shoulder of III. S. Sheets, who started on
the run for the mill. The mud was sew
era, inches deep and Mr.. s. was nearly
played out when j. A. Turner came on
horseback, raised the sack, and in Just
one and One-half minutes the grind ers
of Moss Creek Mills sat down on it. In
Just two minutes it was ground, passed
through a single reel bolt, and i'm one
minute and quarter more Sheets had
taken it to the house, 200 yards away,
and delivered it toAIrs. Lawton. In one:
half minute more it was i'm batter, and
