Farewell Reception to Rev.
Shaffer,

AT the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Forty on Tuesday evening last the
Methodist congregation under the
auspices of its Epworth League gave
to Rev. Mr.. Shaffer and his excellent
wife, their outgoing pastor and spouse,
a farewell reception.
The fact that there were present in
addition to the large Methodist
turnout goodly number of represen-
tatives from other religious bodies was
evidence of the high esteem of Mr..
and Mrs. Shaffer, not only in his own
church, but other christian bodies as
well.
The gathering, as to literary pro-
duction was informal, but after time
spent in pleasant conversation, few
pieces were sung by the outgoing
pastor, at the close of which the crowd
thickened around the Rev. Gentleman
and his wife, and in fitting words by
some one, unknown to the writer,
beautiful silk, autograph, filled quilt,
was presented to the esteemed ex-
pastor and his wife. Mr.. Shaffer re.
sponded in fitting words, assuring the
donors of their appreciation of the
cordial relations which had existed.
and Still remains between himself and
family, and the people whom they
were saying goodbye to. Shortly
there came a surprise, but none the
less agreeable on that account, in like
manner as before, a purse was pre-
sented to the Rev. Brother. This was.
IN addition to what had gone before,
substantial evidence of the high
regards in which Mr.. and Mrs. Shaffer
is held by the people, to whom they
have ministered for the years, three I
believe, to them. General regret is
expressed at their departure, but the
powers that be have said
go and they have gone, leaving pleas
ant memories and carrying with them
the cordial regards and best wishes of
this community.
Rev. Shaffer is among the few Metho-
dist preachers who says the Lord IS
Prayer and part of the Apostles Creed
as part of religious worship.

He proposed to start 3 to'xn there on the arid prairie and call 1t Garden City. The railroad officials were inclined tO take . humor- GUS view Of the mattar and treated the prc.n0te~ as a lunatic He was very persistent but they saw no excuse fer town at thac point and continued to refuse his request. The following win ter all sorts of bills hostile to the rail way were proposed in the legislature. and the agents of the company found that they all originated from one
