Guttenberg, Dec 8 - Our Masonic temple was dedicated last
Saturday evening, Judge Fellows, of Lansing, assisted by Grand
Senior Warden Lambert, of Sabula, officiating. Judge Fellows
delivered a fine lecture on masonry and its principles generally.
Many visiting brethren were present, among whom were Editor
Maurer of Garnavillo, Dick Turner of McGregor and others. After
the dedicatory exercises the tables were spread when the masons
and their wives and members of the Eastern Star did ample justice
to the good things thereon. All went home with a feeling that it
was "good to be there."
