Bi Day at Loudon.
Wednesday of next week will
be a big day at Fort Loudon. At
that time will take place the un
veiling and dedication of the mem
orial monument and marker con
secrated to the memory of the
frontiersmen who defended the
old fort against Indian marau
ders. The ceremonies will begin
at 10 o'clock and last until 3:00.
Fort Loudon (or Loudoun, as
it was then spelled) was erected
in 1756 the same year that Fort
Littleton (Lyttleton) was made,
and a year before the fort was
erected at Bedford. The old fort
was not upon the present site of
the town of Fort Loudon, but
about a mile southeast. It was
built for the protection of the
frontiers against the Indians and
took the place of the fort at Mc
Dowell's mill, which was situated
at Bridgeport. Fort Loudon was
the scene of many thrilling events
during the Indian raids into this
region. During the expedition of
General John Forbes, in 1758,
and that of Col. Henry Eouqtiet
in 17G3-G1, this fort was used as
a rendezvous for troops and as a
base of supplies. It was the
scene of the exploits of Copt.
Jame3 Smith and his "Black
Boys" in 17G5. Before the build
ing of the state road to Pitts
burgh, it was the point of depar
ture of great trains of pack hors
es, laden with goods for the west
and south.

Mrs. R- E. Peterman, Sec.
Bogs, or Sheep?
Those of our readers who take
farm papers are almost getting
tired of reading stories about
those who prefer to keep a good
dog. Some of the writers would
have us believe that the man who
loves a good dog will eventually
"go to the dogs." No one will
attempt to deny that dogs are
responsible for the disappearance
of sheep from many of our farms;
but we believe that we could have
both sheep and dogs if enough
people demanded that the own
ers of dogs keep them under con
trol. We know of men who keep
all the dogs they wish; but they
keep them in a pen with a high
wire fence around a piece of
ground large enough to permit
the dogs to romp, play and exer
cise all they want. A little house
in a corner affords a nice shelter.
These pens can be placed where
the dogs can run to the front door
of the dwelling, or to other points
of advantage if wanted for watch
dogs. Or, a long piece of fence
wire may be stretched between
two points and a ring on the end
of the dog's chain will run on the
wire and permit the animal to
run the length of the wire. It
would be a hardship to forbid the
keeping of hunting dogs in a
county like ours where a few
weeks of hunting is practically
all the sport afforded. Since un
written laws are best observed,
make it a matter of honor among
neighbors that they will never
take chances by letting their dog
have his freedom at night. Let
the man vho will not comply with
the plan feel the weight of his
neighbors' ill will for a short time
and he will soon come to the
scratch. We know of a place
where there is no statute law a
gainst the killing of doe; but
there are no does killed there be
cause to kill one would mean that
the killer might just as well pull
his stakes and freight it. His
fellow sportsmen would in a hun
dred ways make life for that man
so miserable that he would be
glad to leave the community.
The management of dogs could
be enforced in just that way.
