HARRINGTON

The local fire alarm screamed out
about o'clock last Saturday morn
ing for only the second time in over
four months. The last call previous
to this one was at the Kent & Sus-
sex fair grounds on July 26th. The
call for the fire last week came from
the Harrington Milling Company
whose plant is located along the
highway south of town. The sum
moned was for fire that was dis
covered at the home of Charles Will
son, cOlOred, located a short dis
tance from the mill. The fire was
caused by an exploding gasoline
stove. The mill employees, together
with several others who were near
by, had the stove in the yard and
the fire extinguished when the COM
pany arrived. The damage was very
slight, probably about ten dollars.
