HARRINGTON

Farmers OF America, was held in
the Harrington Department of Voca-
tional Agriculture last evening.
Members of the Harrington Grange
were present. The possibilities and
uses of lime were thoroughly
brought to light at the meeting.
Kenneth Hankinson, a representa-
tive of the Quality Lime Institute of
Philadelphia, was the speaker of the
evening Mr.. Hankinson's talk was
illustrated with the aid of lantern
slides showing the effects of the re-
suits of various Inning experiments.
At the conclusion of his talk, the
meeting was then thrown open for
discussion. Some very interesting
and vital questions were brought up.
The various forms of lime were
shown to the group and the reac-
tions of the different types in the
soil was discussed. About sixty
were present. Ice cream and cake
was served by the Future Farmers
of America.
Harrington held it's Annual Town
election yesterday afternoon from
until p. M, and during the short
space of time over five hundred per-
sons voted. Comparing the figures
this year with the votes at the two
previous elections, the interest was
almost as keen. In 1880 44S voted
and i'll 1881 557 voted. The charter
of the town states when the election
shall be held but a question has
been raised about the legality of the
affair because the official ballots
carry dating of February 18th in
stead of January 18th. Great inter
est was manifested at the election |
several of the workers had a large |
bunch of lieutenants out working for |
their cause using automobiles to |
bring the voters to the polls. 1t was |
predicted before the election that |
Collector Adams would beat his op-
ponent two to one and judging from
the official count he accomplished
this feat. c. II. Grant, who was out |
for Councilman from the second
ward ran a poor second to his op-
ponent, Albert Welch, the incumbent.
Harry c. Tee also lost for the office
Jf Assessor. Mr.. Potter, his oppon-
ent, accepted the nomination at the
and wanted it badly and
worked hard for it. Mr.. Tee made
10 fight for the job and did very lit
lie electiOneering. The final results
ire as follows: Alderman, w. II.
Jahall, SIG; Tax Collector, M. T.
ADAMS 364, d. e. Handley 1853,
Ndams elected; Treasurer, VIM. f.
SIS; Councilman second

irant 1876; Councilman fourth ward,
Roy Porter 521; Councilman fifth
ward, Clarence Norris .49S; Assess
II, George B. Potter 416, Harry C.

ion was not even close in either
ase where there was an opponent.
