The Baptists and Christians of Rich
land held services Sunday in Gibbs
hall, the former in the afternoon and
the latter in the morning. A good
attendance was noticed at both SER
vices.
T. Gibbons, manager of the Connell
telephone company, was Richland
visitor Friday. He spent the day at
the home of B. S. Wadsworth where
his son Billy had been visiting for the
past week and on his return to Con-
nell took Billy with him.
John Dam has been confined to his
home several days by severe attack
of tonsilitis. This seems to be the
season of the year when everyone is
particularly liable to catch cold and
several residents of Richland are COM
planning of sore threats and kindred
Affections.
A. r. Long was most pleasantly sur
prised the beginning Of the week by
the arrival of his mother on visit
from Orting. Mrs. Long will remain
week in Richland visiting her son
and family. Another son, Jay, is al
so guest at the Long home in Rich
land, so that they may almost say that
they are having a family reunion.
Friday, the last day of the 1915
open season on Chinese pheasants,
saw every sportsman who could spare
the time taking to the sagebrush in
the hope of securing just one more
of these coveted birds. The meat is
unexcelled and the plumage is in
great demand by all the women folk
as a suitable adornment for their fall
bonnets.
Save your quarters so as to have
plenty of money to attend the per-
fermance of "The District School" to
be given under the auspices Of the
Ladies' Aid Of the Methodist church
in the near future. It will seem good
to see ma end pa act up like kids
again and it goes without saying that
all the small roys and girls in the
district will be on hand to see what
the old felix's did when they went to
school.
Quite a number of Richland people
went up to White Bluffs Friday on
the excursion boat with the teachers
from the institute. A dandy time is
reported by all who had the pleasure
of making the trip, all kinds Of amuse-
'ments being furnished by the different
members of the party while an elab-
crate dinner was served by the diff
ferent women's organizations in White
Bluffs which was highly appreciated
by the hungry travellers.
Mrs. j. A. Thompson entertained
the members of the Ladies' Birthday
club in most enjoyable manner at
her home in Richland on the after
noon of October 18th, in honor Of her
birthday. Mrs. Davis and two child
rem of Walla Walla were guests of
the club as were also Mrs. Kaufman
and children. The chief form of
amusement was afforded by but
tonhole contest in which Mrs. Chas.
Garrett won first prize, framed pic
ture, and Miss Ella Eggers won the
BOBBY prize, candy doll. A tasty
luncheon was served by the hostess at
the close of the afternoon.
A big crowd of young people went
to Pasco in the auto truck last Thurs
day to attend the football game play
ed by Pasco and Richland. Although
the local boys went down to over.
whelming defeat at the hands Of the
Pasco high still they had all the odds
against them as the Richland team is
practically all light men and most
of them are in the game for the first
time this season and football fans ex-
pect a great Improvement in the local
team before the end Of the season.
Most of the boys who composed Rich
lands prize-winning aggregation last
year have either graduated or left
school and in several instances are be-
ing heard from in institutions OF
higher learning. Both Bill and julius
Hopp will undoubtedly make the team
at Whitman College, Walla Walla and
Clarence Yedica is only prevented
from doing so by the fact that he in
jured his leg in the early practice
games of the season.
