dtd came across his rancho, the other day,
and says he last year purchased ten thou
sand acres of land on the Cumberland riy-
er, below Eddyville, known as Kelly's old
furnlce, for the purpose OF raising sheep.
This land was purchased at less than two
dollars per acre. 1t is quite hllly, and only
now and then ridge broad enough for a
good sized field IL seen, and occasionally a
valley of rich land. Altogether the tract Is
we'll adapted to sheep grazing and the
Governor has already two hundred acres in
grass, besides five hundred acres of wood
land pasture. At present he has only
about 800 head Of sheep, but intends to in
crease his stock to 10000. That he will
make sheep raising profitable we have no

white black wool business, although 1t had
been largely invested in, in Radical way

and smell, his choice in Kentucky has, un-
questionably, been judicious.
