His Retirement from Active Life is Being Constantly Inter

When Claude Leavitt left Carthage
to build his home at Black’s Mills
near Pinehurst he thought he had
retired from active life to become a
rural habitant and raise big com, and
visit with the mules and look after
his fish pond, and his clubhuose there
by the dam, and pursue a mellowing
advance into quiet old age. But he
built a corn mill at the dam that he
might see the water go over the wheel,
and grind his grist and perhaps run
a few grists for his near neighbors.
And the neighbors came with a
sack of meal, and stood around and
talked until it was ground, and Leavitt
put the meal in the sack,‘-taking his
toll in a friendly way,probably push
ing his thumb down on the scale as
the honest miller is said to do, and
v^hen his customers had gone they
sent others. There is a legend that
Water-ground meal is in a favored
grade of its own, and there at the
I.eavitt mill the wheel goes round and
^he water splashes over the buckets
and the gears grumble as the com
falls between the stones, and all is
highly picturesque. So more of the
neighbors came with corn, and the
miller hoisted the sacks up to the hop
per, and ground the grain and took
his toll, and held his thumb on the
scales, and asked questions of the old
settlers about water, and listenedi to
fish stories and all were happy.
And the neighbors came with sacks
of meal, and although Friday, which
is fish day, had been appointed as

the day on w’^hich to grind, they,
ctime on other days, and the miller
ground the grist and took the toll and
pushed his thumb down on the scales,
and all were happy, for Leavitt is the
making of a cordial miller, and he can
tell a good story and talk about the
happenings up and down the branch,
and the ancient history of the valley,
and the place is a delightful spot in
which to while away an hour or two
while the chattering wheel sings its
roundelay.
And the neighbors came with sacks
of meal because each who went away
told testimonials of the nutty flavor
of the water-ground grist, and the
miller found his acquaintance grow
ing and his favor broadening, until
they come <now all hours of the day,
and along into the night the wheels
go round and the geiars growl, and
the mill stones grind, and all is love
ly except that the miller is thinking
of striking for a shorter day. But the
neighbors come with sacks of meal,
and now they are temping that else
where the streams have gone dry,
£*,nd that at the Leavitt mill is the one
place in miles that water enough is
going over the flume to turn the
buhrs, good old rocks from the quarry
up in the Deep River country, and the
miller must stay there day and night
and serve the people. And he is won
dering if this is as interesting as it
looks. A white hat is romantic, but
hustling meal sacks all day and night
is work.
