clTY'S ELITE YOUNG
PEOPLE.

The elite of Kansas City on last
Monday night once more enjoyed a
charming social party with Mr.. and
Mrs. Fortune J. Weaver as host and
hostess. Miss Laila Williams, an at
tractive young woman of Philadelphia
was the guest of honor Between the
hours of Z and II, bevy after bevy of
beautiful girls attended by well
dressed young men, came and filed
the spacious gym" room and lobby
at Garrison Square, and to the strains
of popular music tripped the light fan
tastic and made merry the fleeting
hours Mrs. Weaver in her elegant
and graceful manner made the Square
seem more homelike and comfortable
than ever. Prof. ]. G. Hobbs, the ever
we'll appearing and popular dancing
master of Kansas City, assisted in
managing the floor. During the inter-
mission short program was rend-
ered Solo by Mr.. Burden, accompan-
led by Prof Robt G. Jackson; piano
solo by Miss Buelah Douglass; and a
vocal solo by the guest of honor, Miss
Williams, who sang "The Slave Song"
by T. Del Riego, and was given an
encore at the end of which she was
presented beautiful bouquet of
roses, asters and gladiolas. Dancing
then continued until the closing hour.
Delicious punch was served during the
evening. A number of affable mat
rons attended the Weaver party and
their presence made the affair all the
more pleasant. Everyone went home
feeling that they had spent most en-
joyable evening.

ALLEN CHAPEL NOTES.

The services at Allen Chapel in
honor of the old members in spite of
the inclement weather, was an un-
qualified success. And many of the
aged members of the church were in
attendance, being brought in carriages
and autos, and after the service were
served dinner in the Lecture Room.
DR.. Thomas preached one of the most
impressive and eloquent sermons in
his career at Allen Chapel. At its
conclusion there was hardly dry eye
in the church. Musical selections were
excellent, solos being rendered by
Prof. Harrison of Kansas City, Kas.,
Mr.. and Miss Leila Williams of
Philadelphia. Next Sunday special
sermon to boys and young men.

Men and Women of Affairs-Negroes
The same argument used against
Negroes producing this book if dill
gently pursued will displace the Negro
musician, the Negro lawyer, the Negro
real estate man, the Negro doctor, by
way of depreciation and Negro dis
elimination against himself. Why
will men oppose themselves? Belittle
themselves? Does an Irishman pro-
duce the history Of the Jews? The
Turks the epic English works
Absurd!
1t is an insult to the intelligence of
the Negro-to his self dependence
and direct slap at his very manhood,
for ''a man is a man." to allow any
race to do what the Negro should do
himself. Prof j. P. King, Hon. G. A.

den, DR.. ]. r. Perry, DR.. w, H. Thom-
as and DR.. r. A. &dams, and a host
of others equally notable among the
Negroes, propose to write the book;
Negroes to set the type; and Negroes
to publish the book from beginning to
end. What say you neighbor? BY all
that is right. logical, fair, manly and
honorable, who should write and pub
lish our book and profit by it? Us OF
others? If you stand fer Negro en-
terprise, manhood and womanhood

behind him. who over a year ago
planned such book.

Gilbert Implement Co. Makes Assignment

The Gilbert Implement Co. has made
an assignment, caused as is stated, by
long time credit coupled with a heavy
overhead expense. too great for the
volume of cash business. The John
Deere Co.. of Portland, is the chief
creditor. No local business men or in
dividuals will suffer, all local bills hav-
ing been paid in full.
The company will be recrganized, the
John Deere Company allowing the
stock in hand to be taken over and han
died by the new concern. Clarence +.
Gilbert and Harry T. Dewitt will form
the new company. The latter has been
employed by the Gilbert Implement

in the corporation. He disposed of his
interest the latter part of last year.
