COLUMBIA MULE CO.
6ETS BIG CONTRACT
FROM THE BRITISH
OUR ENGLISH COUSINS WANT A
LARGE NUMBER FOR USE
IN THE WAR.
TWELVE BUYERS IN THE FIELD
Mules Must Be From Five to Ttn
Years Old snd Range in Height
From Fifteen Hands to Fifteen
Hands Three Inches Fair Price.
Frank Dale, the manager of the
Columbia Mule Company, has receiv
ed a very large order from the Brit
ish government and has sent out
twelve buyers over the South to get
them within the ayecined time, No
vember 15.
The order for the mules was re
ceived Monday, and as the contract
is a large one, he at once got his buy
ers together and sent them to West
Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.
Mr. Dale will handle those which are
brought to the local stock yards.
The order is for mules between
five and ten years old and standing
not less than fifteen hands nor more
than fifteen hands three inches under
the standard without shoes. They
will be used by the British govern
ment in the war against the Ger
mans. They must be aged mules.
This specification will enable the
farmers of this and adjoining coun
ties to dispose of the mules that they
have been working for several years
at prices that will enable them to
realize a profit upon them.
Mr. Dale is very anxious that the
farmers of this county shall take ad
vantage of this offering to dispose of
their surplus stock. There has been
no demand to date for mules of any
kind. In fact, sugar and cotton
mules, the kind that have been in
heavy demand every fall for southern
shipment, have been a complete drug
on the market this year on account
of the paralyzed condition of the cot
ton market. This contract from the
British government will clear out a
world of them and help the farmers
to realize- on them.
Of course the buyers will be una
ble to pay the price that some of the
top mules have brought heretofore,
but the farmers will be offered
enough to dispose of them at a good
profit.
