Evidence Of Progress.

The Danville Advocate says that
jurieS in that cOunty have lost their

railroad no matter what the allega-

that the base Of the tower has always
been immersed in water, and that a
deep cistern dug quite near seventy

worse.
The tower had already been con-
weakened by earlier exca-

"OLD NELL" WILL
NOW RETIRE
Veteran of Both Confederate
and Federal Armies 10
Spend Last Days.

Newport. August 24.-For year
the veterans of the civil war have
assembled in annual reunion, but th'
one domestic animal that saw ser
vice in both the armies, first the
Confederate and then the Union. ha;
never attended one of these old re
unions. She has never been blessed
with pension. but instead has beer
forced to do manual labor all the
time and it was not until Monday,
of this week, that her labors ceased
for she has been purchased by a
man who is determined that her
working days are over.
This animal Is "Old Nell" the
Burnett mule, a mule which was
foaled August 16, 1852, and which
has changed hands close on to 100
times, and now she is again in the
hands of Burnett and will remain
with him until death relieves her.
In 1880 this old mule left the Bur
nett possession, on the occasion of a
sale in which the estate of James M.
Burnett was settled. On that oc-
casion she was seen by Sanford Bur.
nett, then a boy of nine years, for
the last time. From time to time
the Burnett family received news Of
the old mules wandering and on
Monday while Mr.. Burnett was
driving a short distance from New.
port, he espied an old pair of mules
endeavoring to pull a wagon, loaded
with apples, out of a mud hole. He
instantly recognized one of the ami
mails as "Old Nell" and bartered for
her and when he had paid over a
sum of SIS the work days of the
old mule had ended.
She will be exhibited at the APP
palachian Exposition at Knoxville
and thousand of people will learn of
her record. Mr.. Burnett, who
travels for a Knoxville house, is very
happy to get the mule back in the
family and proposes to see that she
il wei cared for. She is a pitiful
locking sight now, however. There
are numerous marks on her body to
show that she has not Jared we'll in I,
the last few years.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1910-08-27

The history Of the old mule is in.
teresting On August l6. 1852, she
was foaled in Madison County,
North Carolina She was owned by
the late F. NJ Lawson, and it was
easy to remember her age because
Of the birth of John Lawson, now of
Washington, on that same date.
When she was a yearling she was
sod to James M. Burnett. who lived
IN Cocke County. Tennessee, on the
French Broad River. near Big Creek,
nov Del Rio.
During the war the mule was
pressed into service by Longstreet
while making preparation for the
siege at Knoxville. She was not
heavy enough for army service, but
in those days anything in the way of
mule was used temporarily. She
worked in one of the many forage
wagons sent out by Longstreet.
Sometime during the siege she was
captured by the Federals and was
brought back to Cooke County by
Federal scouts. Here she was dis
carded on the place of the late Jehu
Stokely where a better animal was
taken in her place. Stokely recogniz-
ed her, because of a peculiar mark
on the hip, as the Burnett mule and
she was delivered back into the
hands of James Burnett.
In those old muster days this mule
was used continually TO carry the
members of the Burnett family to
Old Newport. a distance of IL miles.
In 1880 she was sold at the Burnett
sale to the late David Susong for
sum of $3S Since then she has been
traded and sold scores of times and
it is safe to say that she has had
hundred different owners during
the past thirty years.

Never let hog wallow in mud
hole.
1t is of utmost Importance that sows
be kept dry and warm.
A good three-year welI-bred colt is
worth from $3.50 to $500. Does he pay
his keep?
Every calf should absorb sunshine
for at least two or three hours every
pleasant day.
The small farm is the ideal place
for the production of the draft horse.
Europe has proven this for centuries.
Colts will cause much less trouble
if their shoulders and the harness are
always kept clean and irritation pre-
vented
Good care does not mean pamper-
ing. A pampered colt is as worthless
as a starved one. There is happy
medium.
There is little profit in feeding scrub
cattle for beef, and less in raising
razorback hogs that require two years
to make pork.
Sheep and lambs that are seriously
infected with internal parasites are
almost impossible to fatten, and hence
are unsuitable for feeders
Hog prices have improved, and from
the various distributing points report
comes that porkers of better quality
are arriving. This no doubt is due to
the larger feed grain supply.
Tn he Of 20 hof
livestock and especially our beef cat
tie are so high, we find English buyers
in the yards at all times ready and
eager to buy for the London market.
Brood sows should raise two filters
year The first litter should be far
rowed near January 1 and the second

period and be sold in October.
