THE RECEPTION.

/ Last Friday was one of the bigges
days Garnctt ever saw. There was al
immense crowd, and everybody had {
good time.
The famous Twentieth Kansas regi
ment WAS coming, and everybody ant
his folks came to see the boys arriv,
\ come
The special train on the Santa Fee
bearing the soldier boys, arrived at Gar
nett amid the booming of the little can
non and music of the band. A great
crowd had assembled at the depot, and,
before the train stopped, friends were
climbing onto the cars, shaking hands
with the boys.
After the boys had got off the train,
the procession began to 70 rm. The line
Of march had previously been arranged.
The band headed the procession, follow
ed by the boys of Company L. They
marched between two files of soldiers of
the civil war, who fell in after Company
L. The Ladies of the G. A. X. followed,
and they, in turn, were followed by the
Woman's Relief Corps. Then came the
Odd Fellows; then the school children.
They followed the line of march as pub
lished last week, finally bringing up in
the city park, where addresses were made
by Revs Pulliam and Henderson, and
music was dispensed by the band.
The crowd was then dismissed, and
the soldiers were fed. They then put in
the res, of the day visiting.
In the afternoon. there was a meeting
at the opera house, addressed by ]. X.
Burton and Pete Gregory, but the meet
ing was small, few, if any, of the soldier
boys being present-.hey were too busy
visiting to attend political meetings.
At night there was one of the finest
displays of fireworks ever seen in Gar
nett.
One of the items of special interest
was the handsome arch over the street,
between the court house and the park
1t wa a beautiful piece of handiwork,
and it's d 'signers had reason to be proud
of Il. On the Arch were pictures of
Funston and Dan Craig and many army
scencs--thc work of Frank Nichols and
Eli Lem. There were also electric lights
rcd white and blue, which represents
magnificent appearance at night. There
were also numerous grotesque trans
parencics---thc work of Andy Farris.
The streets were lined with gav-colored
Chinese lanterns, which added to the
beauty of the scene.
The Notification lasted well into the
Light. The crowd finally dispersed, all
feeling that the day had been well spent
The reception was certainly great sue
cess.
3 We are glad the boys are home again.
