Old Gin, a mule with a history, died on the farm of Thomas Rodgers, near Lily Pond. The mule was raised by Mr. Rodgers' father and on the 12tli day o' this month would have been 421 years old. This mule went into service in the army early in the war and was in front of Shecman’a forces from Chattanooga to Atlanta and afterward was returned by. devious routes to the Rodgers home in Gordon County. During her long life of active service she was never sick, never balked, was never wounded in battle and never surrendered.—Atlanta Constltutiea.
