April 21, 1841: The Whig reported on two stray mules. âTaken up by Thomas J. Cox, of this county, five miles south of Jonesboro, two Mules (sic), one about 12 hands high, and the other near 14 hands â both dark browne (sic) â valued by George Reed and Calvin Howe, both to be worth fifty dollars.â
âThe owner is requested to come forward prove this property â pay costs â or they will be disposed of as the law directs.â
The Whig was a newspaper published in Jonesborough, which was also spelled as Jonesboro at the time.
Fifty dollars in 1841 is now worth about $1,511. (Source: www.in2013dollars.com)
