MASTODONS IN BENTON.

Uncle Garity and Mr. Lucas who have been working on A. L. Howard's place found two mastodon teeth and a rib which had been thrown out by the dredge when the Bancroft ditch was dug a couple of years ago. The tooth Mr. Garity was exhibiting last week weighed 6 pounds 2 ounces and the other one only four ounces less. They were both in a good state of preservation and are valuable curiosities —Beijton Review. Just received 3 muslin direct from the factory 4800 yards and will be sold at jobbers wholesale prices.
