BIRDS NOW
City Park Will Have Some Members
of the Feathery Tribe Soon.

When in Lansing last week Mayor
Charles X. Murphy was assured by
the state game department that the
city of Alma would be given some
birds for Wright park, some of
which are expected to arrive here
shortly Others will not come until
fall.
Among the birds which are to be
sent here this year for the park are
golden pheasants, silver pheasants,
ring neck pheasants, wild turkeys,
and black wild geese. The pheasants
are expected to arrive here in the
near future. The other birds will
not be sent here until fall.
Mayor Murphy was also assured of
an albino doe which will be added to
the deer which are now in the park.
This will probably not come from
the state until early in the fall.

Twenty-Five cars of mules were
shipped last night and this morning
from the Columbia Stock Yards, ac-
cording to the report of Manager John
Cant. The mules were distributed to
Southern points, cars going to Muir
freesboro, one each to Haleyville,
Ala, Atlanta, Ga, Lawrenceburg,
Tenn, Lewisburg. Tenn, and the re-
mainder to other points in Alamaba
and other Southern states.
The quality of the mules on the
streets Monday was better than at
any other sale day this year, but there
was not quite so many and the trad
ing was not quite SO brisk as month
ago. Prices, however, held up re-
markedly and trading became more
active as the day progressed.
Two barn auction sales held the at
tention of many farmers and large
number of mules were sold at prices
ranging around 1925. Mules for ship
ment averaged about the same. The
mule business for the day from barns
and on shipments was easily more
than 100000 while large number of
trades were made between farmers.
The weather was ideal and Column
bia merchants reported one of the
biggest business days on record.
There appeared to be an abundance of
money in circulation and the people
were buying freely, the demand for
spring goods being unusual for this
early in the season.
Farm implement dealers reported
heavy sales and the automobile, trac-
tor and truck dealers had all the bust
ness they could handle. Autobobles
lined the streets on many blocks and

plants and looked as they had as
