Find Whisky Bottle in
Corner Stone: Bone Dr..

NORTH VERNON, Ind. Aug. p.
The statement by older citizens
that a quart OF whisky was placed IN
the corner stone of the school build
ing at Vernon when it was laid "a
years ago. caused much interest
when the building was wrecked to
give place to new consolidated
township school.
A committee composed Of the
county superintendent of schools. the
township trustee and several citi-
zens was present when the wOrkmen
opened the stone. It was found TO
contain a Bible. the Vernon Banner,
printed on July Il. 1853, and vari-
Gus documents, all in a splendid state
of preservation The bottle was
found with the seal unbroken, free
from crack or break, but bone dry.
The old stone has been used as
the corner stone for the new build
ing. Manuscripts giving present-day
data on the schools. churches and
organizations Of the township, pic
lures of buildings and historic spots
and names of school teachers and
township officers werC placed in it.
All the documents of the old stone
were replaced and the empty bottle
was included as a symbol of the
present era of prohibition.
