USE THE WATER.
Several of Our citizens Use the City
Water.

Within the last month or two several
OF our citizens have had the city water
piped into their houses. 1t is very
clear and is good for all purposes ex-
cept cooking and drinking.
During the continued dry weather,
those who have the use Of the water
are in a position to appreciate the ad-
vantages of waterworks system.
Our business men should have it
piped in their stores and more Of our
citizens should use it.
The village bears all expense Of pip
ing to the curbing or edge of the side
walk, the balance of the expense tie
user pays, which will vary according
to his needs. The cost of the water
per 1000 gallons is low and the extra
cost of putting in connections, ETC., is
offset by the advantage of having an
unlimited amount Of water to draw
from.
The following is a list OF all those
who are now using the water:
G. D. Foote, hotel and barn.

EIIjahs Perpetual Motion Machine.

EnJhh's Perpetual MOTION Machlne.
Elijah T, Banning was the son of
Benjamin Banning, one Of the first
settlers of Huntington. He was a
bright active young man and an excel
lent singer, leading the singers at the
religious meetings held in the neigh
Dor hood. A school house was built
in the woods near the township line
between Huntington and Sullivan and
was jointly used by the young people
Of both places. Elijah was prevailed
upon to open singing school at this
point. A certain young lady, Miss
Patience Mart was one of his scholars
and favorite of the teacher. At the
close of the exercises they usually
sang Dundee, the words being:
"Let not despair or full revenge
Be to my bosom known,
0 give me tears for others woe,
And Patience for my own"
Whether he got the tears we are un-
able to say, but he surely got "Pati-
ence for his own"
These early times furnished but lit
tie work to do except chopping and
clearing land, which occupation he
faithfully followed. One job he done
was two hundred acres out of which
he saved farm for himself and Pat
ience. Following this and other oc-
cupations until his health began to
fail, he conceived the idea that mo-
tor could be made that would run per-
petually until worn out. He spent
much time and money in various ex-
periments with that end in view.
His means becoming short he compos-
ed song and tune that portrayed his
most likely plan and travelled from
place to place singing this song and
gathering up whatever money his list
ners saw fit to bestow. His mind be-
gan to fail and his friends thought
best to place him in the insane asy-
lum, where he remained for some
time, receiving no benefit but grow
ing worse. His friends were advised
to take him away, as death was near
He died in Rochester about 1850.
The following is the song sung by
Elijah described his "petual motion
Perpetual motion has been sought
BY men of science and Of art,
And when the powers were all combined.
This artful motion could not find.
Perpetual motion for to make,
We are forced to make wheel not round,
We are forced to make 1t seven square.
And then can use the powers that are.
The laws that rule this lower world,
Are brought to bear upon this Wheel
And II you do, those laws abuse
We soon will all our labor loose.
Now wheel roll round from west to east,
From norh to south the nations great,
You'll never tire we know right we'll,
And now wen bid you all farewell

Perhaps the true secret Of the success
Of the Botetourt Association Is that its
fairs are agricultural fairs in fact as
well as I'm name. and it has not subor-

farmers are interested in to attractions

The Dispatch has evidently stated the
case correctly. The special interest taken
by the managers OF the Botetourt fair
IN giving the farming interests prece-
