VALLEY FARM"
SCORES TRIUMPH
MISS ATWooD'S CLASS MAKES A
BIG HIT AT THE WOOD
ROW SCHOOL.

Valley Farm" a delightful little
four act comedy, was presented to a
most appreciative and large audience
at Woodrow School, near Sawdust
Valley on Friday night by Miss Mar.
garet Atwoods expression class of
the Columbia High School. It scored
a real triumph. The manner in which
the pupils acted the parts assigned
to them not only demonstrated that
they possessed true histrionic talent
of an unusually high order, but also
proved that they had received from
their highly accomplished teacher ex-
ceptionally good training. A delight
full feature of the evenings entertain
ment was the music furnished by pu-
pills of Woodrow School.
This school, although one of the
youngest in Maury county, has al.
ready established an enviable record
for its high class attractions given to
the people of that section. Prof Ev-
ans, the principal, has a number of
other high class entertainments be-
tween now and the close of the term

BIG NUMBER MULES,
/. BUT LITTLE BUYING
SUMMARY SITUATION
NUMBER OF THOSE ON STREETS
MONDAY CLOSE TO 1000
MULES.
PERHAPS 200 CAANGED HANDS
War and Sugar Mules Most in Dem
and, With Some Requests for
Small Mine MuIes.-No Buyer Took
Over Car Load Away from County.

The mule market was not nearly
SO good Monday as one month ago.
There were not so many sold, nor
were the prices quite as high as the
first Monday in February.
There were fully as many buyers
here Monday as a month ago. But
they were more "choosy" bunch.
They came here after a specific kind
of mule, and the supply of them was
so large that they had plenty of
range from which to pick them. One
buyer wanted war mules, another
small, mine mules, while third class
of buyers was after heavy, top sugar
mules. The prices on each kind
varied. Along late in the afternoon,
the buyers got them pretty much at
their own prices.
There was one kind of mule that
was not in demand. That was the
heavy, coarse, rough mule, which
was not quite war mule, nor in any
other class. They were carried back
home with but few bids offered dur.
ing the day.
The sales were hardly third more
than they were a month ago. 1t
would be about right to guess the
number of sales to foreign buyers at
200 mules. There were considera-
BILE number which changed hands
among the farmers in the county, but
the 200 were for expectation either
to other states or to foreign countries
for use in the war
There were close to 1000 mules
here during the day They came
clear on up to noon, and when the
buyers quit about four or five o'clock,
there were hundreds of them left on
the street They had to be carried
home for another first Monday.
No buyer on the streets took more
than a car load away. Several of
them bought between twenty and
thirty mules each. But there was not
single one which bought more than
this number The Columbia Mule Co.,
as usual, was the largest buyer, two
or three of their men being on the
streets all day They bought all
kinds Of mules.

FINE JACKS AND
STATIONS BURNED
LARGE STOCK BARN OF w.
WITHHELD is DESTROYED
BY FIRE.

MURRAY, KY, March 1.-The large
stock barn of w. l.. Withheld, just
outside the city limits near the fair
grounds, burned last night, and the
barn with its contents with the ex-
ception of two jacks was a total loss.
This barn had in it some of the finest
bred stock in this section of the coun-
try, including Sprague Patch, son of
Dan Patch, and which cost about ST.
500, Braden Gentry, son of John R.
Gentry, and worth about an equal
amount, Algerion and Favorite Cook,
each $1,000 stations besides some
jacks, one of which took the prize at
the Tri-State Fair at Memphis few
years ago. All of these animals with
the exception of two of the lower
breeds of jacks were consumed in the
flames.
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated, and it is thought by some that
it was of 1ncendiatry origin and no
cause for the fire can be, advanced.
Mr.. Whitnell had $4,000 insurance on
the stable. The contents of the sta

that, as general thing, did not ap-
peal to the holders of mules. The lat
ter were generally just about as I'M

sales that failed just because the own

er could not get together and made
but little effort to do So
While it would be impossible to
give anything like an accurate state
ment of the number sold during the
day, it is probable that at noon not
more than $50 had changed hands.
One buyer stated that he had bought
something over twenty and he had
probably purchased more than any
one else. These twenty odd head cost
on the average about $135. Probably
the average price on the mules chang
ing hands, however, was considera-
bly,, above that figure.
There were some exceptionally fine,
big sugar mules on the streets but
there were some mules, quite num-
Der of them, that were not at all de-
sirable. They were small and showed
plainly the effects of long hard win
ter. Tip top, big mare mules were
high. Those changing hands sold at
good prices, well above the 5000
mark, but as a general thing there
was the same inability of the buyer
and seller to get together that was
characteristic of the smaller animals.
Counting the local buyers there
we're probably thirty here looking for
mules. The biggest feature of the
demand was for army mules. More
of this class probably sold than of all
the other sorts put together.

Columbia had another big mule day,
hut the sales today will not aggre-
gate what they did on the first Mon.
day in February. There were as
many mules here today as there we're
four weeks ago, may be a few more,
but that is merely matter of specu-

" the same money that they paid
four weeks ago, but the owners OF the
mules asked a higher price than they
we're willing to take the first Monday
in February.
Mule owners figured that they
ought to have more for a mule that
had been fed through February than
they would have received for the
same animal a month ago, but the
buyers generally did not see it that
way. They wanted the mules, there
was no doubt about that, the large
number here being abundant proof OF
the demand, but they were not going
to make any long advances. For
these reasons the market was quiet;
it was rather a drag all during the
day.
The day did not start off with any
rush. The buyers, while anxious to
get mules, stood firmly upon a basis
