The New Years dance Monday
was happy thought. The custom of
the yearly dance, has been kept up in
Great Bend for many years, and we
hope it will be continued for many
more. Nothing could be more enjoy
able than a gathering of the old friends
and neighbors of the city once a year
to mingle in social intercourse and re-
joicing.

New Years. Reception.

-
Monday was observed:by many as a
holiday, and by the gentlemen and
ladies Kho received and called at the
opera house, viii be. remembered Ii3
one of the most joyous holidays ever
spent in Great Bend.
The gentlemen, twenty-four in, NUM-
Der, who received at, the opera house,
could not have been better pleased at
the result of the. afternoon reception
and grand ball in the evening. Each
exerted himselfsto snow to the ladies
the courtesies due them and extend a
welcome and a New Years Greeting.
In the hall, ON the south side, were
spread all the delicacies of the season,
and as the ladies were received they
were served with hot coffee and just
such nice little lunch as became the
occasion. - - t'i-
The Great Bend orchestra was Ell
gagged. and as each table full Of callers
was. relieved by new lot the floor was
taken by merry dancers, no tagging of
interest was permitted.
One most enjoyable feature of the
reception was chorus of colored sing
ers, prepared especially for the occasion
to entertain the visitors. With a few
evenings of training, under the man
agement of Mr.. d. n. Heller, these
negro singers were enabled to render
old plantation melodies and new
ballads in manner that surprised and
greatly entertained the listeners.
There were eight of the boys, having
among them bahjoist, guitarist, tam
BORNE and bone man.
We formerly gave a list of the gen
tlemen who would receive. That list
was in the main correct, a few changes
having been made unavoidable by the
absence of the gentlemen from town or
inability to be present from other
causes.
The following ladies were callers
during the afternoon:
Mesdames w. w. p. Clement, w. NJ.
Kelley, Ed. L. iced, M. r. Bell, E. r.

to the dance at night.
a splendid company assembled, one
of the most elegant gatherings ever
held in Great Bend, and dancing was
enjoyed until twelve o'clock.
