say Of its editor, but II bitterly de-
nounced the cause with which he had
aligned himself and begged him TO de-

I have on my place now one mare
that has brought me seven mules. l
have used the msre for nine years
and have received $1,000, said d be
the value Of the mules, and have q
nice hlly colt worth 500, and the
mare looks almost as we'll as she did
when I bought her. The older mules
are sixteen hands high and weigh over
1000 pounds each. They have taken
several premiums at Jackson and 9th
or fairs.

raise a mule and answer, Twenty
dollars to get him ready for the col
