and raised in old Madison. Born
March, 21, 1890. I left Madison
Nov. 20, 1911 and come to Swain
County and was employed by the

made some money and saved

There is lots of lumber manu
factured here they cut from
60.000 to 70,000 feet per day and
finish'it ready for building pur
poses. But the shipping of lum-
