Social festivities were at hightide at
Southwest Harbo last week, several events
of Importance claiming place. First and
most enjoyable of the series was New
Years reception given by Rev. Dean
Walker and the ladies of his household to
the people of the vicinity, and though
1892 was ushered in by the icy north wind
and his frosty aids, all was warmth and
cheer within the pretty Lawton cottage,
the present Parsonage. a delicious col "a
tion was served by the hostess, assisted by
Miss Walker and several young ladies.
In the evening after the departure of the
larger part OF the guests, the young peo-
pie took possession, and aided and abetted
bg their entertainers, many games were
enjoyed till the night was far spent. All
echoed the pretty appreciation of a little
six-year old miss, who in bidding good
might to Madame Walker, mother of the
pastor, whom to know is to love, said: 81
have had such lovely time that l mean
to come again this evening and know
lots OF other little girls that / guess will
co1as too. They're Methodists, but
guess they III come all the same" And no
doubt the little tots would have been well
come, as were the Methodist pastor and
his wife. Before the good nights were
raid, DR.. Walker thanked his friends for
the New Years gift which had testified to
the general good will which was fully sp-
preciated.
