The mystery connected with the “mysterious hole” dug on Frank Carson’s farm over in Benton county, of which mention was made in these columfis, continues. It will be remembered, a hole was dug two feet wide, seven feet long and about -four feet deep during the night of July 2Stb, twelve feet due north of a-very large boulder, by parties unknown, pulverized sulpher being scattered quite freely. On last Friday night unknown parties again went there and dug out alpthe dirt between the first digging and the boulder to the same depth, sulphur being again scattered about, there were also evidences that a small rod had been used in exploring the bottom and sides of the excavation. On Sunday P.

The public generally is not aware of the pi ogress made in dentistry, during the last few years- Nowadays instead of extracting roots or brokendown teeth, they are restored to their former usefulness by crowning. Irregular and crowded teeth may be sti-f iahtened, and made to present & regidav and attractive appearance. Teeth may be extracted, then fillecl and replanted, successfully. Teeth may lie supplied from one tooth to a full denture, without plates, thus getting rid of the unpleasantness caused by them. Dr. Brown, the new Dentist is introdueingg||l these latest devices and and can render any services in his line. The nervous and delicate receive most careful and gentle treatment.
