If you are ever at this time of year
up on the Old Passadanky sit down at
the Buckhorn tavern, select any one
of the grizzled woodsmen you will find
already sitting there, exchange a dime
at not too infrequent intervals for a
certain tipple that is popular with the
natives and is called rum and tansy,
and refer inquiringly to Old Beelzebub,
the remarkable bear of Spook Run
gully and the amazing Christmas pres
ent he made to one Paley Since.
AS the story goes, the oldest settle:
ment in all that part of the original
wildwood was at Passadanky. The
deep gully and the creek that roared
through it were there when the first
settlers came. Neither had any name,
and it was not until folks began to see
ghosts along the creek and in the gully
that appropriate nomenclature for
them was suggested. Silas Grubb, so
