Now, although Mss Sallie's name
was put down on the list OF old

the softest brown eyes, with trick

such manner that any susceptible
lady would have felt an irresistible
desire to have sole ownership Of the

We observe in the Jackson county
Herald an address prepared by Hon. John
II. Riley, member elect Of the Legislature
from that county, "to the wool growers
and farmers Of Jackson county" which
embraces some interesting and valuable
statistics, and which should be Of service
not only in that county but elsewhere
throughout the State. We quote from it
as follows:
"In neighboring State sheep are ex.
empt from taxation and dogs are taxed,
but in West Virginia sheep are taxed ss
heavily as any other property, and dogs,
though their owners place high value on
them, are absolutely exempt from all tax.

This discrimination In favor OF the enc.

ion should not and certainly cannot long
continue, 1t is earnestly hoped that the
organization and cooperation Of the sheep
breeders and wool growers Of the State
will result In some reformation OF this In.

that the time may soon come when the

We are near enough the great markets
to Justify our farmers in engaging IN

and wool as well as for wool alone. Relia'
hle statements show handsome profits on
this business which It Is notdeemed useful
to give in detail.
No fears need be entertained as to an
over production OF wool or mutton; this
country annually imports about so 0OO-
900 pounds OF the former aud value OF the
latter as 70 d Is being more and more ap.
preciated every year, and the price has

Jackson county has in It's limits at this
time about 1000 sheep and Ia capable oil
supporting over $50 600, and crowd them
no more than they are in Great Britain,
where 80 are found every square mile.
Then let our farmers have no fears ri over
production or OF increasing their flock 30
as to impair their health. But let them
assemble and discuss the best breeds,
methods oil management, markets, means
Of transportation, &c, and it ia predicted
that its effects will soon be seen in better
