listening and looking around the rock for about ten minutes AC were forced to the conclusion that It Dripping Rock is now as dry as a powder horn 11- I e discovered several small circular holes around its base which erv edidently funned some time ago by trickling streams but we found no fresh marks to indicate any recta t dripping We therefore inferred that this rock hail gone dryabout the same time Todd county went ttdry James and Horace told us that further up the hollow were other rocks well known on account of their dripping qualities and were called Sweating Stones Thy had passed some of these only a few dais before and noticed that the stones were still sweating bi- I drops of water These rocks wi likely continue to sweat until Dooms- day for it is an old saying that thei sweating is symbolic of what me must do on these hills and flats to U make both ends meet We continued our walk down th hollow but halted at many places Most of the timber below Lot Ga has been cut On many acres where forests once stood we found corn and tobacco fields The soil in this va ley is very fertile but unfortunately it is a cliff bound and almost inac- cessible ¬ narrow strip of land The average width of the hollow from Log Gap down to Buzzard Ball Yard is a little over 300 yards We passed an old saw mill site crossed a temp- orary ¬ bridge built over Clifty Creek peeped into a cabin
