WILD MULE CAPTURED The wild saule which has been at large through Northampton County for several weeks was finally captured last week by Percy Garner, colored, who lives near Mr. Fitzhugh's store. Percy stated he ran him down after a hard chase on last Sunday. Sun day must have been a good day for mule hunting, for the quarry had evaded and outdistanced many enthusiastic hunters pre vious to his capture. Hie owner is unknown and the mule does not show any evidence of ever having been subjected to a halter of any kind. In fact Percy said he was "just one ball of fire." He will be advertised by his captor and no claimant coming forward, Percy intends to break and use him in his farming operations, Buy your Christmas Cards from the large, assortment to be had at the .
