I see that one writer says that 1854 was a very dry year. That was be- fore we landed in old Bates, but I would like to hear from some onethat lived here in 1868 and see if they would call that a dry year. If we haven’t forgotten there was about 13 months that it didn’t rain enough to amount to anything and water was very scarce. There wasa spring on the farm now owned by Claud Berry and we got up before day to see who could get there first to get a barrel of water. If the other fellow got there before we did, all we had to do was to sit down and wait ’till the next barrel run in. You can guess what kind of a time we had.
