Col. John May, who is well posted on the mule and stock market in this section of the State, says that the mules and horses have been a source of considerable revenue to the farmers this year. He knows all the buyers and saw nearly every mule that was shipped from here. He says there were fully 750 mules and horses shipped from Washington and Madison Counties at an average cost of $125 per head.
