Some interesting facts concerning wool
growing in the United States have been
brought out by the Attorney of the Ohio
Wool Growers' Association. who il en-
gagged in preparing an argument in favor
Of the restoration Of the old rates OF duty
on wool. IL appears that this industry is
not a local one. every State and territory
producing wool to n greater or less ex-
tent. California leads in the industry with
nearly six million sheep and an annual
yield OF nearly seventeen million pounds
of wool. while Rhode Island and Delaware
have the lowest figures, the former State
having I'LL sheep and about sixty five
hundred pounds Of wool. On the States
east Of the Rocky mountains Ohio ranks
first In the industry. having five million
sheep. exceeds California in wool produc-
ton. aggregating twenty-five million
pounds annually. Indiana and Kentucky
have also large wool interests. but the in
terest has nowhere been made the special
~ that ii is in Ohio. where great pains
have been taken in securing the highest
grade Of sheep In view of the action OF
the democratic party towards the wool
raisers Of Ohio. there can be no doubt that
they will give their support to the repub-
lican candidate for the presidency. and
place the State again squarely in the re-
publican column.

Grecnbackers and Protection.

cent lecture before farmers club, Mr..
Boynton made very interesting aud able
remarks upon the tariff, the import Of
which may be gathered by the following
extract:

would be as pressing as the last few
days OF continued bad weather has made

that the Washington road, the Vile

leading east from town, are all getting
into terrible condition. From these
accumulated reports, it would seem
that there has been a general neglect
and dereliction of duty of road -overseers
and of road inspectors all around.
Most assnredly these thoroughfares of
travel would not have become so bad.

beds where the travel of animals and
vehicles were cutting them into bog
holes, more and more, each day. In
the past few days this condition of
things has grown rapidly worse, and
we are now confronted with peril
which will virtually put stop so all
travel in wagons or buggies. The
country people will, in a few days
more be unable to come inte town
with their produce, on account of tie
roads. As necessary consequence,
this will stop all business in Opelousas.
We are not exaggerating things at all,
and any one that has travelled mile
from town will recognize our statements
as facts. If the roads are not worked or
drained Immediately, travel will stop
within ten days.

Marriage is decidedly the most i'm
portant part of the ordinary woman's
destiny. She can do very we'll with
out marrying, if she only thinks SO ;
but if she marries, her whole future
depends on her choice of a husband /;
for marry means to most to follow
the fortunes of the man chosen, abide
by the law he lays down fer his house
hold, dwell where he decides, and take
from his hands as much or little as he
is able or willing to bestow. Tastes
make little difference in destiny after
the wedding ring is on.
