prominent farmer of Mecklenburg county

the roads leading to the city, and saying

ter roads. He mentioned two tracts which
We're bought last year, one for Sis an acre,

cause they were so deeply imbedded in the

mystery as to how the oxen got the quilts
into their noses. Probably they had too
much curiosity in wanting to smell of the
