    This man has great strength; he can break a six inch nail in two halves He wanted to get nine to pull his tow hands joined to-gether, and he could only get six, and they could not knock a shake out of him. He stretched himself up on a steel harrow and did not knock any effect out of him.He is the best man I know in this part of the country.
