NOTABLE MASONIC RALLY.
Considered as Large as ANY in History
of Lodge No. 1, for Regular
Initiation Service

This happened Tuesday evening of
this week in the Masonic Temple, Min
eral Point, the home of Lodge No. l.,
Wisconsin jurisdiction. What CHANGED
to bring it about was a simple invita-
tion to lodges of neighboring towns, as
hac been done many times heretofore,
but the response was never before so
general. The availability of autos, the
delightful weather and the increased
warmth of the Masonic spirit are held
to be the prime factors in this grand
rally They came from Barneveld,
Ridgeway, Dodgeville. Cobb. Linden,
Mifflin, Montfort, Darlington, and even
Milwaukee, Chicago and Indiana were
represented. In all, fully two hundred
were present.
The work of comforting the Masters
degree was assigned to the Dodgeville
brothers. They did well; that's like 'em.
Mr.. Jacob Dreher of Milwaukee being
present, he addressed the assemblage
in an interesting and instructive man
ner. There was enhvening orchestral
music by local members of the order,
and delicious refreshments with straw
berry shortcake and fruits added.
When the hands of the clock indi-
Gated the hour of IL, there was a quick
bua orderly dispersion for home of
as happy and manly set of Masons as
was ever seen in southwest Wisconsin.
