Had you asked, three months before this time, who Jerry was, the stable boss, if you were a man, would have told you in most vivid and picturesque manner, which, though it might have shocked, would have forever impressed you with Jerry's character. If wom- an, the stable boss would have said, after little time to collect in his mind words to fit the occasion: sHe is the vi- ciousest, contraryest, stubbornest, wick edest and worst kicking mule in all the Lehigh & Will1es-Barre Coal company's mines"
 In the first place Jerry had bad record. He came from the south with a lot of others, and was sent down the mine to wear his life away in the damp, lamp-lit darkness, pulling heavy cars during the day, eating mush and corn, sleeping in a little stall, and having rats as large as kittens run over him at night. This was decidedly objection able to q mule of Jerry's high spirit, but he apparently realized he could not help himself, and forthwith proceeded to make life as disagreeable as possi- ble for those who had anything to do with him; he could work if he wanted, and when, as the drivers said, he had "a working streak on" he could pull a heavier load, and do it quicker than any mule in the mine; but he did not always have working streaks on. , He was not different from ordinary mules, except in one particular; his hind legs when he was walking ap- peared to have no joints; one miner, when Jerry's life as mine mule com menced, remarked this fact and said: ''That mules no good, his joints is stiff" and he scratched Jerry's leg with long wisp of straw. It ticlzled, and the man lodged just in time to es- cape Jerry hoofs, which splintered the end of car against which he had been leaning. Thus Jerry earned his reputation as vicious animal.
 He killed one man. The fellow was n brute and Jerry was obstinate at times, consequently the mule was some times horribly beaten and kicked. One day the fellow resolved to get rid of the animal forever, and mixed lot o1 broken glass with his corn. "There, , he said, as he completed the operation "that1l fix you, and he aimed a terrific kick at Jerry. The heavy-nailed boot cut open the flesh. Jerry's hoofs flew out with lightning speed and struck the man. In the excitement which fol- lowed, Jerry did not eat his corn, and his next driver discovered the glass and threw 1t away.
 Thus it was that Jerry sustained his bad reputation and added to it at vari- ous times, to the terror of the driver boys and stable bosses.

The Ripley Bee is tifty.two years old.
1t has outlived many able and excellent
proprietors. Among them we hold in
kind recollection, Oscar F. Shaw, a
cousin of "Josh Billings" and not whit
behind his more celebrated relative in
the matter of fresh and sparkling wit.
Then. there was that genial fatherly
soul, Judge Charley Campbell. Never
q more fearless, able or conscientious
man welded pen in the cause OF pat.
riotism and humanity. His successor
was Tommie Snifin, q forceful, pleasant
writer and wit of wide renown. Over
the graves of this brilliant trio has often
fallen the tear of genuine sorrow. To
the writer, whose associations with
them in earlier years we're of the kind.
liest character, their memories will be
always dear. The Bee is now owned
and published by James g. Newcomb,
who has risen by his own efforts from a
penniless orphan boy to an enviable
prominence in the businsss and social
world. From the bottom OF our heart

QUE REVIVAL,
At MT. Zion and Mt. Calvary. Great
Spiritual AWakenig in the charge.

Rev. G. w. H. Smith, who recently
accepted a Unanimous call to our charge,
near Hillsboro, o, was our former pastor
for five years, and it was his energy and
zeal, which, with our help, built us two
churches and lifted the heavy debt off
parsonage, during his stay. Rev. Smith
held two weeks meeting at Danville
and one week at Mt. Zion. The charge
was wonderfully awakened to spiritual
life and great faith in Christ. The
entire membership was revived.
During the meeting there was an ad.

outlook now is that the membership
will be doubled in one year. Rev.
Smiths ability is we'll known and estab

powerful preaching mixed with faith
and intense earnestness awakens new
life in his hearers. Saint and sinner
hearing and doing, make great strides
for good.
The morning meetings were wonder

the sermon was only too short, for
scores were not only ready to pray, but
to speak. Rev. Smith frequently spoke
of the great help his splendid singers
were giving: Gall sing, all praise the

all sing, for there was music in my soul.
To mention that we love, respect and
confidently trust our pastor, expresses
it lightly. Our glorions meeting closed
with the holy communion at each con.

After the reception of members, an
unique arrangement for the communion
was adopted, viz: All the new members

Obituary..

Mary Magdaline Spickard, wife of
John Weity, was born near Fairview,
this county, July 18th, 1928, and died at
her home west OF Hillsboro, January
3lst, 1896. She was married to John
Welty October 18th, 1850. To this hap
py union was born eight shildren, six
of these, two sons and four daughters,
with the father, are left to mourn their
loss. For over forty four years she was
loving and devoted wife and mother.
When about fifteen years old she
united with the Church of Christ under
the administration of Rev. Peter Heon.
Her faith in Christ never wavered. For
over fifty pears her Christian character
was an abiding influence at home and in
the community. Her Master could say,
"You are my witness"
The scene of her death was fitting
close to consistent Christian life. Her
death was as peaceful as her life had
been That she was ready for the change
which called her home, no one doubts.
Her life was in perfect keeping with her
Christian profession. Always cheerful
and always resigned. She has anchored
her soul in the haven of rest. May that
which made the home of her bereaved
ones desolate, make heaven nearer and
dearer.
Aud Let this feeble body fail,
And let it faint or die;
My soul shall quit the mournful vale
And soar to- worlds on high;
Shall Join the disembodied saints,
And find its long sought rest,
That only bliss for which it pants,
In the Redeemer's breast.
In hope of that immortal crown
I now the cross sustain,
And gladly wander up and down,
And smile az toll and pain
suffer on nv thr-escore years.. o.r~,
Till my Denverer come,
And wipe away his servants tears,
Aud take his exile home.

Before my ravished eyes,

They all are robyd iu spotless white,
And copquering palms they bear

Take life or friends away,
