More than three hundred people
were at the Mecca cafe Wednesday
evening attending the Halloween so
cial. Never before was such an i'm
mense crowd seen at this popular
meeting place. The cafe has added
on the new department, which cost
Mr. and Mrs. Lacy nearly 81 900. This
makes II without doubt the premier re-
sort Of the West. and It rivals any
thing anywhere else in the country
conducted by colored people. Again
and again were salyos OF applause
given the proprietors. The music and
the beautifully decorated rooms, gay
with bunting and palms. with the pret.
tily dressed ladies and gallant men,
tables loaded down with the best the
market affords, made this one evening
the finest OF the many grant ones that
have been since the cafe was opened
three years ago. A cordial invitation
Is extended TO all TO call and inspect
the new department. 1t will be open
next Monday evening, when there will
be the usual social. with Holley's or
chestra in attendance The standard
of entertaining and the conduct of the
guests are irreproachable, and 1t is a
genuine treat TO be present at the
Mecca socials. Mr.. and Mrs. Lacy
have come far to be the proprietors OF
such place in the short time OF three
years. TO be considered the premier
bonifaces of a SECTION as large as half
the country, yet such has push accom-
plished, and It is all for the home and
transient people TO share for the effort
OF going there. Everybody agreed that
was present Wednesday that Hot
