rooms. Ten mechanics and men are EN-

L. n. GODFREY & BRO, who contem-
plate entering into the wool-growing bust

the Muscleshell valley for the purpose OF Sc
Letting a suitable location for that business.
They were accompanied by c. w. Cook,
Whose experience in woolgrowing was a

inviting hooks, coves, and surrounded by
such broad pastoral fields, it is not such an
easy matter to make a choice. The place
settled upon by these gentleman is upon
