Knox was a scene of rare social merriment last Wednesday evening, the occasion being a delightful party given by Messrs. Aaron Knox and Lawson Fines, in honor of Miss Isadore English, of Perry, O. T. Pastimes, innocent and exhilarant, were indulged in until a late hour, when the genial hosts served the longed for refreshments. The goddess of mirth was radient with smiles, and when the "wee-wee" hours of Morning came, it was with some reluctance that those of the merry party bade each other "good bye." The guest of honor left for Arkansas City Thursday morning, and after a few days visit will return to her home at Perry. Those-present were: Misses, Isadore English, Blanche Alexander, Hattie Herring, Lillie Overstreet, Lu cary Hargroe, Carrie Bradford, Daisy Bradford, Mamie Walker. Ella May Landrum, Fannie Collins; Messrs. Tom Anderson. Lawson Fines Rob-Garrett, John Hockett, Bose Jones, John Simmons, Ben Penelton, Anthony Hockett, Will Collins, John Walker, Aaron Knox and S. O. Clayton. AUTUMN LEAF CLUB. There was a jolly gathering of our ladies at the home of Mrs. Mary Abernathy, 1140 North Mead, Thursday night. The object of the meeting was, to organize a social club among the ladies of our city. A grander object could not be, and need of such an organization all see. The following ladies were present: Mesdames, J. G. Gaiues, Robert Davis, Abbie Anderson, Syl Anderson, Joe Phillips, James Jackson, Geo. Gardner, Thos. Banks, Ed Miller, Fred Martin, Al Henderson, and W. N. Miller. They organized, and named their club, "The Autumn Leaf Social Club" The following officers were elected, President, Mrs. Maay Abernathy; Vice President, Mrs. W. N. Miller; Secretary, Mrs. Syl Anderson; Treasurer, Mrs. Julius G. Gains. Lunch was served. The next meeting of the club will be with Mrs. Robert Davis, at 428, 14th Street. It will soon be one year since we moved our plant here and began the publication of the Wichita Searchlight at this place. When we began, many prophesied that we would run two issues, others were liberal enough to say four. It is not necessary for us to say that our pathway has always been strewn with roses, neither is it necessary for us to say that we have been the subject of comment by the first-while "know-every-thing" critic, you are aware of that. We have silently listened to these and bore our burden "like a man." One thing which we can positively say, we have never yet said one word against any man, woman or child in Wichita. It was not because we had no reason to say, but we "considered the source" and let it stop at that. We feel more encouraged now than ever before and are in better shape the people a good than ever before. In the year which is fastly coming to a close we have published our paper on time; every issue has appeared on the proper date. We claim no reward for this, as we deem that our duty: we promised that when we began, and we are now about able to realize our word made good. In our issue of May 25, we will say a few words to those who so kindly added their names and money to our list when we began. The only thing that we will add now is, that we will endeavor to conduct our business in the future as in the past, strictly prompt and business like. Come to the picnic at South Riverside, on the 29th. Mrs. Lillian Owens, whose funeral Wednesday 8th, from the Second Baptist church was attended by a large crowd of sympathising friends, was born in Limestone County, Alabama, in the year 1830. When she was about twenty years of age she removed to Memphis, Tenn., coming directly from there to Wichita in 1892 where she has since resided. Mrs. Owens was a devout christian and was firm in her faith, having been a Member of the Baptist church for over thirty years. Her favorite hymn was, "Steal away to Jesus." One daughter, Mrs. Isaac Patton, and four grand-children living in the city survive her. Mrs. Owens was apparently well and hearty, going to church twice on Sunday, and was preparing to attend church Monday evening when overtaken by a stroke of paralysis to which she succumbed in about forty minutes. Mrs. Owens has resided with her grand-daughter, Mrs. J. H. Vanlue, for the past four ears, at 630 North Water Street. See the "ad" of Snyder Bros You can find them at 212, N. Main. Our Ministers. A GALAXY OF CHRISTIAN GENTLEMEN. There is no city in Kansas that has a more gentlemanly, Christian and charityble ministers than are those in Wichita. They are all men of culture and refinement they stand aloft of all petty things. We do not say this boastingly nor with a flattering intent, but we say it because it is a fact. Here in Wichita, you can not tall a Methodist from a Baptist, so to speak, they ar all neighborly and friendly and we claim that this is due by having men of education, men of talent, men of refinement at the head of our churches here. We, first of all Wichitans; secondly neighbors; the quietly and peacably every man, woman and child serves God according to the dictates of their own conscience and there is no big fuss or "boo-hoo" about it. We are proud of them and we want everybody to know it too. Odd Fellows' sermon at the A. M E. church Sunday. The sermon will be preached by Rev. H. F. Frazier, pastor of New Hope Baptist church.

At the same time a new 400 horse-power engine and an additional 150 horse-power boiler will be installed, which will afford ade- quate power for the present and an- other addition to the factory, which ‘will no doubt be necessary later on. ) ‘When the factory starts up the first of July it will be on an output of 500 dozen or 6,000 pairs of shoes per day, and the weekly pay roll, exclusive of office help, superintendent, foremen, ‘ete., will be $22,000 per week.

The advertising expenditure of Mr. Douglas is now larger than at any period of his busi- ness, and this is to be still further in- creased.
