He said the ‘‘old heads’ (at that time) hed all sorts of ideas as to how the “durn thing operated’'—altho they knew that whatever was ‘‘carried’’ by went ‘‘fast as lightnin’’’, Some were much “greener than all the rest about it. One of the latter, so be told it, made the remark: ‘I heard that it is to be a stout wire, and thet it wud run right across my farm. I believe, when it gets started and is thought safe, I'll just take the pelt of that sheep o’ mine thet died last week an’ make me a blame good ‘sheepskin’, an’ get on thet ‘lectricity wire contraption an’ ride back to Pennsylvania to see sum uv my ol’ friends."’ Sample of Each for 72s, Send ug a FP.
