Nelson Martin died at his
home in this city on Monday,
July Z after three weeks i'll
ness, during which time all
within human power was done
to save him, but with no avail.
We knew him first as pupil
in school and later as an appren-
tice in our Office and it is with
a feeling of deep regret that we
are now called upon to give to
our readers the news of his
death.
Nelson was known to every
one i'll Meade, he possessed a
pleasing disposition, was ac-
commodating and courteous, and
his'untimely death, which is the
first in the family, comes as a
sad blow to his parents and a
host of friends.
Millard Nelson Martin was born
in Meade county, November D,
1895, and died at his home in this
City, July 7th, at 900 a. m. He
was the youngest sonlof Mr.. and
Mrs. M. F. Martin.
The funeral services we're
held Tuesday afternoon at 800
O'Clock at the NJ. E. Church, con-
Quoted by Rev. Moore of the
Baptist church, and was solemn
and impressive. The floral Of
fering and the large mum Der who
were present to pay their last
tribute of respect, showed the
high regard which our people
had for the deceased and the
members of his family.
Six former schoolmates, Fred
Flick, Cassel Braden, George
Wehrle, Homer Graves, Robert
Wilson, and Chas Fee, acted as
pallbearers and bore the re-
mains to their last resting place

JULY FOURTH
in MEADE
The Day Very Appropriately
Observed

The celebration at Meade was
perhaps the most enjoyable one
ever held here. 1t was less
noisy than former events of that
kind, but enjoyable every min
ute of the time. The large
crowds we're entertained as
Meade always entertains, heart
lily and pleasantly.
There were games and races
to suit almost any ones peculiar
taste in that line. Horse racing,
motor cycle races and athletic
stunts for all. Each and every
one of which was pulled off ac-
cording to plan and entertaining
to persons who enjoyed that par
ticular sport. While the athlet-
ic stunts by the court house
crowd and the business men
may have been a serious busi-
ness to them it contributed to
the gaiety of the occasion if not
to the enjoyment of Nations.
But these lighter things we're
only supporters for the instruct
i've program given at Phelps
Opera House in the morning.
The exercises opened with
america" sung as full chorus
by the audience, an instrumental
selection by MISS Carrie White,
followed with a solo sung by
Miss Lucille Leach. Then Rev.
Spencer gave an address, 1.-The
Patriots of 1875" after which
Miss Cora Armstrong sang a
solo. After which came the adj
dress of Rev. Frank Moore, sub
ject, "The Day its early Signifi-
cance. Mr.. Francis Backe then
rendered solo. Then came the
address of Hon. F. S. Sullivan as
orator of the day, subject, Our
Flag" Madam Carter noted
vocalist from Wichita, gave a
select solo.
The Great Western Indian
Band of Pratt, Kansas, was in
attendance and furnished first
class band music for the occas-
sion. In the afternoon concert
was given at the Fair Grounds
and in the evening at the band
stand.
The day passed off full of en-
joyment for all, except that for
those who knew of it, the critical
illness of Nelson Martin at the
home of his father, Millard Mar
tin, saddened the occasion.
