A Coon THrNG.-About q year ago II I
Bagley, our enterprising harness maker,
invented an attachment to prevent horses
from throwing their tails over the lines

patent office at Washington for inspec-
ton, but not until after he had given it a
thorough test, and in few days he re-
ceived a reply stating that his attachment
was patentable and advised him to
patent it. All who have used it speak off
1t In the highest terms and he will proba }
bly, have it patented in the near fut
Hiilsboro Democrat.
