MADE FLOUR FOR TROOPS.
Old Mill in Cumberland Gap Which
Did Service in the Civil War.

There is standing at Cumberland
Gap, just across the State line from
MiddlesbOrO, Ky, an historic old mill,
which during the civil war ground the
breadstuff for thousands of Confeder-
ate and Federal soldiers.
The mill is located at the foot of the
famOus Pinnacle mountain on the south
side. 1t has an overshot wheel of the
old-fashioned kind about the same size
and almost Il duplicate of the noted
waterwheel which attracts so much at
tention neal the entrance to the Ten
nessee centennial. The mill was built
by John Locke, who came from North
Carolina about 1906. The stones which
formed the foundation of the structure
were hauled from the old north state
at a cost of $3.50. Locke operated it
successfully for many years, and after
he had accumulated n small fortune he
built n flour mill just above it. He also
erected a carding factory and an up
right sash sawmill. All the machinery
was run by the famous cav spring of
the Pinnacle mountain, which gushes
