Judge Koons who lives near Port
Royal has recollection of the Indian
fort that stood on the Byron Shuman
farm near Mexico, this county. 1t
was two stories, built of closely fit
ting logs. There was a row of port
holes on each story of the four sides
Of the fort. He also remembers the
warehouse that stood on the bank of
the river from which grain was load
ed into arks and sent down the riy-
er to market. A road ran from the
fort along the fooS of Tuscarora
mountain TO Waterfordand that road
was the great highway to and from

at is astonishing says an exchange
how people recklassly impair the
working of hydrants by the manner
IN which they stop the flow of water
at such openings. The sudden,
quick closing of hydrant by which
the hammering sound is produced
does 1t more harm at each occurrence
than a months careful use can in. .
tiicc. 1t is an injury to the pipes
and faucets every time it occurs and
therefore people who indulge in il,
are expensive tenants and hard users
OF such accommodations. Careful
use of hydrsnt will maintain it in
running order for years, while the
carelessness TO which we refer will
wear 1t out in a very few months"
