MILL AT WEST CHESTERFIELD.
Where There Used to Be Bolt for Max
ing Flour

The 'Keene Sentinel has received from
Ellen NJ. Shumway of kearsarge. \, H.,
formerly of Chesterfield the following
communication suggested by a recent
item in regard to the need of a. bolt or
bolts for handling grains in Cheshire
county:
I'm reference TO a recent item in regard
to the need of bolt in Cheshire county
would like to relate what may be
matter of ancient history. Sometime in
1860 my grandfather, Alpheus Snow of
West Chesterfield. built in that village
grist mill; and therein he had placed a
bolt for grinding wheat. | know whereof
j speak as sewed on the bolt of fine rich
silk material under the instruction of an
expert. know the mill is still standing,
bat do not know if the bolt has been
kept up. 1t would be a great pleasure to
find that it was again in active use and
helping to win the war;
Inquiry leads to the conclusion that the
mill referred to is the Farr mill. which is
still standing, but probably not in repair
Two former residents who have been seen
are quite sure the bolt has not been there
for q long time. The mill was sold to
/ Curtis Chickering some years ago and q
new penstock put in. Since then it has
gone to pieces. more or less. There may
be set of millstones there, but probabl,
no bolt.

Battle painting is simply a project for

colors, distorting her appearance SO as
to destroy her general symmetry and

Frequent, reports appearing some
times in the newspapers, confirm the
success of the system, and prove its
value of defense against the submarine.

story of an encounter between baf-
