HENDRICK S FORT.
1 'epresentative Smith ofthis coun
ty lias introduced a hill in the leu
islnt ure to appropriate the sum 01 j
tl'iOO.OO lor the purchase of Uen-
drick's Fort near Kreamer and i
tir it in a orood state lor preserve-
i o
atton. 1 Ins is Snyder t ounty s oniy
relic left of colonial times, and it is
as important in state history as the
nilt-. the slate has already marked
and what she proposes to mark not even life to Bwainp-Koot and Hums
exeeotina Port Auirustaat8unbury, more can be made well who to-
which, too. needs some attention
from the present body ol ieigSlators.
We congratulate Dr. Smith upon
tins move and trust he w ill not re
linquish the fight until the appn -priation
is put through. The tort
is rapidly decaying anil mv
prompt action is taken the elements
will rob us of an irreparable loss.
( )nc. thing more should re
the attention ol our representative
along this same line of work. Dr.
Egle in his last report of the State
library, made the recommendation
that this session td the legislature
should pass a law authorizing Coun
ty Commissioners to appropriate a
sum not to exceed lS00 annual I
to the well established County His
torical Societies, which through their
members make certain contributions
torthe purpose o I gathering material
for the preservation ol the County's
history. Every paper published in
this county should be preserved and
hound : much local historical material
should be collected and preserved
and the entire county should assist
in defraying such an expense. With
out this help, much local history
will be lost, and we hope to find our
representative and our senatorwork
iug for the passage of suchameasure.
