There appear 10 have been in the
Old Dominion during early colonial
days great number OF dogs of a mon
grel breed. the chief use Of which was
to destroy the smaller kind of animals
running wild in the woods and fields.
How valuable they were considered to
be by their owners is shown in a case
which occurred in Northampton coun-
ty about 1901 and is recorded by p. A.
Bruce in ''The Social Life OF Virginia
In the Seventeenth Century"
n complaint was lodged in the conn
ty court against Mike Dixon on the
ground that he permitted his dogs to
rush out and bark at persons passing
along the highway, which was situated
Immediately in front OF his door.
Instead of proposing to kill or re-
strain the dogs, Dixon simply petition
ed the court to have the public road
removed some distance back from his
dwelling house, because 1t was nee
essary," he declared, ito keep dogs
for the preservation OF creatures from
vermin."
The creatures" he referred to were
poultry and young pigs, and the EVER
min" were wolves. foxes, minls. pole
cats and the like.
1t is not stated whether or not his De-
tition was granted.

NEW ROAD
From Pittsburg TO BeIington
May Be Built Within the
Present Year.

Right Of way agents representing
the West Virginia Connecting RAN
road are in the held again and are
reported to have renewed options for
property south Of waynesburg that
viii be necessary to the construction
OF the proposed new line. Many Of
the options were secured more than a
year ago, When surveys were started.
Owing to the fact that a number Of
surveys have been made through
that section in recent years and there
Is no indication that the lines viii be
built property owners in some cases
have refused to give an option on
their property unless some proof is
given that the road win be built.
One reason given for this is that the
majority OF the property is owned
by coal operators, who are anxious
TO develop their holdings.
The fact that the West Virginia
Connecting is renewing its leases
shows that capitalists back Of the
new line are determined to build in
the near future. 1t was reported
that some OF the right OF way south
OF waynesburg has been purchased
outright by the company. but the
report could not be confirmed.
Plttsburg capitalists are back Of
the new project and D. f. Maroney
is the president ]. V. Thompson, Of
uniontown is said to DC one OF the
largest stockholders. The road Is
projected from Belington to Pitts
burg, the original charter providing
for line from Belington to waynes-
burg, Pa, a distance of 6S miles.
The building of this road is said
to be part of the general scheme
outlined by Mr.. Thompson and his
associates sometime ago to build a
net work OF railroads to develop rich
coal fields on account OF the failure
OF existing roads to provide facilities
10 properly handle the enormous
coal production.
