Valentine Social-
Tuesday evening at the cozy
and pleasent home of Mr. and
Mrs. G. D. Hudson, Mesdames
Jamieson and Hudson were hos-
tesses to a Hypawia Valentine
social, The rooms were tastily
Becorated with a profusion of
•'hearts" of many colors which
made a beautiful effect under the
soft radiance of the lights dl
many candles. To the gentle-
men were given hearts upon
which was written the names of
a lady and they were required to
write a discriptive tribute to her
on a heart shaped piece of white
paper. The ladies meanwhile
wrote poetical effusions on other
hearts, but they were privileged
to keep the name of the objeot
of their adoration seoret, a wise
provision perhaps! When finish,
ed the company were read with
out descloeing the names of the
authors and judged as to whioh
was most meritorious. 8ome were
gladsome, others were lauger
ously loving, all were good. For
the ladies Mrs. Suman won the
honors and was given a box of
bon bons. Mr. Hudson excell-
ed among the gentleman and was
previledged to present a beatiful
picture to the subject of his poem
Mrs. 8wartout. Much merriment
and high good humor was occa-
sioned by the desclosure of the
"literary" efforts of uifferent in-
dividuals. Partners for luncheon
were chosen by plucking birds
from the branches of a meniture
tree set in the center of a table
with elaborate deooration. The
old axium. a bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush," was in
this case found to be exphatically
true and pertinently trite. Lit-
tle cupids marked the cable
places with a ladies name writt-
en uyon each one. The refresh-
ments were served in three cours-
es, and were mosi delicious and
satisfying. The hostesses are
certainly tobe congratulated upon
success )f 'heir efforts. The even
in g was one of good pleasures.
Present were: Mes-rs. and Mess-
dames J. B. Tomlinson, C. C.
Suman, C. B. Swartout? H. L.
Jamieson, A. H. Holland, L, H.
Owen. John Good, G. D. Hudson
and Mr. J. H. Bellis.
William A. Huffman.
Died, at his late home in Cush-
ing, at 9 o,clock a. m. Sunday.
Feb. 12th, 1911, William A. Huff-
man, aged 53 years, 5 months
and 1 day. Mr. Huffman was
born near Darlington, Indiana,
Sept. 11th, 1858 He moved to
Kansas in 1882, and in 1883 was
married to Miss Emma Logan.
Of this union three children were
born, one son and two daughters,
Mrs. Bessie Cramer, of Cushing,
Mrs. Bulah Cullison. of Quay,
and Carl Huffman, of Arkansas
City. All were with their father
in his last moments on earth.
Mr. Huffman resided in Welling-
ton, Kans. twenty.one yaars and
moved to Cherryvale where he
lived five years, then to Perkins
and later to Guihrie, coming to
to Cushing seven years ago,
where he was employed by the
Santa Fe railroad com par. y and
had oharge of the material yards
for the oompany here during th*
bnilding of the road into Cushing.
Quiting the service of this com-
pany he engaged in the real es-
tate businesr with Ira Stout and
later wifh L G. Wheeler, the lat
ter partnership exhisting at the
time of his death. Mr. Huffman
occupied a high place in the
esteem of his neighbors and fel-
low men. He was for several
years a member of the board of
trustees of Cushing and their
chairman for a term. He was of
a jovial disposition and always
had a kind and pleasant word for
his friends. He was a man of
high personal character aid was
honored and respected by all
who knew him In his death the
community loses an excellent oit
izen. His last illness was of
short duration and his death is
attributed to Brights disease.
All that medical skill and loving
hands could do was to in
measure alleviate his pain and
distress and make his parting
hours ones of what possible ease
and comfort such circumstances
permit. The grief strioken wife
and sorrowing children and other
relatives have the sincere and
tender sympathies of the entire
oommunity in their irreparable
loss.
