WINsToN-sAtEM, N. c., Sept. 6.
There is house in the northern part
OF this county which was built during
the Revolutionary war. 1t is now as
strong and solid as the day it was
erected. 1t was built for fort for the
protection of the patriotic citizens
of that community from the Tories.
1t is constructed out of hewn logs,
which fit so perfectly that a
bullet cannot pass through the cracks.
1t is about thirty five feet long and
does not contain a single window, the
owners never allowing one to be cut. 1t
contains but one room and ventilation
and light are secured from the doors To-
Gated in each end. A Mrs. Banner now
owns and couples the house as resi-
denee She has in it two or three pieces
of furniture which are said to be over
one hundred years old. The house is
beautifully located on a knoll, about
fifty yards from the G. f. & Y. V. Rail
road, at the halfway point between
Rural Hall and Germanton.
