Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Hartson tendered a farewell reception at their residence last Saturday evening to Forrest Varney, who departed for his new position in Washington, D.C., Tuesday morning. Games and music were the principal amusements of the evening, and were indulged in until a late hour, everyone having a most delightful time.

Mr. Varney received the congratulations and best wishes of his friends in the modest manner of a true gentleman, and we believe that he is now well advanced on the road that leads to a successful and prosperous future.

A splendid supper was served to the young people at six o’clock, to which the following did ample justice: Miss Beatrice Howard, Miss Julia Johnson, Wellen and Velma Hartson, Forrest Varney and Oscar Johnson of Eau Claire.
