Forty Years Ago
This summer has been a
ind no one doubts the fact
hot one
But re-
membering fcrty years ago, Nels An
lerson tell3 of working in the quarry
?ast of town and that the weather
vas just as hot then as now, but that
t rained seme during the latter part
of the summer, although not nearly
enough to insure a good crop of corn

Df 1S94.
Still After Water
The city council of Nehawka have
been having test wells sunk in the
'icpe that they may find an adequate
supply of water for the new water
works system which is to be com
Tienced as soon as they shall nnd a
supply of water in volume sufficient
to supply the needs of the town. In
all, three wells have been sunk with
most unsatisfactory result, and they
are about at their wit's end. To aid
in the search for a good vein of wat
er they have secureel the services of
i water witch in the person of Henry
Wallenseick. of Syracuse, who after
he had experienced the thrill which
comes when operating under the
WFPW, declared that at the point in
dicated water could be found at a
depth of 33 feet, but not in sufficient
quantities to meet the need, saying
that at 43 feet there would be some
stone and at 64 feet plenty of water
would be found. The drillers are at
work now making this latest test
well, having passed through the stone
and working in blue clay. Just what
the result will be, no one knows
Glen Rutledge. who is a member of
the town board, says he has no faith
in the water witch, but still he has
been employed to point the way and
let us all hope for good results, for we
need the water very badly.
Later an abundance of water has
been attained In the fourth test hole
