She has sewed 500, 600 stiches, and
patched and dAraed and wasAed faces

She has tied up 500 sore toes and cut
fingers and burns and bruises and
kissed away . thousand tears. She
has watched 'em by night and by day,
and keeps ON watching; and right
now, while l am writing on my piasa,
she is looking away up the big
road. and says, ''I'm afraid some

To Wool Growers.

The wool market continues dull and
unintefesttng. The effects Of the reduc.
ed tariff are beginning to be felt very
Esensibiy. Manufacturers are indifferent
sbaut buying, even at the present low
rates sud ave awaiting nth confidence
the time when foreign woods can be
brought into our markets at Che lower
duties Indeed, many of the le>ding
manufacturers have already made foreign
purchases, and considerable foreign wool
is now stored in the United States Gus
tom Houses. and will come in competi-
:ion with our Aeeces as soon as the new
tariff goes into effect, which will be on
July /. The farmer can now appreciate
how his interests we're sacrificed by the
late disgraceful Congress, for the benefit
of the wool manufacturer. A prominen,
wool commission house OF Philadelphis
sent out circular last week from which
We clip the following di<couraging para.
graph:
"We more than ever incline to the
opinion expressed In our circular o'
April 81, that I'VE are approaching ar
era OF Low values We do not see how
both wool and woolens can fail be
lower. The surplus of goods can bs
got rid OF only by tempting buyers t.
take hold by means OF concessions, and
any demand thus created will have to b.
followed by lower prices OF the raw ma
terial Moreover. We cannotexpect.an,
better prices for wool than now rule--i
as good-when foreign wool can be i'm
ported TO compete with our own produc
tion. especially at time. when The bull
OF our own clip will be coming on th'

from Livingston Parish to the effect that
Bob Morrison, brother-in-law Of the

only Two Laniers we're killed, but the
Coroner found the body OF Bill Kirby

tack, show the Laniers resisted them.
The supposition is that Morrison was
Wounded in the Fight
at Hog Branch and died while endeav
oring to get home. Sammy Lanier aged
Is, has not been heard from. and it is
supposed he has been shot in the fgh,
and also died in the woods This is the
family fpud which has alresd. caused the
loss of nine men. There are three mem
bers OF the Lanier family, with one
brother-in-'aw, remaining of the one fac.

OF his personal observation that the

instead Of increasing, are actually, on
the decline. He does not regard the
