There is a strong representation OF wool-
growers on the jury this term of court. A
number got excused last spring on account
OF ''lambing." While growers are busy
haying. it does not strike them quite as
hard to be summoned as it did in the
spring. 1t would be hard to select a month
when w~oolgrowers are not busy looking
after their fiocks.
Messrs. Blanchard & Parrott, woolgrow-
ers, have dissolved partnership by mutual
consent. and Mr.. Parrott will soon leave

are sorry to lose Mr.. Parrott from this
country, but congratulate Dawson on Sc
curing so good a citizen.
