Faith House Went To Depot for Load; "Smithy" For Shoes Along with interesting historical facts concerning Rutherfordton citizens recall a horse known as " Old Jake," who was a popular, interesting and useful figure about the down during the early years of the present century. Jake had a job which he did, knot only with diligence, but also with an extraordinary amount of intelligence. It was his duty to pull the local express wagon to and from the Seaboard and Southern depots. Scott Griffin, the agent, harnessed him to the wagon at the express office on South Main street, tied up the reins and went leisurely about other duties while Jake winded his way over the poorly kept road to the station in time to meet the incoming train. Mr. Griffin followed later with some of the hack drivers and would find Jake with the wagon parked under a tree near the station. When the station whistle sounded Jake would slowly and deliberately back the wagon up to the platform for the daily express, and without a word, proceed back to town as soon as it was loaded. A local blacksmith states that when Jake lost a shoe he did not wait for his master to discover the loss, but would park himself in front of the shop for immediate attention.
