Vol. 27, No.3

  

Kestner Wallace recalls a mule from yesteryear, while John Lesjack remembers a diver for shells who just happened to be blind. Meanwhile, the Rebel manages the aging processes with his usual gracelessness, yet he does find a measure of solace in knowing he is not alone, and that contemplation is a country just waiting to be explored. Dixie Terry shares the recipes of summertime, William Searles recalls how French Illinois became British Illinois, and Paul Stroble contributes another chapter from an exceedingly rare book written by a traveler who visited Illinois in 1825.

These are just a few of the articles in Vol. 27 No. 3 of a magazine unlike any other, that blend of eclecticism and nostalgia southern Illinois style—Springhouse.

The other day I was delivering magazines to various outlets when it came to mind the "Easter Island" statue written up in the current issue was less than a mile away. Taking a break in deliveries, I decided to pay the statue a visit, and did. Impressive!
    The gentleman who discovered the wooden oddity bobbing up and down in the river was pleased to see his adventures written up in Springhouse. In fact, his enthusiasm made my day. Ah, but there were further deliveries calling me away, and away I drove.
     The statue can be seen at the Rosiclare Park there on the river. Where it came from no one seems to know.
     It just is. Kind of like Springhouse.
