sang apprO-
pirate selections.
The floral offerings were beauti-
full. Mrs. Harrington was 81 years
of age and is survived by her hus-
band, r. NJ. Harrington; her mother
Mrs. John Goodwin, a sister, Miss
Sarah Goodwin, three brothers, John,
James and Benjamin Goodwin, of
Dover, a step-daughter, Mrs. Raugh-
ley Slaughter of Frederick.
Interment was made in Barratt's
cemetery.
The public is cordially invited to
be present at the laying of the cor

Our baseball fans were disap-
pointed last Saturday. The manager
was unable to get a team here.
Lewes, Milton and Harrington were
asked but had excuses, probably be-
cause Frederica beat Denton the
previous Saturday, 4 to 2, with II
year-Old Bill Garbutt ON the mound.
Bill pitched a wonderful game. He
has since entered the University of
Delaware where we are confident he
will make good in his studies as
well as sports.
