A correspondent says of the executive

I was seated on a split-bottOmed ekair at q
| plain table covered sith books, pamphlets

away in front, and at the side stands the
broom with which the room is swept. A

of the room, and thesWhole place looks for
all the world like half-kept students room

Atlanta Constitution: Every day and
all night we hear the bssso profundo of the
ballad singing mule. These animals, with
ears generally two to each, and about yard
in length, are now in the city by the thou
sands. We are informed by reliable gen.
tleman that during last week over 10000
mules were sold IN this market. OF this
number about 200 were sold during the week
at retail. This trade is not considered very
great at present, but the wholesale trade is
greater than it has ever been at any time
during the present season. So densely are
the stables packed with the lOng-eaTed reps
resentstives of Kentucky and Tennessee
that the propTietOrs are at a loss to find some
place in which to store them. Yesterday
there were fOEr hundred mules and horses
at Clint TaylOr's stables, and many more IN
the various stables and lots in the city. The
mule trade can now be said to be in its
prime. The city is filed, and has seen tor
the past week, with scores of buyers and
traders from all sections of the state, who
visit Atlanta for the purpose of huying stock
at wholesale. Is q stock market, Atlanta
is to this section what Louisville is 10 the
west. Last year $4,000 mules and horses
were sold in this city. This number viii be
greatly increased this season.
