THE RICHMOND ENTERPRISE SE 5. RICHMOND, KANSAS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1918 NUMBER 32. Last Friday morning when the people came "down town," a sight like unto the results of a cyclone presented itself. Most everything that was loose or could be moved was hauled up in front of Price's hardware store and other stores adjacent to it. To put on the finishing touches, shingles were carried from the lumber yard to the center of Main street, where a pen was built, perhaps seven feet high.

Then he, they or them, as the case may be, went, with no malicious intent, to A. I. Edwards' barn and led his horses down to the newly made barn. It was a fit, but variety in stock was lacking SO he, they or them went to Jim Morford's cow lot and took old bossy to be company for the horses, for next morning there would be some lack in the milk of human kindness, and a little cow's milk would help to cool' the fevered brow of those on whom this dispensation had been sent. About half past seven, standard time, the ruins were viewed first by the mayor, who was mad.

then he smiled as he thought of how he did the same things in his boyhood days, away up in Dallas Center, Iowa. Robert McCrea could not remember. He got hot, and justly so, for to move a carload of shingles is a job. A POLE AND FLAG RAISING. JUST FOR FUN.

Members of the G. A. R. have planned for some time that there should be a community flag put up in Richmond. Election day was thought to be a very appropriate time to do the job.

A sixty-foot pole was secured and nicely painted and put up at the street crossing near the postoffice. M. C. Carter and H. Peel, veterans of the Civil war, were chosen to hoist the flag, which they did amid cheers and shouts of the crowd.

Rev. A. C. Forgey and Mayor B. F.

Bowers of Ottawa made addresses. Some ladies sung patriotic songs while: a number of State Guards marched up in regular order to add dignity and grace to the exercises. Richmond's honor flags were also floating to the breeze a little further down the street. The town and township are justly proud of these three flags.

JOHN BLUNT PASSED AWAY. After a long and painful illness, Mrs. John Blunt died Tuesday morning, November 5, 1918, at 5:30 o'clock. Her illness dates back over a year, from the constant care of Mrs. Blunt's mother, who was helpless most of the time during her long illness.

Mrs. Blunt has lived in Richmond for twelve years and is said by those who know her best to be a most excellent woman, a quiet and inoffensive neighbor. She was a member of the Christian church. The funeral took place from the residence today, Thursday, conducted by Elder Henry Martin of Princeton, and burial was in Richmond cemetery. Nella Henley Blunt was born October 18, 1871, in Mason county, Illinois.

She was married to J. F. Blunt at Baird, Kansas, on May 17, 1900. To them four children were born, Bruce, Gordon and Ruth, who with the father, survive. One child died in infancy.

Mr. Blunt and his three children have the sympathy of all who know them. Mrs. Blunt was a member of the Royal Neighbor lodge of Princeton. MARRIAGE LICENSES Marriage licenses issued in Ottawa during the past week are as follows: November 2, M.

Christopher Leo Morris was born November 3, 1895, near Garnett, Kansas, and was called to his reward November 1, 1918. Had he lived two days longer he would have been 23 years old.

The whole of Chrisopher's life was spent with his parents on the farm until enlisted in the service, when he went to Manhattan and took a course of training in auto mechanical work. He remained there for eight weeks, when he was transferred to the Kelly Aviation Fields, San Antonio, Texas. Here he remained" until he was stricken with influenza, which developed into pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs.

Morris received a message on October of the serious condition of their son and his father went to him, later calling his mother, who was with him at the time of his death. "Chrissy," as he was familiarly called, was an honest, obedient, trustworthy boy, faithful to his friends and his church, as his last spirit proved when he sang a part of the old song, "I Love to Tell the Story," and said to his mother in a voice almost too faint to hear, "Let's go, mother." The body arrived in Garnett, Sunday, November 3, accompanied by Milo McKisson as military attendant, and the funeral services were held Monday at 2 o'clock in the Garnett cemetery, conducted by Rev. Mulvaney of the Methodist church. A large delegation of State Guards headed the procession, and the Richmond State Guards, of which Chrissy was a member, rendered a beautiful and impressive service at the grave. He leaves to mourn his untimely death his father and mother, three sisters and one brother.

CARD OF THANKS. OBITUARY. We wish to thank the neighbors and many friends who were so thoughtful to us during the sickness and death of our son and brother. We also thank the State Guards, both of Richmond and Garnett, for their services. It will be a kindness never forgotten.

Her parents live near Richmond. It is said an older woman wrote out the checks and instructed the younger one how to sign her name and get the money on them.

The judge also wished to get more complete facts in the case before accepting the young woman's plea of guilty which she was prepared to enter, as the forging of checks is a penitentiary offense.

REV. A. S. FREED DIES. DISTRICT COURT NEWS Rev.

Alpheus S. Freed of Coffeyville died last Friday. Rev. Freed was one of the best known preachers in the old South Kansas Conference, where he spent all his ministerial life, which covered a period of forty years. His last pastoral work was at Lane, which terminated last March, and he with his wife and daughter moved to Coffeyville, where they had a little home.

His death will bring sorrow to many people, for he, perhaps, married more people, conducted more funerals and paid off more church debts than any other Methodist preacher in Kansas. His death follows those of C. T. Durboraw, C. E.

Creeger and L. S. Jones of that old South Kansas, who have died since the last annual conference in March. 1600 BU. APPLES $2.00 BU.
