SAD STORY OF YOUNG WOMAN
WHO GAVE UP FRIENDS AND
VIRTUE FOR AWFUL

The Montgomery Journal tells tue
following sad, sad story Of life and
death.
Georgia Holton. a woman we'll
known among the women Of the ualf
world, died yesterday afternoon in a
cell at the city prison about 2 o'clock
She was arrested Saturday after
noon by Odlcer T. J. Swearengen,
and a charge Of drunk was dOcketed
against her. She was arreEe at
West End ia front Of storS land sp
peared to be in drunken stupOr
She was brought TO police headquar-
ters in a hack and locked up. she
stayed in the cell and nothing was
heard from her until yesterday, when
she begged for morphine
At 1870 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Omcer John McDade went to the cell
to see Whist the woman waited, as
she kept calling. He talked with her
awhile and she begged for morphine.
At o'clock an officer went to her
cell and found that she had died
There is a sad story connected with
the death of this woman. AT one
time she was married 10 a young man
and they lived about ten miles from
Mont gomery, she helping her nus
band to run a store. Life seemed to
be all happiness for the young couple.
Her husband after some time noticed
that his wife was acting strangely,
and he was dumfounded when ne
found that she was eating morphine.
He lived with her for some time after
this, but got g divorce. He still loved
his young wife. and it is said that az
ter a short separation they were mar
ried again. He lived with her Tor
some time. and then left her again.
From what can be learned his wife
began drifting into a life Of degrade
ton, and finally became a woman of
She half world. Her craving for NOR.
phine, or dope" continued all the
time, and up to the minute of her
death she was crying and begging for
the drug.
Morphine was the ruin Of her. She
had a happy home and lived a virtu-
Gus life; she had a good husband who
loved her dearly. but the drug got the
best of her better self and brought
her down to the lowest of human
creatures. She gave mp her nome
and her husband and her virtue co
satisfy the craving for morphine
She came down from happiness to
worry and shame and ended it all by
leaving this world while locked be-
hind prison bars under the infu-
ence Of dope"
She was to have faced the judge
this afternoon on a charge Of being
drunk, but now she stands before

VARIETIES OF MULES.
The CIassiGca ton Depends Upon The
Work They Are to Do.

The CIassiGca ton Depends Upon the
Work They Are TO Do.
"The classification of Missouri's
great product, the mule, is the hardest
Of all live stock" said a dealer to a
Kansas City Star reporter.
"To most people the animal is sim
ply a mule, with a strong inclination to
emphasize his presence with a kick.
To most buyers be is. good or bad, large
or small, smooth or rough, will prob
ably bring a certain price on the mar
ket or VIII not be wanted at all.
Among dealers who supply the differ
ent demands he is classified according
to weight, bone, size, color, age, mouth,
teeth, broken or unbroken, length and
breadth and also in regard to the 10
cality of the buyer In the first place,
green, un5roken mules are never want
ed. Once in awhile we receive a few
and generally have to sell them at a
sacrifice The principal classes Of
mules known TO the market are cotton
mules, lumber mules, railroad mules,
sugar mules, farm mules, levee mules,
city mules and miners. Miners are
classed as surface and pit mules.
Cotton mules are the commonest
kind in regard to number. Their build
makes little difference so long as they
are smooth. Lumber mules are the
largest, heavy boned, rugged grades,
1913 to 1872 hands OF. better. They are
used in the big lumber camps for log
ging and must have the weight Tor
good heavy pulling. Similar to the
lumber mule is the railEoader. He
Is used In grading, hauling and all
the work that is known in the construc-
ton Of railroads. Sugar mules be-
long to the fancy class. They must be
smooth, built rangy, small head and
neck, small bones. Farm mules vary
In size but are formed from the reject
ed ones Of the foregoing classes.
"Levee mules, rs the word implies,
are used fear steamboats, and docks
for the heavy work. They are general
ly single workers and must be Of the
rugged'class. Their looks matter little
so long as. they are sound and fit for
hard work. A city mule includes the
small, light grade, such as you see on
delivery and transfer wagons. The
high prices in the last year have re-
duced the number greatly.
"The miners are the hardest class 70
supply. They must be either a dark
bay or black in color. White and sor-
rel mules are never used. Where the
mines have long shafts, in the Penn
sylvania coal regions especially, they
say a white mule resembles a ghost
and frightens the other mules beyond
control. The pitters must be long in
body, heavy boned and have good
weight
THE government buys all classes Of
mules but that is done according TO
and prices bold a wide range.
1t never buys a LOW priced animal, and
It IS rigid 30 its examinations.
