THE DUBLIN PROQEESS/THUB, MAR 15 1973
Circus Horse Drowns In Well At
Loyd King Resident; New One Dug
* Horses can be lead to water
t and cant be made to drink, Loyd
. L- King, 418 South Camden Street,
•Dublin, will agree; however, he
• has two wells in his ward to prove
that some horses don’t have to
j be lead t? a well to fall in and
1 drown.
-• King said the late Ed Bishop-
■j whose ancestors helped found
. Dublin, told him an interesting
-Stdry a few years ago about the
filled-ir. well in his front yard and
I a huge Clydesdale horse, which
.played hookey from the circus
,one day.
Around the turn of the century,
a big tfiree ring circus came to
Dublin. One of its draft horses
escaped, wandered into what is
now the King front yard, attemp-
ted to get a drink fron; the board
_ well, fell in and drowned.
, As a big crowd Watched, circus
employees removed the horse and
.butchered it to be fed to the
lions and wild animals. The cir-
j cus people later dug another well
,at the back of the house to re-
, place the old one. And whether
,qr not you believe the old adage
'about leading a horse to water-
, King said he will be glad to show
(you both wells.

This fine old fown deserves the unified help of ALL our
citizens to make it a still better place to live.
We need the help of experienced and dedicated men
and women in the mayors office and on the city council
to solve the problems and take advantage of the
opportunities facing us now and in the future.
LOOK AT OUR STREETS
Repair them now or it will cost many times more
to do it later on.
LOW WATER PRESSURE
In many parts of town we need to correct this problem.
OUR SEWER SYSTEM IS ABOUT 50 YEARS OLD
If this is not fixed to take care of our town for the next
ten or more years, we are in trouble.
These are but SOME of the challenge’s our mayor and
council must meet and resolve. This takes experience,
time, hard work and dedication.
