were: Mrs Gentry. Mrs. Annie sydnor,
Mrs. Jesse Bryan and Mrs Tinslcy. The

The usual set Of dances was carried

Waxahachie, Texas, February 20. - The
mad dog scare is beginning to blow over.
Mrs. Finley's son is getting along much
better since the application Of the maidstone
which was procured from Mrs Ray. The
little son of Mrs. Smith, who was also bit

Since the appearance of the ferocious dog
and the using OF ;he stone mentioned above.
a good deal OF speculative talk has been
engaged in concerning the curative power
OF these so-called madstones. 1t is now
given out by those who seem to know that
a maidstone is procured from the gall blad-
der of a certain kind of deer. The stone Is
OF blackish appearance, and must be
