FAREWELL RECEPTION

To Der Beloved Pastor and Wife,
We are told by those who minis
ter In spiritual food that all is for
the best. But when . few weeks
ago Rev. q. ID. Gotwald announced
10 his people that he was about to
IeGYe US, and go TO Kansas City
every heart Was sad, and many
wept st the thought Of parting with
himself and wife. But a. Mr.. Got
valid thinks Il best to 60, nothing
remains TO do Tut TO say not farewell
but Goodbye until we meet again.
Rev. GotwaId and wife flor . few
days have been the guests Of Mrs.
r. l.. Bond. Therefore the ladies' OF
the Lutheran church met at tie
spacious residence Of MT. Pond to
have an impromptu reception and
say 4 few last words to their pastor
and wife. When ] say ladies ]
mean Il as for some cause, gertle-
men were scarce. So much 90 that
. gOOd-IOOking man was in demand
and the hOmely ones were welcome.
Light refreshments were served.
cake, tea, coffee, etc, and in taking
seats nj the beautifully furnished
table the usual programme was
slightly changed, instead Of every
gentleman escorting his own wife to
supper he took some other mans
wife. Rev. GOtwaid aud Mrs. NJ.
ID. Berg, Mrs. GOtwAld and Mr..
Berg, DR.. Devices small, but hand
some, had the pleasure OF eating
supper with the tall graceful wife Of
william Berg. Mrs. Doctor
Devices and our enterprising land
agent, Will Kraft, paired Off very
nicely, and many other couples In
the same way. There were present
about one hundred. Everyone en-
joyed themselves and nj n lste hour
said good many thanks
due Mr.. and Mrs. Bond for kind
and courteous hospitality. Mrs.
GotwaId leaves Saturday afternoon
20 spend q few days with friends at
Ellsworth, and will go to Kansas
City on Friday, Rev. Gotwald
having gone last week.
Farewell, farewell IL n lonrly sound.
And always brings n sigh,
But give 10 me when loved ones part
That sweet old word, gOOh-bye.

AssariA Argus:


A very enjoyable and successful
basket socisl was held at the resi-
dence Of DIR. Knox on Wednesday
night. A large number OF ladies
and gentlemen were present from
surrounding places and from Salina.
The ladies who were more numer-
Gus than the boys" numbered
some excellent singers and mu-
sIcians, and consequently the time
passed very pleasantly. The sum Of
$3.50 was realized for Rev. ID.
McGurk.
A grand rally, ratification and
jollification of Republicans Oc-
CURED at AssariA last Saturday
night. There was an anvil firing,
q gay procession, q monster bon
FIRE enthusiastic speech-making and
no end OF fun. Mr.. Swedlund, COM
missioner elect, was present and
thanked the people for their sup
port. What few Democrats are left
In the nelghbOrhOOd participated in
the racket. and our Jolly merchant,
DR.. Knox, had his hat blazing on .
pole along with that Of our worthy
mayor, r. +. Swanson. Perhaps
one Of the most humorous speeches
was that Of DIR. Crawford, who said
that the faces OF the Democrats
were getting so long that they
would soon be stepping on their
chIns.

DEM. NATIONAL CONVENTION.
An Ensrt on the Part OF the Labor Men
of Chicago to Keep IL Away from

CHICAGO. January 1l-Therc is a plan on
foot among the Chicago labor organizations
that if carried out, will either keep the
Democratic National Convention away
from Chicago. or else place all organized
labor in antagonisrn 10 the candidates of
the convention. Ii is being pushed by
some .! the enthusiasts for an independent
political labor movement for the purpose of
forcing organized labor tn abandon the old
parties and Join the independent radi-
cal political movement. OF late it has
come 10 be generally believed among labor
men that not only did the contractors on
the auditorium building employ non-union
labor. but they used stone that came from
the Chester Penitentiary, and the most
agyravating circumstances to the staunCh
Union men is that this stone was haulded
from the Chester Penitcntiary by the
Wabash, Chester & Western Railroad Of
which the pricipal owner Is tharies H. Cole
