A TFIAIJF LOAD OF WOOL.

McClure & Graham Make the Biggest Wool Shipment In the History of the Count}*.

Just think of it! Fifteen car loads of wooll One whole train load! Nearly 150,000 pounds! Representing more than $25,000!

Yesterday afternoon McClure & Graham started a whole train load of wool from this city to the Philadelphia market. This is decidedly the largest individual shipment ever made from this county. This firm has been of vast advantage to the farmers of this county this sea-on. In spite of the decline in prices and stringency in the money market this firm has paid paid top notch prices at all times and the ready cash has always been forthcoming. But few farmers in the adjoining counties or even adjoining States hare had as good a market as ours, This is saying a great deal and wool raisers should feel under obligations to this enterprising firm who are always awoke to their interests.
