    in this well because it is a spring well.
    About five yards away from the well there is an old stone known as the Head-Ache-Stone and it is supposed that a light was seen on that stone.

  2. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    A stick in time saves nine.
    It is a long road that has'nt a turning.
    A bird in the hand is worth on the bush.
    Do not throw out the dirty water until you have the clean water within.
    Better born lucky than rich.
    What is bred in the blood will break out in the bone.
    A closed mouth catches no flies.
    Sense does not come before age.
    You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
