A chapter under dispensation of the
order of the Eastern Star, was organi

4th, Mr. Spratler, worthy patron of
our chapter, giving the obligation to
about thirty charter members. A
large party of our ladies belonging to
the order drove out, to exemplify the
work, and were hospitably and charm
ingly entertained by Dodgeville sisters.
A handsome and inviting banquet
was partaken of after the attractive
ceremonies of the order. These
neighborly visits are very conducive
to friendly feelings. Mrs. Dr. Cosens
was elected worthy matron and B. J.
