   Many people used come from far away to work for Sands and were thankful to get that food for they had nothing to eat.

   At one time there was a ghost haunting an old building and if anybody come near the ghost would appear and the people used fly in terror. A man of great courage came to the ghost. This man came to the ghost. When the man was getting the best of him the ghost changed himself into a bull and the man got terrified and had to go. The man told his story to a black smith and the black smith said he would go to fight him with his dog named Piper. If he turned himself into a bull Piper would bring him by the nose. Since the black smith and his dog appeared at the place the ghost was never seen again.
