The two lines were facing one an
other, with only short distance sep
arating them. A farmer rode into the
Confederate camp on a mule. Most of
the soldiers had been farmers, and were
good judges of horsefesh, SO that in
conversation with the old farmer the
merits and dement's of the mule came
up naturally for some discussion. Tt
was good mule, they agreed with the
farmer, "but," added the owner, eve
never seen another man that could
ride him."
This remark brought ON another dis
cussion. Several Of the soldiers pro-
tested that they had never been thrown
from o mule, and were willing to bet
that they could ride this one. One of
the most vociferous in praising his own
Workmanship was commissary. He
swore he could ride that mule, and
finally it was decided to let him try.
he had no sooner mounted than the
mule began plunging viciously, and
then he ran around in circle several
times at breakneck speed, the commits
sary holding on for his life.
Suddenly that mule made break
for the front. The commissary
sawed and shouted in vain. Ey-
cry attempt was made to stop
them, but the mule was wild, and
the commissary knew that IL he once
let loose he would have to be buried.

as the crow flies ON past the Confed-
crate outpoats and heading for the

Wherever we are at rest, and at

or dreams of love visit, that is
home. For since the cold sleet-

swallowed time out Of sight, there is
no landmark left but love, no home
but the home Of loving, no home but
where ones love is.-Extract from

The funeral-of John E. Hamilton took
place at Thinking Spring Church on the
22d and brought together large and
sorrowing audience. Rev. J. H. Taylor,
of Laurel Hill, preached the funeral
discourse from Psalms 49, :. he choir
gave some of their most select pieces.
The first-Thy Will be Done-was sung
at the opening and No. $50 of Gospel
Hymns When Jesus Comes to Reward
His Servants-was sung at the grave.
The general sentiment expressed was that
of sincere grief at the sudden bereav-
ment which was felt, not only by the
relatives, but by the community. Party
affiliations were lost sight of when this
many friends of the deceased Although
the common routine of events seems to
be undisturbed by this stroke of the re-
lentless archer, death yet in the hearts
of those who knew and associated with
John E. Hamilton there is an aching
void that will not soon be filled.
The cold wave that struck this vicinity
last Tue sday continues to be generally
felt here. There is some probability
that the ice houses may yet be filled.
On the first Sunday in February, Rev.
Mr.. Laird, of Texas, will be installed as
pastor of the Thinking Spring church.
Other noted divines will assist at the
ceremony.
