Where The Water Ran Cool And Clear By Col. Carlis B. Wilson The Water Was Cool, Clear and Good Tasting In the southwest section of Adair County where I was born and reared there was very few ponds because the water was in abundance. Just a few people needed wells because spring supplied the water for the homes of people in that section of the county. All springs, branches and creeks that run freely and most never run dry, even in the hot summer time. Most of these streams of water had no name that I ever knew of, with the exception of Harrods Fork Creek. A lot of the springs flowed out of a hillside and the basin was near the entrance of the spring. Some had formed basins for dipped the water and filling buckets for the family use. The water was cool, clear and good tasting . Sometime leaves and sticks from the trees would fall into the basins and cause the water to become bitter. However a good cleaning would restore the freshness as soon as the water cleared up.
