Knights TempIar Worship
in DarIinotOn.

Darlington Republican Journal: 1t
is the custom Of the Knights Templar
to attend Divine services in body on
Easter and their ritual contains a reg
ular Easter service. In case like
Mineral Point Commandery where the
membership is made up in part, Of resi-
dents of other places, these services are
often held in cities other than Mineral
Point, and on Sunday afternoon about
fifty knights in uniform worshipped in
Darlington. The Knights came from
Mineral Point on the afternoon passen
ger and returned, leaving Darlington
about o'clock p. m, on the freight.
They were met at the station by about
fifty MasOns and escorted to the Masonic
Temple where about $50 p. m. pro-
cession was formed and marched to the
Congregational church where the regu-
lar services were held, consisting of
beautiful music by the choir, the ritu
alistic service Of the commandery, and
a powerful sermon by Rev G. G.
Wilson. After the completion of the
services the Knights were again escort
ed to the Temple where refreshments
were served and nearly an hour spent
in feasting and visiting.

TO READERS OF THE DEMOCRAT

Because the demand is for news,
news, and more news, these stirring
times, the publication of a serial story
in The Democrat will be discontinued
for the present.
This will enable US to publish more
general news matter, and improve the
paper in other directions. One decided
improvement will be the publication of
Wisconsin farm matter-very good
stuff-prepared by the College of Agri
culture at the University Another
good feature during the spring season
will be Clean up and Paint up page
During all the years we have pub
lished The Democrat there has never
been a stronger demand for the paper
or more general interest manifested
in its publication, which encourages US
to renewed efforts.

In the new use of common Bingham

The idea OF combining a plain
coat with q checked skirt is also

II will help a good many women TO
adapt a last years garment TO this

No one will especially regret the
