Farewell Z eed.

Farewell, my love, and if for
ever, still forever fare thee well.
ISome such sentiment prevaded the
party given Saturday night IN
honor of the departing Cape
Nome gold-seekers. D. Carson,
Frank Snyder and G. j. Carlson,
were the men especially honored
BY this blowout, although all the
| gold seekers were lncluded IN the
we'll wishes Of the assembled citi-
zens.
The departure Of these men
whose long residence in Bemidji
has done much to impress their.
qualities upon the town, demanded
some public demonstration ia their
honor. The spirit which prompt
ed such demonstration ripened
into one Of the most delightful.
social events Of the season. Aud
itor Haner and G. r.. Martin made
all arrangements and invited
the guests.
About thirty Of the most inti-.
mate acquaintances Of the hon
ored gentlemen met at the ban-s
quet hall Of the Buffet, upstairs
in the Scott & Bancroft building. y
The hall had been tastily draped
|in bunting Of the national col
ors, and potted plants on the tables
added fragrance to beauty. But
the most attractive part OF the
decorations was the glean of sill
verwear, the sparkle of linen and
the appealing variety Of eatables
already upon the table. About
eleven o'clock nearly all of the
vacant seats around the two long
tables were filed, and the guests
proceeded TO destroy tile best sup
per that most Of them declare
was ever served il Ben,idii. There
was enough cold victnals, includ-
ling Blue POINTS, meats, salids,
and other appetite -sharpeners,
to bewi.der the stomach Of pro.
fessional banqueters, and when
the waters began to bring in one
course of rare eatables after an
Other, surprise gave way to as
tonishment, and the small stom-
achs began to bewail their limita-
tios In all no less than doz-
Ell courses were served. The
|abunda ce Of the food, its excel
lence III preparation and the re-
markable low charge for the
spread should assure Scott & Ban
croft will not be forgotten when
future swell banquets are wanted
