Sad Mission.
A gentleman of Mississippi, an
aged man, was in Sherman a few
days ago on one of the Strangest
and most pathetic missions a man
was ever called upon to perform.
He repeated his story to several
of the the pioneer citizens of
Grayson County, and from them
gleaned the information besought.;
The story ran thus:
-“Shortly before the bfeaking
out out of the civil war I left my
home near Corinth, Miss.,to build
a mill in. Kansas. Longer time
was required than I expected
