Decoration of the city is well tinder way and the programme for the day has been fully completed.

At 11 o’clock the parade will take place which will be participated in by the labor and fraternal organizations, Salamanca Eire Department, city officials and po lice department.

The dinner which will be served to all returned service men of the World War as well as veterans of the Civil and Spanish-American wars, by., the ladies of the canteen of the A. R. C. will take place at 12:30 o’clock at Strand Hall. The change of the lo cation of the serving.of the dinner has been made in order that the serv- ic\e men can all be seated at the same time. The Strand Hall is a larg, com fortable room and will take care of the crowd sure to assemble there, to * the very best advantage. At 2 P. M. Hon. Daniel A. Reed, a Member of Congress from this Con- .. gressional District will deliver an ad dress at the park. Mr. Reed is a forceful, interesting speaker and the committee feels itself fortunate in -being able to secure-him for this oc casion. There will be two ball games, one at 3:30 and one at 6:30 on the High School campus. Admission to these games as well as to the Andrews and Strand theaters will be free to all sol diers, sailors and marines. There will be a pavement dance'on Maple Street and band concerts throughout the entire day and even ing. Everything that could be done, has been done to make Recognition Day one of the biggest days in the history of Cattaraugus County and a day worthy of the cause for which it is given. It is now up to you Mr. Pri vate Citizen to do your'sh&re. It is up to you to help finance the affair; to decorate your place of business and your home, to enter into the spirit of the occasion, to help .make every returned man feel that the services he rendered for this coun try were appreciated by you. And all that is asked of you Mr. Soldier, Sailor or Marine, is that you parHirippte to the fullest extent, in the events of the d ^ thah^s been f lanned in your hohoy and % Mon of jiei^ceSj yon rendoned your old Uncle Sam in the days that he most needed assistance. It is re quested of all soldiers, sailors and marines that they wear their uni forms and bring with them their dis charge papers. The lack of either, however, should keep no return serv ice man away. If it is not convenient for him to wear his uniform and bring his discharge papers with him, it is hoped that this fact will not keep him away from the celebration. Come to Salamanca, anyway, register at General Headquarters, 57 Main Street, attend the dinner at Strand Hall, 12:30; take in the moving pic ture shows, show up at the ball games and all the other amusements provid ed for this is your day. All Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Cordially Invited Ciiairman E. B. Senear of the gen eral committee for the Recognition Day celebration asks the co-operation of friends and relatives of enlisted soldiers, sailors or marines, of the Second Draft District of Cattarau gus County to the extent that these men be informed that they are cor dially invited to the dinner and to the other events which will take place in Salamanca on that day. It has been impossible for the committee to get a correct and complete list of the enlisted soldiers, sailors and marines of this^district and there-are doubt less many returned service men who have not received direct, a printed in vitation. It was possible to secure from the Exemption Board a com plete list of the drafted men but no such list could be secured of the men who enlisted in any of the various branches of the service. Printed invitations were sent to as many of these men as it was possible to secure the names and addresses. Doubtless there are many men in this draft district who were unintention ally missed and it is these men that the committee through the columns of the press, desire to extend the in vitation to participate in the events of Recognition Day. It will be great ly appreciated by the committee if those who served with the colors in any capacity and who by the lack of records have not received an invita tion but who will attend the celebra tion in Salamanca on Labor Day, will inform Chairman E. B. Senear of their intentions. Army Vs. Navy Ball Game Next Monday DEATH OF MRS HUDSON ANSLEY LAST SATURDAY One of Salamancft’s Mdft Distin guished Citizens Passed Away After a Long Illness.

M, „ With the death of Mrs. Hudson Ansley which occurred at her home at 150 Broad Street last Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock, Salamanca loses one of its most venerable and one of its most valued citizens. Mrs. Ansley, born Elzina J. Hanford, March 30, 1839 to Zalmon and Be linda Hanford at Gowanda, N.' Y., was married to the Hon. Hudson Ans ley when 24 years of age at the home of her parents. Her death therefore terminated a long and happy married life of 56 years. Ten weeks ago Mrs. Ansley sustained a fall which broke the upper end of her hip and she was not able to rally' from the injury. For the past three weeks\ she has been gradually sinking until last Friday she passed into a state of coma which ended in death. With >her husband, the Hon. Hudson Ansley, she came to live in this city soon after her mar riage and her residence here is prac tically contemporaneous with the his tory of Salamanca. She had seen it grow from a temporary camp called “Hemlock,” on an Indian reservation, to the beautiful and progressing city now called Salamanca. Mrs. Ansley was a splendid type of American womanhood. Regal in her bearing, gifted with rare intelligence, a devoted wife and mother, she found her chief interest in making her home whg^ all homes should be. Up until her retirement, caused a few years ago by deafness, she took an active and leading part in the social life of the community and to the end she re-r,. tained the respect and affection of all who knew her. We can say, we think, without overstating the facts, that Mrs. Ansley was one of Salamanca’s best known and most highly respected women. This city is the poorer for her passing. She leaves a husband, the Hon. Hudson Ansley, who is one of the most active and successful members of the bar, a sou,George Handford Ansley, who is Indian Agent for the state of New York and two grandsons, Charles Handfo'ld Ans ley and Hudson Robbins ^Ansley; two neice, Mrs. C. W. Undemodd of Buf falo, and Mrs. W. H. Cooper of Park- ’ ersburg, W. Va., The burial service, held at her late home was conducted by Rev. H. E. Robbins, rector of St. Mary’s Church, and interment was made in the Ansley vault in Wild wood Cemetery Tuesday afternoon. The Inquirer joins with hosts 'of other friends in sympathy for the bereaved family. ------------------ 00 ------------------- W arn-Gorman. Mr. Emmett E.

When , they return they will reside at 149 River Street.- The bride ife one of Salamanca’s popular -and well known womto. The groom is a prominent business man, being one of the firm of the Harfing- ton-Warn Grocery Company. He has also been active in political circles lo cally, being at the present time Mayor of Salamanca and was for several years a member of the Board of Su pervisors from the Fifth Ward; - 00 - Man Knocked Unconscious When Kicked by Horse I, N. Boardman may loose the sight of one of his eyes' as the result of a kick from a horse which he had fed. One ^ of the Sander’s teams went to the Boardman farm -at Randolph last week Thursday for a load of lambs. Mr. Boardman put ^he team in his barn and- had given the' horses a feed when he started to leave the stall. As he passed behind.the team one of the horses kicked, striking Mr. Boardman over the left eye and knocMng^him unconscious. The in jured man was taken to the office of Dr. M. C.
