|DANIEL BOONE'S
OLD TRAIL EXPOSED
By Sewer Excavation At Corner
OF Main and SecondLOld
Time Tales Told

The old Daniel Boone trail was
struck about three feet under the sur
face at the corner of Main and Sc
cond streets this week as the John B.
McLane Company proceeding out
Main to the west, with the main
trunk sewer, reached the big cistern
at the corner. The big brick cistern
has not been in use since the water
works system has installed a number
of years ago.
Three feet down, a stratum of rock
road shows very plainly and immedi-
ately on top, three is about foot of
dirt which old timers say was the
"mud road" that was placed on top
of the original rock highway, When
the proposition of piking the state
highway on to Lexington became
agitated back in the early f40s. There
is said to have been strong senti-
ment against improving the roadway
and making it passable for teams in
the winter. Quite a number declared
themselves for mud roads. A promin-
ent man said Wednesday that many
OF their descendants are living today
in Madison and have inherited many
of their forefathers' traits. Anyway,
the issue of rock or mud roads was
fought out and during the campaign,
friends Of the rocked highway,
brought in some real dirt and spread
it over the parts Of the highway that
were travelled principally. When it
rained the mud is said to have been
two feet deep at the corner of Main
and Second streets and the excava-
tions clearly show the mud layer. But
the rock advocates won and the pike
was built on to Lexington.
Old timers are telling different
stories Of the use to which the large
cisteln was put when the water it
contained was the only safeguard
against fire for this section of town
The c;stern is said to have been
pumped entirely dry at the time the
old Glyndon Hotel burned. At another
time, store caught fire, and many
were carrying out goods to save them
A gentleman named Parrish saw q
negro youth slipping off with several
bundles, and catching him dropped
him in the cistern, and went on fight
ing the fire, When the blaze had beer
extinguished,, Mr.. Parrish remember
! ed the young negro and went to the
cistern, It was. said that. if the boy
had been two inches shorter ir
height he would have drowned, but
that by standing, on tiptoe. he. had
able TO keep; his nose above water and
SO was fshed out. SOC ,...-
Many other, tales are told of the
early days before modern conven-
fences We're to be had. The Daily
Register would be glad to print rem
iniscences of those days if any of its
readers will kindly supply them.

Mr.. Piggy Goes on
A Bit of A Journey
A True Story

In the year 1917 my brother'in-
law was working in the country.
One day the farmer he was work
ing for said to him, Here, you can
have this" and gave him a little
pig.
He brought it home and put it
in the shed. On Sunday we went
out to feed it and it was gone.
There was a woods close by, so my
sister and went over in the woods
to look for it. There were some
other little girls playing in the
woods. So we asked them if they
had seen pig and they said mo"
After awhile we forgot about it.
One of The girls suggested that we
make playhouse, SO they all said
yes, and went on a little piece far
ther, hunting place for our play
house. After awhile Thelma, one
of the girls, espied big place
down in the ground. We all said
that would be just the place for
our playhouse. We started to go
down in it, when we saw something
crawling along on the ground. We
soon found out it was snake. My
sister started to 60 down in the
hole to pick it up, when we let out
yell that brought our brother-in-
law to us, and he was just in time
TO stop my sister from picking the
snake up.
On Monday morning at breakfast
he told us he thought we had found
the pig. Monday night, when he,
was coming home from work, he
happened to stop at neighbor
lady's home to buy chicken for
Tuesday dinner, when he saw a
little pig. He asked her where she
got it and she told him it had just
strayed there. He explained how
the farmer had given it to him,
and she gave it back to him. 1.-THE

him eagerly devouring large jelly

his lunch, however; he saves part

large napkin, he carefully places

starts out on an exploring trip.

peared. He searches the vicinity.
but nowhere can he find that
precious lunch.
A tangle of bushes near by offers
some misunderstanding berries, and
Johnny in despair, catches up his
basket and starts towards it, think
ing this the only chance for
supper.

something glides by him. He looks
down, to see slippery, Shiny
snake. Johnny needs no second
look, and, dropping basket and
berries, he turns and runs. He
stumbles over the root of a tree
and falls in heap. He does not
get up and rush madly on as he
would like to. He lies there, too
paralyzed with fear to rise.
1t is dusk and still Johnny's pros
trate form lies where it fell. Night
comes on with it's soothing black
ness, but now figure bends over
the little heap and Johnny's father
lifts him in his arms and carries
him home.
Nothing was said by either father
or mother concerning the runaway
next morning, but both thought
that Johnny would never enter
upon such an enterprise again

Johnny, the Runaway

Ten-year-old Johnny was seized
with the desire to run away. He
soon put it into action when his
mother went out to do a mornings
shopping. He got out his fathers
old sweater and fishing rod. filled a
bucket with goodies, and secured
a blanket from his bed. The latter
was to be used in making a tent.
Thus laden he set out for the
nearby wood which was to furnish
his hiding-place.
We next see him dangling his
legs in the cool water of the brook,
in his hands he holds the fishing
rod. Bob-bob-the cork goes un-
der and Johnny begins to jerk the
line vigorously. Snap! A broken
rod! And Johnny with wide open
eyes stares at the end of it as it
floats out to the middle of the
stream. The water being rather
shallow, he jumps, in and starts to
the rescue of the rod. He has not
gone far when he utters a scream
and turns limping toward the bank
AS he drags himself on dry land he
shakes his left leg fiercely. On the
big toe hangs a greenish gray OBJ.
