LETTER FROM NEW YORK Editor Cedarville Herald; Dear Sir: In yonr issue o f August 15th, you speak of-excavators finding remains o f a drilled well, in front of the Exchange Bank. I well recall that old town -pump. It was on the curb, if there was a side walk at that time and' in front o f Kirkwood’s Tavern. (I am not certain o f the name Kirk wood). The pump was about six- feet high, square, with beveled comers, and a long wooden handle.

The exhibit is planned to educate the Ohio public in the scope, purpose and importance o f public health administration, and Will be well worth the public’s careful considera tion. derstand that somehow the buses had the right of way. Maybe we thought so because the lordly driver had a long whip which cracked dangerously near where the small boy’s pants are tight. In the days o f the town pump, the creek had a wooden bridge, scarcely wide enough for two wagons to pass. .It had sides boarded up about four feet. The Barber Dam made a beauti- ful sheet o f water which backed t6 the forks, at which was the Bending Mill. Miv Martin Barber had a good water power saw mill, with quite an extan* sive log yard.

EDITOR’S NOTE—The article in the Herald in reference to the old well supposed to have been found at the Exchange Bank corner Created much comment among older people, many o f whom could not recall one there. How ever we find there was one on the Xenia avenue side in front o f what was once the Espy furniture store, a room occupied by C. C, Weimer as a meat store fo r many years. The workmen on the sewerage job soon found that what was though to be a well proved otherwise is it did not go down more than,five or six feet into the rock. The well Mr. Foster refers too in 4his letter stood on the site o f the opera house near the Old Tavern, Nearby was a cluster o f Silver Maple trees. The frame residence referred to was known as the Dillie property which stood on the site o f the Bird store. The Frazer dry goods store was then located in the same building now oc cupied by Brown’s drug store. The Mitchell store was located on the site o f Nagky’s grocery. The wooden bridge was later replaced with the present stone bridge, middle section, The Barber dam was just west o f the Main street bridge and the race passed where the Inman jewelry store is lo cated, The saw mill stood on the creek hank back o f the room formerly oc cupied by C. H. Gordon, The log yard extended from the alley at the Herald office to the race, letter he reports visits to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Beersheeba. He ays their party visited Tel Beit .lirsim where they found Dr. M. G, Kyle and party excavating, Enjoyed a trip across the Jordon and 100 miles mto the mountains and desert of jloab.

After obtaining the note judgment, the bank asserts an execution was issued to the sheriff to levy on real estate owned by L, O, Brickdl and Ada Fleming, situated in New Jasper Twp., but that prior to this time on June 80 the defendants had given Ray Gerard a mortgage deed on their land, pur* porting to secure payment o f two notes fo r $342.77 and 1257.28, payable to Gerard, the mortgage being repre sented as alien on the property. The plaintiff claims the execution o f the deed was without consideration and was made, entirely to hinder and de fraud the hank as a creditor and lien holder. The bank asks that the mortgage lien be set aside and that the property be sold with the sale proceeds applied in payment o f the $800 judgment.
