CHIEF RITTER RETIRES
FROM FIRE lADDIES
BEEN IN CONTINUED SERVICE
EIGHTEEN YEARS-FlFTEEN
YEARS AS CHIEF.

After eighteen years of continuous
Fire Department and about fifteen OF
the eighteen as its head, Chief III. E.
from this body and same has been
accepted by the police and fire COM
of the fire and water committee w.
@. Cherry as chief of the department.
Chief Ritter in rendering his re-
signation stated that owing to the
scarcity OF man power, he had
found ii impossible for him to leave
his business whenever a fire occurred
and that while he hated to step out of
the harness he has worked in so long,
he felt that he was duty bound to do
so.
Mr.. Cherry has for number of
years been connected with the city
government and most OF the time has
been chairman OF the fire water and
light committee and thoroughly I'M
derstands the business ard will no
doubt make worthy successor to
Chief Ritter.
Few men have held the office and
filled it as acceptable as Chief Rit-
ter and his retirement from the de-
Dartment will be greeted with genuine
regret by the business men of the city,
as nell as from the entire population.
He was always on the job, seldom il
ever late, and within the past eighteen
years it is safe to say that the fire
engine never LETT the station half
dozen times without Gene being pro.
perly at the head of the gang.
TO step from harness that have
been worn so well and acceptably no
doubt gives the old Chief pang, but
he has the satisfaction OF knowing
that his friends believe that what
ever he did was for the best, for Gene
Ritter always did his best at the fire.

FINE CHRISTIAN WOMAN
is SUMMONED HOME
MRS. JOHN n. MURPHY SUCCUMBS
TO INFLUENZA AFTER ONLY
FEW DAYS ILLNESS.

The announcement Sunday morning
of the death OF Mrs. Ida Scott Muir
ply, wife of John II. MURPHY, which
occurred at the residence on the Santa
Fe pike near the city at nine o'clock,
sent q shock of regret through the
entire community.
As Miss Ida Scott she was known
throughout the county as one of the
most amiable and beloved Christian
women. She numbered her friends
by the hundreds, and afte- her mar
riage to Mr.. Murphy, June Z, 1916,
she was still known and hailed by her
friends sts Miss Ida. She knew no enc.
mics, al i IL she had one, either male
or female, no one ever knew it. She
always had something pleasant to say
to your face ara never aught OF any.
one.
Early in life she confessed faith in
Christ and prscticed the religion to a
perfection as near as human body and
mind was capable OF doing. For a
number of years she was employed in
the department store of Anderson
Bros. 6, Foster, later she went to
Iynnyille where she held a position
in Jones High School and during her
stay of two years in this splendid lit.
tie town she endeared herself to the
people the same as she was endeared
TO the people of Maury county.
Her marriage to Mr.. Murphy was
one OF the happiest OF unions, she
took charge OF his home and the care
of his children the same as a loving
mother, and up until the cry went up
for help, for man-power in the gov
eminent factories. she kept the home
of her husband bright and CHEEKY, de-
voting her time to the duties of the
home alone, but the call was too
great, and after consultation with her
husband, she decided she would again
enter the field, in order that man
might be released for the service of
her country. A patriotic motive, du-
ty she felt she owed her country, her
God and her former employers. 1t
was Gods will. 1t was for purpose
and she met it with Christians for
titude.
Mrs. Murphy was Just in the prime
of life, having only reached her forty
sixth year. when she was stricken
with the malady. She IS survived by
her husband and two step-sons, Henry
and Andrew Murphy and one step
daughter. Mrs. Prowail, OF Hartsell
Ala, and the following sisters, Mrs
W. J.. Jackson, ofiGallatin. Mrs. w. p.
Boyd. Of Lynnville, and Misses Bessie
