A Successful Reception.

The reception was fne," is the un.
snimous verdict of those who attended
the Anniversary celebration of the
"Osseo Literary Society" lat the
Seminary Hall on Monday evening.
The Hall was prettily decorated with
the national colors. A large picture
OF Washington, surrounded by the
stars and stripes, figured prominently
amid the wall decorations and added
much to the festive appearance of the
Hall. A little after eight O'Clock the
program commenced with q grand
march, music being furnished by the
band, and as the first march of the eve
ming WAS designated as "ladies
choice'' it is needless to soy that all
the gentlemen present were engaged.
The program of the evening was
composed of different kinds OF games,
some of which were very amusing
both for the partakers and the"lookers
on"
At 1890 the people present repaired
to the Seminary boarding hail, where
delightful refreshments were served.
Returning to the Hall after having
done justice to the estables q good
time was enjoyed till late hour.
The success OF the affair is due both
to the faithful work of the different
committees and also to the efforts OF
the master OF ceremonies, Prof. Han
son.

generous response in soliciting eat

band together as never before and
make this a successful and profitable
evening for the library. Let it be said
of every Willmar citizen that he is
