ty it gave him fitted him to pursue
quite successfully the business Of a So
licitor before the Patent Office. He was
an ingenious man, we'll versed in ma

wide acquaintance and familiarity with
its improvements in every branch of
mechanical industry. He was man Of

Wool Notes.

W. A. Rainey is buying all the wool
he wants, paying 33 cents a pound for
the best. He shipped two car loads on
Wednesday and two more on Thursday.
Saturdays Guernsey Times.
Wool has been selling somewhat free
ly in this viciHity during the past few
days at 331a cents pound, three
pounds for dollar, and it seems pOssi-
BILE that considerable amount of the
wool of Harrison county may change
hands at these figures, though there are
many farmers who will not sell at the
present time at this price. Wool Is
cheaper at the present time than it has
been since i've or seven years ago. In
the Summer of 1876 wool in this county
sold at from 80 to 33 cents u pound, and
during the winter of 1877 s considerable
quantity of wool was sold here for 30
cents a pound.-CadiZ Rep.
