Tuesday evening. April 10, 125 tt
$50 people of our community met al
the parsonage to show their love
and appreciation for what Rev. w
R. WOodell and family have done for
our church during the past year
Several songs and recitations were
rendered. The first speaker was
William Bennett, followed by Cove
Bennett, c. w. Daisey, A. H. Watson,
Prof. w. w. McGinnis and John
Williams. Miss Sara Lynch recited
in her charming manner "Matrimo-
NAL Experiment" by Thomas Dick
son, Jr, taken from the leopard
spots. Rev. and Mrs. w. R. WOOdell
expressed their gratitude and appre-
citation to our church and the Sound

and cake were served in abundance.
Duets were beautifully rendered by
Rev. Woodell and daughter, Miss
Alice All joined in and sang God
Be With You Till We Meet Again"
Closing prayer by Rev. Woodell.
We regret very much to part with
Rev. Woodell and family for they
surely have meant much to the
church and community at large. We
have had in the past year the best
camp meeting under his direction as
has ever been known; it being very
largely attended and many people
converted. Our REVEALS in both
churches have been just wonderful.
More people brought into the church
this past year then has been known
for the past ten years. Rev. Wood
ell is a power in the pulpit, but he
thinks it is best under the circum-
stances to accept a new field.
By Gods help we pray that this
will be one of the greatest and best
years in his ministry.
The last P. T. A. meeting met at
the school house Thursday evening
of last week. The program had been
very well prepared. Much credit
should be given to both the teachers
and pupils for such wonderful en-
tertainment.
The election of officers was next
on the program. They are as follows
for the ensuing year: President,
Mrs. T. S. Johnson; vice president,
Mrs. Cove A. Bennett; secretary,
Mrs. Vance McCabe; treasurer, T. S.

ton Of officers. We feel that much

CAN MULES REPRODUCE THEIR
KIND!

It is surprising how many people
think the mule is a distinct species
of animal capable of reproduction
The mule is merely a hybrid DrodIc-
ed by breeding a mare to male ass.
All male mules, and most females,
are sterile. There is no authentic
case on record of a female mule Civ
ting birth to a foal sired by male
mule. Thus mules are incapable OF
reproduction and it is impossible to
raise mules from mules. There are,
however, a few authentic cases of
female mules giving birth to young
when bred to packasses or stations.
In 1920 L. T. Branham, of Montalba,
Texas, reported jenny mule in his
possession which had been bred to
iackass and had dropped a living
fOal. The jenny was loaned to the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
College. While in the custody of
that institution the jenny gave birth
to a colt in 1925 as the result of be-
ing mated to a stallion. This colt, of
course, was only One-fourth ass.
There is no case on record of a fe-
male ass or a mare giving birth to
foal when bred to a male mule. AL
though the fact has not been def
nitely established, it is supposed
that mules were first raised by the
inhabitants of ancient Mysia and
PaphlagOnia in Asia Minor. When a
she-ass gives birth to a foaI sired by
a stallion the offspring is called a
hinny, not mule. The hinny, which |
is also sterile, resembles the horse
more than the mule dOes.-The
