Historic Spring Dry For First
Time.

For the first time in the recol-
lection Of the Oldest inhabitants
and the history Of the town, the
famous Sarcoxie spring, the source
of supply for the water works sys-
TEN, has gone dry, and this un-
heard of condition is attributed
solely to the drouth. Sarcoxie is
the oldest town in Jasper county
and was settled many years be-
fore the war, when the early inn
migrants discovered one of the
largest and purest springs in the
county. Through previous
drouths the spring has always
given an abundance Of water, and
1t is believed that when rain comes
again the spring will gush forth
once more.
