This was the smallest I could find in the Newton () Cotton Mills. Overseer said "She just brings her sister's dinner," but as it was only 9:30 , and as she worked as faithfully as her sister all the time I was in the mill, I judged she was a regular "helper." She looked to be 8 years old. Others there nearly as small.
