Not BUYING Many MnlAS.

The number of mules sold in Dawson
this winter is smaller than has been
known in many years Usually the deal
ers sell several Car loads of mules, but
this season it is doubtful if as MANY as
two carloads will be sold. This is due
to the financial condition among the
people. Many OF the best known plant
erS of this section have declared it their
intention to reduce their cotton acreage
this spring. A great many will be
obliged to do so, as the warehouses and
grocery stores which have been supply
ing them will cut them off, not being
willing to carry them any longer. The
amount of fertilizers sold will be con-
siderably less. In many cases this will
be because credit will be denied. Well
informed people who are familiar with
the situati IN in this section say that
were it not for these enforced conditions
the same amount of cotton would te
planted this spring.

MAY Be SENT TO THE ASYLUM.
MARY WILLS HAS LIVED IN A
BOX THIRTY-FOUR YEARS
Has Been Afflicted from Birth. and
Her Case Is a Pitiabie One.
A Writ of Lunacy

Mary Wills, whose pitiable condition
is known to readers of THE News.
an account of her afiiction written
by Professor J. H. Crowell of Par
rott having appeared in this paper a
little more than year ago, may be
sent to the asylum. A writ of Iunacy
has been taken, and Ordinary ROBERTS
will make some disposition of the
case within the next few days.
Mary Wills parents were Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G. Wills of near Parrott.
both of whom are now dead, Mr..
Wills dying few days ago.
She is thirty-tour years of age, and
from her birth has been sadly afflicted.
All OF these years she has sat in a
box and been waited upon by the
family. She weighs about so pounds,
and if she could stand erect would be
about four feet high. She can neith>
er stand CIR walk, however, her knees
being drawn up toward her chin like
one sitting on a fobr, and as her legs
are perfectly rigid and cannot be
moved at all she remains in the same
bent position all the time, whether
awake or asleep. She is perfectly
blind, has no mind at all and cannot
talk, but makes singular noise when
she is hungry or thirsty that is UNDER
stood by those who have always at.
tended her. Her arms are q inches
long and terminate with two small
hands which she can use to some
extent. Her wrists are very much
out OF shape, caused, it is said, by
beating her arms over the side of the
box in which she stays all the time.
Her parents both being dead, it is
thought best by some that she be sent
to the state sanltarium to be cared for.
Although she was a great burden to
her parents during their lifetime, re-
quiring their constant attention and
keeping them awake day and night
with her pitiful and peculiar cries and
noises, they cared tor her tenderly
and patiently.
There is doubt as to whether this
unfortunate being would be admitted
into the asylum if it were decided by
the authorities here to send her
there. but it is certain that there
ought to be some place for the care
ct such pitiabIe cases as this.
