' THIS MULE NO DOUBT HELD RECORD FOR LONGEVITY. Mounlville, July 5.?"Sally Culbert BO'n" of EkoiM is dead. She. passed away Saturday, June 2G, 1000. at the age of 3S year?, She was not a ua five of Laurens county but came here from Tennessee In is.t. when only years of age. That she left her home 1 id people of her own volition is 'I h" doubtful. It is believed that she v as either persuaded to leave her s ate and kindred, or simply brought here by some ?nie without being con sulted as to her own wishes in the '?alter. Such is the barbarity of mankind. Hut she came and good fortune or kindly fate or some other friendly Influence carried her to Mr. v. J. Culbertson's, which place be came her adopted home. Under the 1 tutorship of Prof. W. V. Wathins Sally received Ihm- first lessons in manual training and such other instructions as would tit her for her life vocation. This was another favor of good for tune, for under the wise teaching of Mr. Watkins she learned lessons ami' imbibed principles which served her well in after life. With this training, founded upon a naturally instinctive disposition for the best in life, n char acter was formed which was distin guished lor honesty, truthfulness, al truism, and faithfulness to every ob ligation and trust. If Sally ever went i io tar. or remained too long in the wrong direction, it was not because si ? meant evil. Inn such conduct must tittrlhuted t<> the f.-nt Hint her do si ?? lor pleasure, frei doni and recre ation would sometimes get control of heiter judgment. It was a lilting ' ken of affectionate esteem for her i ".amendable life that her friends, on R M day alter her death, placed In r ro i tains in a specially selected burying ground as their final resting place. Whatever else may be said of the subject of this little sketch it must I " -aid that, during her long life of i s< fulness, "Sal" was a faithful old mule. Tribute b> Another Writer. More or less all people of Laurens County and the surrounding country know (they certainly know of) "Un cle Young'" Culbertson of Bkom, as be is familiarly and affectionately called, and they were pretty generally "acquainted" with his old mule Sal.

Many are the thunder storms they have hurried Iron, and through as the COttOII and ti e corn would be wrestling with the grass and the watermelon ripening on the vine. Hut the faithful animal and dumb friend has at last gone from the Bide of her kind master. The merciful man regarded] his p, .vi".
