1T PAYS TO RAISE SHEEP.
IN Audrain Wool-grower's Talk Re
garding the Sheep Industry-The
Dogs q Drawback.

"The w~ool-growing business"
remarked Nj. J. w. Ellis, who is
attending court in Mexico, sis the
best paying industry 1 know of for
country folks, especially in Audrain
county it is especially adapted, 1
think, to sheep,raising. In six years
it has brought me, over and above a
good living, $4,000 clean cash. 1
have 1900 head now, some of them
out on the shares. / let a farmer have
80 sheepfor half of the proceeds and
it almost invariably pays both of US
handsomely If it was not for the
lack of money in Audrain county
the sheep industry would character
ize Audrain as a leading wool-grow-
ing county. One man can care for
500 sheep easier than he can feed
one car of cattle; myself and one
boy attend to our flock and | hire
extra help only during harvest time.
Even at the prices of wool that pre-
walls at present farmers in this coun-
ty can better afford to raise wool on
land worth twenty dollars per acre
| than cattle"
"My sheep" continued Mr.. Ellis,
"cost me on an average per annum
of 81 a head; of course a farmer must
have a right good number before he
will expect to keep them this cheap.
A sheep will bring me about Sc
per year-$2 worth of wool and I
calculate the increase at 81"
"What are the worst drawbacks
ill the Industry"
"Well, I believe my experience
is that the common country dog is
the greatest enemy to the sheep and
the owner. l lose from $40 to $50
OF my profit every year on account
of these pestiferous worthless ours.
They run the sheep, aggravate them
and kill the old sheep as well as the
lambs. If the law was enforced we
would suffer less from dogs; the
law is sufficient, | believe, if strictly
enforced. They don't always kill
them to eat, but it seems to be a
sheep-killing dogs ambition to ex-
terminate them"
Mr.. Ellis has just purchased the
John Ellis farm of 800 acres, II
miles northeast Of town, and will in
crease his wool-growing industry. He
now has 500 acres of Audrain soil
and commenced work in the harvest
field to get a cooking-stove to be-
gin housekeeping. Mr.. Ellis is
now a happy, well-to-do sheep
raiser of Salt River township, who
enjoys life as well as the LEDGER
every week.

A PRETTY
The Marriage OF DR.. E. s. Cave and
Miss French Duly Solemized Last
Wednesday Might.
From the sheIbyville tul., Union.


Wednesday night at s at the
home of the brides parents in Pick
away township, DIR. E. 8. Cave of
Mexico, No., and Miss Margaret
w. French were joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock, Rev.tD. F. Black
of Peoria uttering the words which
united them for life.
The groom is one of the leading
physicians of Mexico and in the en-
ioyment of a lucrative practice.
The bride is the lovely and accom-
plished daughter of Samuel French,
one Of Shelby county's respected
citizens and most substantial farmers
and stock raisers; a young lady de-
servedly popular in Shelbyville and
Shelby county society circles-from
which she will be greatly missed.
The affair was quite largely at
tended and was one of the notable
society,event of the year. The bridal
costume was a poem in white,
the dress of bengaline silk, en- traine,
was a triumph of the dressmaker's
art, and the happy young lady look
ed bewitchingly beautiful as the
wedding party took their positions
beneath a beautiful wedding bell Of
evergreens in the spacious parlor of
the old homestead and faced the
clergyman for the celebration of the
event of their lives. The ceremony,
a most impressive one, was render
ed superbly beautiful by the clear
and distinct responses of the con-
tracing parties, who betrayed not
the least semblance of timidity or
embarrassment. This was no
doubt due, in no small degree, to
the gallant conduct of Mr.. Rodgers
Of Mexico and Miss Neva, the
younger sister of the bride, who
supported them grandly through
the "trying ordeal" Miss Hattie
Bivins of this city played the wed,
ding march.
After the ceremony, the usual
congratulations were waived and
the assembled company repaired to
the dining room where an elaborate
lap supper was served to the de-
light of all present-and especially
so to those from Shelbyville, whom
we have every reason to believe, had
been fasting for several days pre-
vious in anticipation Of the ample
spread which is assured to all who
are SO fortunate as to receive 6
bid to partake of the hospitality o
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam'l French. The
host and hostess, it is needless tt
say, sustained their well-earned rep
utations Oh this line. And so also
their guests from the city-ai
hearty eaters. The brides cake.
a delicious victory of the culinary
art, was composed of two layers
the upper to appease the voracious
appetite of the gentlemen, contained
a button, while the lower, prepared
especially for those of the gentle
sex present, concealed airing. Miss
Ada Bland of Todd's Point secured
the piece of cake containing the
ring, thereby showing beyond cavi
that she is to be the next one tc
face the heavenly happiness of the
hymeneal altar, while MI. A. II
Pollard received the piece contain
ing the button-and blasted hopes
for it doomed him to a life of sin
gle blessedness(?).
The contracting parties were the
recipients of many useful presents:
not the least of which was a fam
lily Bible, the cover of which hid
from view a check for $1,000,
present from her father to the bride.
