Says the waynesburg Messenger: In
conversation with one OF our local wool
buyers this week, he said about three
tourths OF the wool clip Of this county
had passed into the hands OF buyers,
and q great deal had been shipped to
the east. He put Greene county's wool
clip at 100000 pounds, and said the
wool was put up in much better con-
dition this year than past seasons.
Much of the clip is of q fine healthy
quality. Putting the clip at 100000
pounds, and the average price twenty.
six cents, the wool growers have and
will receive for the present years clip
$4,000. This is quitea handsome sum
for tho farmers to rake in in one year
from this one source Of their money
getting. The wool industry means
much to the people OF this county, and
especially the farmers. Doubtless most
every farmer has ample means to in
croase on this line by owning larger
flocks. s. W. Scott 4 Son, OF this place,
have purchased thisyear3 $4,000 pounds
OF the clip, aud are now shipping. The
market Is not very active. Prices, 20
and q cents.
