holding a convention and the os.

were also in convention at the
same time as the masons, so that
the town was pretty well filed
with visitors, but they were all
taken care of in a very admirable
manner; nothing was too good
for the city's guests, and the Wis
itors will long remember the
many courtesies that were ex-
tended to them by the people of
Watertown. whose hospitality
has become state proverb.
The Milbank delegates receiv-
ed a full share of recognition in
the distribution of the Offices of
the grand bodies, Mr.. S. S. Lock-
hart being elected deputy grand
master and George Mitchell ap-
pointed grand senior deacon in
the grand lodge, and in the East

was appointed Adah in the grand
chapter. Mrs. Downie was made
