A General and Hearty Observance
ths Jolly Anniversary.

A General and Hearty Observance ol
the Jolly Anniversary.
The year 1884 dawned upon Emporis
with all the radiant splendor Of Kansas
sunshine, and its happy congratulations
began under meteorological auspices
whose cheering influence doubtless con
tributed IN no small measure to the en-
joyment of its glad festivities. The
morning was comparatively quiet,
though good feeling and kindly greet
ings were rife on every side, and the
streets resounded with the salutaiions in
which pedestrians gave expression to
the compliments Of the season. While
no general suspension of business had
been agreed upon, the trading places
were rather centers OF leisure than marts
Of commerce, and the various dealers
we're not too busy to enter into the con-
tagious spirit of the day.
Directly after dinner Commercial
street was startled by the jingling of
bells and the footing of horns, and line
of fantastic turn0uts, the like of which
have certainly never been seen in En-
poria, burst into view with all the
paraphernalia of out-riders, liveried
grooms, etc. The pageantry of
the day assumed such a variety of
forms and took on such diversity of
taste US to quite preclude the possibility
of any detailed account The most i'm
posing spectacle, perhaps. was the HIP
pogrif outfit, commanded by Col. Whit
ley and Capt Warren, though 1t would
probably be invidious TO neglect to men,
ton the fine-haIred crew in silk hats and
Eyeglasses drawn by /. ID. Fox's spank
ing black courseTs Then there were
carriages bearing younger and less osten-
tsiious parties, and not a few of the local
chivalry made the rounds with such IA
cllities for locomotion as nature had en-
dowed them withal, to the simultaneous
improvement of their muscles and finan-
ces.
Pursuant to announcement made IN
THE NEWS a large number of ladies
kept open houses, and it was in the di-
rection Of these hOspitable centers that
the omnivorous battalion of callers took
up the line of march. We sincerely re-
greet that space and language are both
inadequate to q description of the ele-
giant manner in which the different the
atres of reception were decorated, the
superb lay-outs that everywhere
stimulated even the already sat
isfied appetite, and the grace
and loVeliness of the fair entertainers
through whose effective efforts the day
was rendered memorable. II must suf
flee to say, that never have we seen hos.
pitality more elegantly administered noI
the offices of nice society more admir-.
ably discharged then they were by the
ladies of Emporia On last Saturday. Ii
is much to the credit of the town that nc
liquors found their way to the side
boards, and that the only style of eye
glasses employed by callers were those
furnished by our local jewellers and op
ticians.
The day, taken all in all, was grand
success, and is associated with memorie:
which will wear the freshness o.
new vendure when the wintrY frosts o.
age shall settle down upon the year 1881

In obedience TO instructions from the
mayor, the city marshal on Wednesday
ordered all wood and hay wagons of
Commercial street to the side avenues
which intersecti it. This is in pursuance,
we learn, of an ordinance which was
passed some time ago but which has new
err been enforced till now. The provis-
ion made by our city fathers for the met
ropolitan advancement of Emporia has
been notably generous during the past
six months, but having gone SO far in
the direction Of keeping pace with the
methods of more ambitious cities, we
fear the municipal pride of our more
progressive citizens will never be fully
satisfied till the exceedingly plain and
unpretentious name of Commercial street
is changed 10 that of some popular and
fashionable Partisan boulevard. As il
is no longer dedicated to the purposes OF
trade, let it be DESIGNATED in such & man.
ner as to give some intimation Of its in,
tended uses.
