population of the p’uee is about one
thousand and the town is one long
street that makes off from the rail
road at right angles at d extends to
a large civek a hali'milo away.
1 iiis creek forms a kind offence for
one h;Jf of the park, which is ob
long, and the mountains on the
other side form the other half of the

nificent curiosity, .tie immense
quantity of water cou.hl readily run

through s : x or eight feet of water,
which is fine to drink. On the side

its way out unhurt through ail un

arc quite a number of rooms, of all
sizes and shapes. Passing from
one of these apartments to another,
we had to crawl through a tunnel o!
at lea-4 thirty feet and in this room
we found a bed of dead coals and a
pile of ashes, and a certain Jones
county man yelled out, “Let’s gel
out, boys, Hades is certainly not
far off.'’ The inspecting crowd, con
fainmg about an equal number of
gentlemen and lad'es, all enjoyed
the underground ramble and
thought the scone fine and one not
soon to he forgotten. The air h
said to be perfectly pure and is cool,
the si la Wi.lis are “humpy” and

you find pure white io"k. Juri out
of the cave the air is oppressive in

At 4 o’clock p. m. all leave the
park and wend their way to the de

At Americas, abo-ut a month ago,
Charley Pin'ips, son of W.S Philips,

This well lias a lus'ory which is ol
considerable interest. Twenty-five
years ago the bottom fell out of a
town well, which occupied that
position in the streets, and a large
part of the street cawd in aroitiid it,
leaving an ugly and dangerous* sink
in the middle of the street. This
occurence discovered the subterran
ean passage now used as a sewer. An
opening was effected to it after
much difficulty from the vacant lot
in the corner of Farkas’ Btables. The
well was bucked up from the bottom
and the work of tilling in arouud
was begun. It required a longtime
and a groat deal of dirt to fill in the
hole, but it was fl».ally filled, and has
proved a great advantage to the city
by giving it an important subterran
