HEFLIN

Heflin, July 10.--(Special)-A mule which has been running wild for the past two years, in the mountains near Borden Springs, eastern part of this county, was caught yesterday
 Two years ago Paul Ferguson. of Borden Springs bought young mule from Cedartown, Ga, stock dealer the purchase price being $150. Before reaching home with his purchase, the mule broke loose. and all efforts to catch said mule have been futile. Wedz nesday Mir Ferguson was in town and told some of his friends of the loss of the mule. He said thatfthe mule was in a fine condition, and could be seen in the woods nearly any day. but that he could not even be approached The mule was getting into the habit of breaking into farmers fields. and ruin ing their crops. w. L. Bennett, a To- cal stock dealer, gave MT. Ferguson s60 for the mule and took chances on catching him. Thursday men and dogs secured the woods for the mule, and found bim, but after having chased the mule for six hours the dogs were called off. Friday. however. better luck was had, and now the wild ami mai is in the stables of the local deal CT. who is puzzled as to the best way of retraining his new purchase.
 A wreck on the Southern. about two miles from town, early this morning. delayed the trains for several hours A freight train heavily loaded pulled drawhead, 1t is said. and four cars of coal turned turtle. Only the coal was lost. no one being hurt or killed.

|AUDRAIN COUNTY
SHOWS UP WELL

Ed C. Ofutt, county superintendent
Of schools, attended the Northeast Mis-
souri, County Superintendent Conven-
ton which was held in Moberly We'd
nesday, and reports that from the
thirty-fve counties which are included
in this district twenty-nine were rep
resented there by their superinten-
dents.
George Melcher, president, and E.
NJ. Carter, secretary-treasurer of the
State Teachers Association, were the
principal speakers for the occasion.
The general theme of the meeting was
how to best help the rural children.
Mr.. Offutt says that the addresses
and general discussions lead to the
fact that better teachers must be OBJ
tanned for the country schools and that
to accomplish this the school boards
must be willing to hire the efficient
teacher regardless of what she or he
costs them. AS long as salaries of
rural school teachers are kept below
a living wage the profession will not
attract the kind of persons who can do
the children the most good.
Audrain County showed up we'll in
comparison to the reports made from
the other counties in this district, &C.
cording to Mr.. Ofutt. He has under
his supervision none of these exceed
ingly low priced teachers which some
of the other superintendent told
about. One thing concerning this
county which he says he was glad to
boast Of at the meeting is that in
about five adpjoining school districts
in n section of this county the low
est paid teacher gets 800 a month. He
feels, he stated, that no other county
represented in the meeting has a bet
ter ecord than Audrain.
