It was a little kid when Stone- man raided this section and carried off its dad and mam, and it never knew the tender care of parents; It however formed a loving attachment to its master-James Chatham and was obedient to his every wish. But, remembering Stoneman's eruelty and beleiving all out siders were Stoneman men, it was. dangerous for them to ap proach- within gatling gun range of the mule; After ; his master's deaths it became the property of 'Mr. -Dodson 1 who married Chatham's daughter. The mule lingered .along- for years, but a few days . ago, at the age of 35 or '40, " it quietlv succumbed to a -broken ireart and heart failure. , Pqual Taxation, WILKESBORO, N.

The correspondent then adds for himself. "Well said, Mr. Sam, for I have a soft place in my heart for old Wilkes, and the way you talked to them kinder riled me against you and them too.
