Here's Chance to
 Get Mule for $2O,
 and He's All Mule
By Associated Press

Grenada, Miss. August 6.-The tax supervisors of Grenada county have reduced the assessment on w. w.. Whltaker's mule from $50 to s2o the value originally placed on the animal by it's owner. after having raised the assessment to the larger figure.
 Tn letter to the supervisors MT. Whitaker stats:
 "In valuing this mule to the as- sessor at s20, I was extremely liberal with the county. It would have seemed too ridiculous to have placed him at his real value which, at the time of falling values. could not have exceeded sl0.
 q hereby make this proposition, to any member of the board, to any other citizen of the county or state.
 Give me s20 and take the mule, and may the good Lord be with you until we meet beyond the river.
 For inherent wickedness of heart and meanness of disposition this mule, in comparison, makes the devil a smiling cherub; for dlsinclination to dissipate useful energy this beast makes of the grasshopper model of industry"
