If any of the editors drink water
and it is probable some of them do
they can find in Hopkinsville more
different kinds of water than any
city in Kentucky can boast. The
water used for drinking purposes is
the purest and best of cistern water,
but those preferring well water can
be supplied with almost any kind,
from wells varying from 10 to 200
feet in depth. We have the finest of
mineral waters in the heart of the
city. The salt sulphur water from
the Dawson well is equal to Blue,
Lick, and the chalybeate water from.
the Buckner we'll, within half a
square of this Office, is almost equal
to the famous Dawson water, the best
iron water in Kentucky.
