BECOME
Election of Otllcors of the Waco
Cadot Club A Grand Celebra
tion. The colored bootblacks, who were
organized by J. D. Davis, some time
ago, are making extensive preparations
for a grand celebration to commence
Monday May 2d, and last three days.
The organization is known as the
"Waco Cadet Club," and its object is
the social, mental and moral better
ment of the coudition of its members.
It has also a benevolent feature which
is said to be first-class.
The officers of the organization are
as follows : K. S. Johnson, president;
Oscar Downs, vice-president; Thomas
S. Shean, secretary, John Carter,
assistant secretary; Joe Hubbard,
treasurer; J. D. Davis, captain, K. D.
fohnson, assistant captain; T. F.
Johnson, sergeant at arms.
The above officers also compose
the board of directors.
A meeting was held last night for
the purpose of making arrangements
for the celebration to which the boot
blacks from all the principal cities of
the state will bo invited.
The following parties were elected
to officer the grand parade and to
manage the other ceremonies :
Josh Smith, grand marshal, Charley
Nince, floor manager; IJ J Williams,
assistant manager, Queen S Aste and
M L Sublett, speakers, Misses Cali
fornia Brown, Grace E Felder, Adelia
Matthews, Alpha Townsend, Lena
Townsend and Fleepy Beltran, maids
of honor.
The officers and privates will be in
full dress uniform, and as they march
through the streets "to the music of
the band" will present an appearance
the like of which has never before
been seen in this city.
If Davis succeeds in bettering the
moral status of the colored bootblacks
of Waco he will have accomplished a
great work.
STATE SCHOOL UF ART
An Institution Soon to be Located
In Waco.
Waco will soon have an institution
that will increase her fame as the cen
ter of learning. In September the
State School of Art will be perma
nently .located in this city. Mr.
Harold Elderkin, the principal, is a
trained artist who per'ected himself in
Europe and has mado a subitantial
reputation since his return through
merit alone He has secured the ser
vices of Mr Park Heaton, so well
known in Waoo, as manager and gen
eral solicitor, who will enier upon his
work at once. Mr Elderkin will re
main in Corpus Christi during the
summer, but the school, which is one
of considerable proportions already,
wfll, with all its paraphernalia and ap
pertcnances, be moved to Waco in
September when Mr. Elderkin will
come to Waco to reside permanently.
Waco should feel proud of such an
institution and will be sure to show
her appreciation in a proper manner.
The J. Hansell Wood (Jo.'s store is
becoming a favorite place for ladies.
The ladies, as a trading community,
are wide-awake and sharp as steel
traps, and they aro rapidly catching
on to the extra fine Hue of boys' cloth
ing, hats and caps kept at this popular
store, and to the marvelously low
prices at which boys' goods are sold
there. It is becoming a markedly
popular place for ladies' trade. If
the bojs' suits wore all red like Han
sell Wood wrappers one would be
surprised at the number of boys in
red in town.
