Local knights of Pythias Defed Jack
Frost.

A jolly party of fur-coated Knights
of Pythias and their wives lett the
Blanchard building for AIarshfeld last
evening about six o'clock, in two big
teams from Cutters stable. The high
spirits Of every member Of the party
made Jack Frost take back seat While
the crowd kept the atmosphere around
them decidedly pleasant with their
jollity.
The knights arrived at Marshfield IN
time to attend the public installation
Of officers OF the Natshfeld lodge. The
Barre knights presented the compliments
Of Yincitia lodge in the shape Of an
elegant mirror for the Marshheld
Knights new quarters. A sumptuouA
banquet was served and the merry
making kept up until early this mofn-
ing.
The Marshfeld lodge was founded BY
the Vincitia lodge OF this city 1t has
grown very rapidly, both in numbers
and in Importance. The lodge has but
recently dedicated new three.story
building. bought and owned entirely by
the knights of Pythias. The lower
floor is used for the pest office and town
clerks Office, while the upper floors arc
equipped for the vayious reception, ban
quet and lodge rooms Of the club. They
are arranged in the most elegant and
modern style and are the equal Of any
lodge rooms in the state. A spirit Of
thrift and business ability stamps every
thing which this lodge does. That q

seems really wonderfu'.
