gale Road House" and the Bono
Baking Company new shipping sta
ton. Neither Of these buildings wefl
damaged. The two story buildin.
was of frame construction and wa:
formerly a part of a block of store;
in Harrington.
The reection inf the sky anC
heavy traffic along the highway at
tracted hundreds of people. The
cause of the fire is still undetermin-
ed. Several rumors were around in
dicating the place was open about
8 O'Clock in the evening while other
rumOFs said that the tenants had
moved out during the night. At any
rate merchandise, furniture and
some clothing were destroyed in the
fire. When employees Of the Bond
Company discovered the blaze it
seemed to be confined to the north
end of the building, yet by the time
the firemen arrived, the center front
of the building burst out in a mass
of flames. Lionel Ingram of near
Milford was the proprietor, he arriv-
ed shortly before the fire company
left and said he carried very little
insurance on stock. Second Assistant
Chief Claude N. Cahall owned a skee
ball game that was destroyed in the
fire. An automobile, locked and park
ed near the building, was dragged
to a place of safety. The owners of
the building said they had the build
ing covered by insurance. Earlier in
the evening the fire company extin-
suished a chimney fire in Farming
ton at the home Of Mrs. Rosie Can
non. No damage resulted there.
Under the direction of Mrs. Angie
Potter in the primary department
and Mrs. w. H. Cahall in the inter-
mediate department assisted by the
other teachers in the department,
the annual rally day service at the
Methodist Protestant Church on
Sunday evening was a success. The
services were well attended through
out the day. The Sunday school
showed an increase of two over the
same period last year. TIE special
offering amounting to $50 will be
devoted to World Service obliga-
lions. The children presented n pro-

Monday afternoon both Frederick
and Harrington Fire Companies re-
sponded to a fire alarm in the John
Goodwin home abont-a quarter OF a
mile north of FELTON, along the state
Highway. A short circuit IN the cleo
trio wiring started a blaze in the
hallway on the second floor. Mr.. ,
Goodwin was not home at the time !
but soon neighbors came to the as
sistance of Mrs. Goodwin and remov-
ed nearly all the furniture. The fire
burned through to the room but was
quickly extinguished with booster
lines. The loss to the roof and wa
ter seepage will no doubt reach $299, ,
fully covered by insurance. Mrs !
Goodwin stated there was no insur- \
ance on the furniture. .
