Listen and Believe Owing to the fact, as has been made public, we have sold out our property at this place and have left on hand twenty good fresh-shipped Tennessee mules with probably half as many good grade, swapped-for mules, and owing to the fact that the sale of mules has been very slow we have been compelled to sell the mules which we have dis posed of this Winter at a very high price We had to do that in self-defence, but now the time has come when these mules must be sold to allow us to enter upon our new duties; so to prevent a'crash come with your cash and our word for it, we will sell you the cheapest lot of mules we have ever sold. That you may know whether we mean business or not, come and see for yourselves for this will be the last bunch of mules we will have for sale before the first of October.
