tofore been most successful in giving
missions, and it is due to the industry
and ability of these men that the Do

and permanent success in this country
Rev. T. l.. Power will be remembered
by many of your Shullsburg people,

Of onr neighboring county Of Grant,
and made occasional visits TO Shulls-
burg.
Rev. n. Harmon, pastor Of tho
church of the Holy Rosary. secured the
services Of these gentlemen, and ar
ranged the mission SO that the mem
bers of his congregation might have
an opportunity to avail themselves of
the great benefits to be derived from a
participation in the Jubilee proclaim
ed by Pope Leo XIII. Last Sunday
evening several converts were baptized
and received into the church, and from
present indications it would appear
that this mission will be the most
successful one ever held IN Darlington.
Tie mission will close Sunday evening
with Papal Beneliction to those who
have complied with the requirements
