Big Demand For Mules Hundreds of heads of good mules have been shipped to Cuilman county this winter and spring, show ing, despite the heavy sales for years past, that there is yet steady demand for good mules. We often hear the question what becomes of all the mules sold in Cullman. as it's an undisputed fact the average mule is good for six or eight years service on the farm, and you seldom ever see a poor mule driven into Cullman bys a farmer of the coun- | Ity,ashowingi stock are well cared for but we must take into consideration the big territory surrounding Cullman. that as yet there is a steady increase in the widening of farming in our county, improved farm methods and growing need for more mule power on the farm.-Cullman Tribune. 1T
 A Day Of Pulling Togethcr.-This is, in- deed, a day of getting together, pulling to- gether and working together. We are about to see the result of such splendid, co-ordi. mated, cooperative effort in putting over the new hospital. Huntsville Times.
 Wrong Kind Of Boosting.-The great fault with some commercial clubs is that the sec retary expends his time and energy boosting himself instead of boosting the city and conn munity. What we should have is an organ ization that would aid in getting the right sort of farmers on the vacant acres in this section of Henry county. There is enough good land absolutely idle within a circle of fifteen miles of Abheville to accommodate hundreds of families And there are hun. dfeds of families in different sections of the country waiting for proper presentation of the facts of this sections Abbeville Herald.
 Contrary To elfInterest.-when you spend a dollar outside of your home county do you appreciate the fact that you arc con- tributing three mills fofy educating the ehil. fu fha ond 1aIr similar amount from your own educational funds ?-Sheffield Standard.
 Injustice To The Innocent innocent have always suffered along with the guilty, and until some method is devised whereby 1t Is possible for the man serving a sentence for crimes he has committed; to provide for his family at the same time, the innocent will continue to suffer. The state or county really. owes it to the innocenE sufferer to see that a part of the income from mans labor while serving time goesto his family. It is not right, never has been and never will be right to take man away from his family, when he is the whole support of the family, and leave the family helpless. We have no patience with the criminal and believe that when a man commits crime he should be punished, but we have the deepest syrny pathy for his helpless family. Huntsville Star.
 Change Of Name Needed.--The time has come when the business interests of Jackson- vile can no longer tolerate the loss incident to having the city bear the same name as a city in the neighborius state of Florida The losses in question are incurred through mail. matter, express and freight intended for Jacksonville, Alabama. being sent to Jack sonville, Florida. The abbreviations for the two states-Ala. and aEIa.--are so similar that mail and merchandise addressed to the city in one state stands a good chance of be- ing delivered to the city of the same name in the other state. As far as Jacksonville. Ala. is concerned, this daily occurrence has reached stage where the nuisance must be abolished immediately. The only practical means of accomplishing this much desired end is by changing the name of the Alabama city.--Jacksonville Argus.
 Burbank And BOIl WeeviI.--If Burbank has developed prune as big as a cocoanut. what might he do for the cotton growers of the South if he startedsout to grow a cotton that the boil weevil wouldn't eat We have always thought that Burbank, had he. been a native of the cotton states, would have been able to develop cotton that was i'm muhe from the boil weevil, for he has done so much to plant life 5out on the Pacific coast--Dothan Eagle.
