J. II. Mead has laid off and had plated an
other addition to Wichita. The addition lies
east of the railroad track and is subdivided in
large lots. some of which are 300N;i00 feet and
are intended solel, for residences. This was
wise upon the part Of Mr. NJ. The lots in
town are too small TO bate homes upon and
the purchase of half dozen lots together is al
most an impossibility, besides such transac-
ton involves the expenditure of a small for
tune. Lots in the new addition are held at
very reasonable prices. In this Mr.. Mead has
shown commendable foresight.

The Faith in the Future Of Wichita.

The faith i'm Wichita is complete. The pres
ent prosperity of any given enterprise, as well
as its permanent success depends in a much
larger degree upon the faith of its founders
than many without reflection would suppose.
Equally applicable and true is this proposition
in the enterprise ofbuildng a town or found
Ing city. Location, surroundings and propi-
tious circumstances are valuable auXilliaries
in stimulating the growth of a tom and IN
centering trade, yet in the absence of that sub
stantial enterprise begotten of faith, many an
embryo metropolis has fallen beneath the chill
ing shadow of rival to drag out sickly and
strained existence. Let the point but be fully
conceded by those interested, rs well as by the
outside world, that given town is destined
to something more than ordinary and the fact
becomes half established at once. This is the
satisfactory position,o of Wichita to-day. a status
she has held from the first. Her proprietors,
business men, and her inhabitants are not only
thoroughly imbued with this faith, and thus
talk, but every action and every Improvement
made is basedupon the idea, springing from
a deeply grounded conviction, of y big future
for Wichita. And this faith is daily strength
men and close observers living in other portions
of the state and in other states east of Us. We
do not deny that Wichita attracts her share of
that class of foreign spectators who come with
their money to dead-beat harvest from the
necessities oftheir more unfortunate neighbors.
but so irresistible is the influence of the faith
of our people that the floating character often
makes preparations for permanent abiding
place. In short, there can be nothing discern
ed in the immediate future discouraging for
Wichita. while if she but holds on to her pres
ent prosperous course for two or three years
longer she need fear no reaction as to her rela-
tive importance, no rial as the future city of
this great valley. We will. then, hold fast TO
the faith that abidcs within Us, even should
we DE unable to give reason for II other than
the pointing of the finger to our position upon
the map, and TO the hundreds of thousands of
rich acres that surround us in all directions.
