The state officers Of Rathbone
Sisters of Wisconsin some weeks ago
in order to raise some funds conceived
the notion of buying fine silver tea
set and disposing of it by rattle among
members about the state. Two thou
sand tickets at ten cents each were
sold. Mrs. Grace NARROW, wife of
Dentist NARROW of Lancaster, was the
lucky winner. One of the numbers

-Cassville Index: About twenty
people met at the cemetery Tuesday
in response to the request recently
published. The work done adds great
ly to the appearance Of the cemetery
and it is the purpose of the association
to see that the place is hereafter kept
in proper order. ..... j NJ. Pringle's
team left standing in the street for a
moment without driver ran away
Monday noon, wrecking the new car
riage they were hitched to. Two little
girls, Grace Caldwell and Lavinia
Pierce, narrowly escaped being run
over by the horses in their rush up
the school-house street.
DR.. NARROW has returned from his
somewhat prolonged trip to Monroe,
Chicago, Milwaukee and other points.
The doctor is a student and an invest
igator and spares no effort to keep
himself thoroughly posted in his pro-
fession. Besides attending the Wis
consin Dental association he spent
several days in Chicago attending a
meeting of the Illinois Dental associa-
ton. This society has over 800 mem
bers and had before it some of the
most eminent specialists in the coun-
try. A dentist must know more than
to simply .'pull teeth" these days.
He must know all the branches OF his
own profession and be versed in med
iclne and surgery as well.
