The Wool Trade A Lively Wedding

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNET, June 3O.-Forty wagons loaded
with wool came in from San Saba to. day,
being part of the train of eighty-Iive
teams that will bring in 900 bags during
the next day or two.
A report comes from VOLTS Crossing
of lively wedding on the Llano side of
the river, the clipping parties being
young man named John Means and
daughter of Mr.. Robert Hardin, we'll
known citizen of that section. Mr.. Har-
din was in Burnet at the time, and ar.
rived home to find himself minus
daughter and plus son-in-law, without
his knowledge or consent.
Some very fine melons and peaches of
improved variety came into town from
Llano county to-day, Farmers from
west of Burnett generally bring only good
reports of all crops, and the pros
pect that Llano county this year
will be able to give of her abundance
rather than call upon the state for help.
The barbecue at this place July 4 will
be given in the court house square to be
in easy reach of the business men and
candidates, who may want to crate in the
interests of the American flag, the free
dom of the ballot and their patriotic de-
sire to be fiercely and relentlessly sought
by an Office.
Governor and Mrs. Roberts returned
home to-day from their visit to Marble
Falls.
F. H. Holloway reports wool shipments
to date at 425,000 pounds. This amount
of wool does not include the 100000
pounds coming from San Saba.
The town has been alive with drummers
the past few days and more evidences
of a general revival in business are
noticeable than for a long time. The
weather is all that could be asked for
growing crops.
