High links at GarneiIl.

EDITOR ARGUS: In the early part
of April a new town was born to
Fergus county. Uncle Sam sent a
postmaster as nurse and gave the
baby the sweet name of GarDeill. At
the present writing it is a big, husky
kid, with every evidence of arriving
at robust maturity.
On the night Of April q the god
fathers and godmothers gathered to-
gether to christen the b%aby-and
what a christening! "Take your
partners for a plain quadrille," yelled
the handsome floor manager, and
away we went, old and young. cut
ting up all kinds Of high jinks until
the ladies having the refreshments In
charge called us to supper-and what
a spread! The contents Of the bas-
kets proved every one Of the donors
to be a lady bountiful. The cakes
were a dream in butter and eggs, the
biscuits a symphony 10 dough, and
the pies-well, l really did not know
what to think OF the pies till l went
to hunt for one; / then realized that
the pies were ''out Of sight"
Take your partnersfor a fireman'e
Dance" "Inside here and outside
there" and away we went again,
letting out a button here and there
as the cold chicken began crowding
the sandwiches and the angel cake
elbowing the lobster salad for room,
till Old Sol peeped over the hills, and
with a sleepy goodby we departed to
our homes, the ladies agreeing that
the christening was heavenly and the
gentlemen expressing regret that the
baby had not been twins so they
could come around the next night
and christen the other one.
On Friday night, the 2sth inst, the
Rev. st. Hill gave us a delightful lee

picious movements OF some OF his
a%udience) before half OF the ladies
present were sur they had one or
two OF those strange animals down
their backs. The lecture was han.
died in fine style and proved a treat
to all present, as was the singing and
instrumental music by Messrs. Craw-
ford and Hessig and Mesdames Per-
rine and Hessig.
After the lecture, and as a fitting
close to so delightful an evening, the
ladies served a DelmOnico supper.
At a late hour we all deperted to
our homes, sleepy, happy and stuffed.
