ADVERTISEMENT FOR RICHMOND

Hi Possible the Promoters of the Scheme Would Like to See Every Man, Woman and Child Make the Trip in the Special Train That Will Be Secured Wilfred Jessup Reminds the Club Members That Richmond Should Be . proud to Do Honor to the Men Who . Have Mastered the . Problem of Aerial Navigation.

Will we go to Dayton? O, yes, If Dayton will hare us, we will be there not 100,000 . strong we are not quite so many but every father, mother, sister, brother and the "just grew ups," will be in the "magic city" on June 18 to help pay homage to the world's famous aviators, Orville and Wilbur Wright It was decided at the meeting of the Young , Men's Business club last evening that if a formal invitation be received from the Dayton management of the celebration, Richmond will turn out en masse and go to the Ohio burg.V Go to let the Wrights know they are not forgotten in their old home town and go to let Daytonians and everybody else know Richmond does things. Expect Invitation. "And it is to be expected that an invitation will be forthcoming in a jiffy. General invitations have been sent out by the Dayton committee to the cities and town within a radius of 100 milos asking them to participate. But Richmond wants a Bpecial invitation, so as It will be known that we are to be some folks and Richmond expects to get what is wanted. A committee was appointed and it took up the matter with the Dayton managers today. . The whole town is expected to go, and baggage. 'Special rates will I secured -either on the steam or traction lines. The Panhandle has offered a rate of $1.30 for the round trip, but it is believed a larger reduction may be secured. The committee will take up this phase of the matter and report as soon as possible. To Advertise City. And everybody who goes will be expected to advertise Richmond. Let it be known where they are from and where they are going back to. There will be a blare of trumpets and sound of cymbals. It is proposed that a band, bugle corps, or both, be taken along with the crowd to make music and noise. The bugle corps has made the generous offer of ; donating its members' time. If the expenses be paid. The offer is one that In all probability will be accepted. A similar proposition may be entertained from the band. It Is believed enough public spirited men. would donate to this fund so that the money could be raised without drawing on the treasury. Must Shew His Colors. If the plans projected materialise, every mother's son from the Quaker City will have to show his colors. No matter if he goes blind baggage, on an excursion train, ridea In an automobile or airship, ho will be expected to stop somewhere along the line, pin on a Richmond badge and march through the town with the local delegation. It Is not a money-making affair for anybody. About the only Dayton persons who will profit will be the restaurant owners and If you don't dare to patronise them from the home Industry standpoint, take a Richmond ham sandwich in each pocket and carry a canteen of coffee under your coat. But go--i A spray of cold water, dashed by one member, was dispelled beneatli the warm, bright rays of Wilfred Jessup's an. The Centerville attorney, who knows what's best, and will be numbered is the fold after his South Nineteenth street potato patch is converted Into a local mansion for Sarah and little Wilfred, also the & Company of the family, was like a large sized application of heart balm to the promoters of the Dayton trip. In all his towering greatness and majestic splendor he expressed his disapproval of the Iceberg sentiment. "Let's remember that the Wright's formerly lived here." he said. "They are Just like old friends to some of us. They have relatives residing here now. When they lived here the family was known aa a progressive and highly respected group of citizens. Since leaving Richmond the two young men have accomplished something no other men have. Now, let's go over there and lot them know they are not forgotten by their old friends any more than by their new ones. . Is Inexpensive Trip. It is not far over there and the trip

two Former LtifcT the SPLENDID to call attention to the Cincinnati Business Men's club that visited Richmond during the fall festival of last year. Now, these men came up 'and spent the day with us. They did not expect to profit much . in dollars and cents, but they showed a good spirit, a fraternal interest in the welfare of the city, and contributed generously to the success of the festival for one day. , Now, that is the kind of spirit it is up to Richmond to show. I know of no better way to advertise the city. We should at least co-operate to make the affair the success it is bound to be and our returns will come in time. Maybe wo might want Dayton to come over here some day. It behooves us. If we ask citizens of other communities to come to our fall festival, that we be willing to go to their cities and helpthjsm out, too." . Others expressatne same sentiment as voioedjplJfr, Jessup. It is recognised thatthe whole town is to participate. The Y. M. B. C. is simply acting as an incentive' and to boost the thing along. The other commercial organizations are to be conferred with and business men are to be solicited to go. Let it be sent out In all the press dispatches from Dayton that the larg est outside delegation came from Richmond. " , ARE WAITING TRIAL Several Cases of Fraudulent Marriage Are on the Court Docket. PROSECUTOR IS TO ACT Several cases in which a fraudulent marriage is alleged, are awaiting trial in circuit court. The prosecutor said this morning he will take up the cases - m as soon as the judge is ready to hear them. It is probable that in one or two weeks a jury will be asked for. and these will have to go over until after the spring farm work is done. The prosecutor believes such cases are becoming somewhat too numerous. He will institute proceedings and try to puBh them through. He has no sympathy for men who marry to es cape prosecution on a paternity charge and then desert their wife or fail to provide for her. BILLS ARE ALLOWED The board bills for caring for prisoners at the county jail and home for the friendless for the' past quarter have been allowed by the commission ers. The bill of the home was $406. 05 and that of the jail $790.80. The care of juveniles at the home, who are kept there from sheer charity was $131.25. Some of these children have parents who could be forced to care for them. GO TO SEATTLE. Dr. and Mrs. T. Henry Davis . and granddaughter will leave next Tuesdajr to attend the Yukon exposition. They will be gone a month and have planned a cruise on the Pacific as a side attraction. ALL HER FRIENDS admired her skill with the needle. So, when she was unexpectedly thrown on her own resources, she determined to open a little shop. "It is all very well, dear, said a sympathizing relative, "but how will people know that you are in business and what you have to sell? Advertising is expensive." "Not the small want ads," said the new business woman. Nov aha is prosperous. Call phone

''When the time came for the start of the nine balloons on their long journey through the air.
