■ Frank Paxton, of Cherokee,
San Saba county, came over
Monday w|th his wool and sold it
Tuesday mfirning to Stokss Bros,
for 18|*cents per pound. This is
just a cent per pound more than
he was offered for it at Llano, his
nearest market the Same day.
Mr. Paxton had eighty-one head
of sheep, and he told the writer
that they brought him exactly
one dollarjand a half each in the
wool or this spring. He also re-
lates another curious fact. In the
year 1892 he had fifty head of
sheep, and took the wool to mar-
ket, but was not satisfied with the
price, and stored it for future
marketing. He drew $25 on the
clip, and the wool was kept in
storage for quite a while, finally
being sold,- and he had to put up
$13 to pay the balance of the ex-
pense which the wool failed to
bring. This was making the fif ty
sheep net him $12 in 1892, or less
than 25 cents each. Mr. Paxton
is not a republican, but be-
lieves Strongly- in protecting the
wool interests of the country as
long as manufactured goods are
protected by a tariff . ( Although
he lives nearly forty miles away,
Mr. .Paxton does most of market-
ing at LampaSas, an^ always has
a good word to say^ror the treat
ment he. receives here.
