The Cooper Brothers of Ches-
void (Moorton), have sunk an
artesian well into an oper vel
with a force pump attachment on
the farm of Thomas E. Bailey near
Kenton to give him greater facil-
tiles in his evaporation establish
ment. He is also contemplating
settling another force pump in a
well in his barn yard SO as to con-
vey water to his stock while under
cover. In sinking an artesian well
for ]. ]. Webb on the Garman
farm near Dexter's Corner are 165
feet deep and still boreing in a
sand stone rock The first SO feet
was blue clay, the next 20 feet was
black clay, while the lower part of
the sand rock through which they
are now boreing is a mixture of
particles of sea sheels and what
appears to be particles of bone,
thus giving an interesting feature
in the geological formation of the
substratum of our Peninsula. The
Messrs. Cooper think they may
have to go down 200 feet before
finding the proper spring water.

THE NATIONAL BANK The
paper hangers are finishing up the
wall and ceiling adornments Of the
National Bank of Smyrna which
are Of the latest designs and thus
ready to meet the gaze Of connois-
seurs. The paper on the wall is of
Bremen blue and old gold color,
the ceiling a new design to repre-
sent fresco, inlaid with silver and
gold and binders to correspond
with a panel Of gilt and light tint.
The dado represents leather paper
and Florentine bronze. The rear
part Of the ceiling adjoining the
vault is Of rustic design, inlaid
with silver and gold and corner
points set in with maroon. The
placing of it on the wall is a
credit to our mechanical skill
which was done under the super
intendency Of Joseph E. Carter.
The new counter is being put in
position today. II is composed Of
ash and bay wood, the latter form
ing the posts and in its panel work
and general design is very hand
some. It is surmounted by a
guard of bronzed iron, the whole
having a very pleasing effect.
William FAIRIES is also placing a
Phoenix heater in the basement
for the heating of the first and sec
ond stories Of the building.
