AFEW OF THE FIRST THINGS
IN PENDLET0N HISTORY

Previous to l7l6 the part Oh VIZ
ginia lying west of the Blue Ridge
was almost unknown to the white
people. and was thought to be a
most forbidding region.
The first permanent settlement
west of the Blue Ridge, was in l72I
and near the Potomac river.
Immigration west of the noun
tain was then rapid, until the In
dian War of l754-64.
The first visit Of a white man to
Pendleton appears to have been
about 1925.
The first attempt to make a
settlement on the borders of the
County, were by Robert and VIM.
Lewis, in 1927. They wished to
settle about so families on the head
waters on the Cowpasture and Bull
pasture rivers giving 1000 acres Of
land to each family. This effort
was made at too early day, and
did not succeed.
The first land patent granted
in Pendleton county, appears to
have been given in l744, to Rob-
ert Green, of Culpepper county.
| 1t was for 2464 acres of land stu
ated about Fort Seybert. Actual
settlement began within three years.
In 1853 about 60 persons were
killed Or captured at Fort Seybert
and Upper Tract. During thisper~
tiod of Indian hostility, several 9TH
er persons at various localities OF
the County, were wounded, MUIR
dered or carried away.
Franklin was designated as q
town by act of Legislature Of De-
cember 5, 1887. Earlier in the
same year, George Evick sold to
Francis Evick a tract of 100 acres
for SS33.33. This tract included
the site of the present town. The
| first recorded sale of a town lot
was to Robert Davis, in 1888, the
size of which was one-half acre, and
the consideration S16.67. He was
to build within two years a "good
house, at least l6x20 feet in size,
and furnished with a chimney of
brick or stone. Davis was also to
pay on each New Years day, a
ground rent of 33c in coin.
Harrisonburg was founded only
7 years earlier than Franklin.
Tobacco, fax and deer and rab-
bit skins were current money until
1892. The allowance to witness
for one days attendance at court,
was Is pounds Of tobacco.
The bounty on wolves has varied
from 1888 to $500. In 1896
each tithable male was required to
produce each year, 6 scalps of
squirrels or crows, or forfeit three
cents for each deficiency in the
said number.
The first county levy was for
S141.OO.
In 1898 a woman was indicted
for thrashing a sheriff and prevent
ing him from collecting her tax.
The first license for selling mer-
chandise in Franklin was granted
to Perez Drew, 1870.
In 1910 there were ten pension
ers of the War of Revolution. Thell
names and ages are as follows:

VIRGINIA To MAKE

Washington, July 5.--Vlrglnia
is making good progress IN the
movement for the preservation OF
its forests. A cooperative agree
ment for a scientific study of the
forest condition OF the State has
lust been entered into by Governor
Swanson and the United States For
est Service.
Governor Swanson is much inter-
ested in the different forest prob
lem, and enthusiastic in his desire
to improve the forest conditiong OF
the State. Last year he appointed
a commission of seven members to
investigate and consider the needs
of the State along forestry lines. In
the estimation of the Governor
there are specific and technical for
estry problems of great Importance
to be considered in this cooperative
study. The mountain forests, al
ready cut over, and the level coast
al plain, now in cultivation or in
forest growth, present q number OF
problems for investigation. The
great need in Virginia is to bring
before the farmers the Importance
of caring for and maintaining their
woodlots. In many places little or
no attention is paid to second
growth, and consequently no at
tempt is made to protect it from
fire or give it proper treatment.
1t is a common practice to cultl-
vate the land for tobacco q few
years, and then when the soil is
worn out, allow it to seed up to
pine or other tree growth. When
the land is rejuvenated, it is often
brought under cultivation again. In
this way a splendid growth of young
pines is often cleared off, when
with proper treatment and care Tor
a few years more the timber would
be of considerable commercial val
ue. These woodlots, especially on
slopes, are necessary to prevent
soil erosion.
In a letter addressed to the AS
sociate Forester, received by the
Forest Service, Governor Swanson
says:
II am deeply interested in en-
couraging the preservation of the
present forests and the growth OF
new forests within the State. From
observations it seems to me that
this State, if properly and scientifi-
cally treated, would very rapidly
reforest itself, much to the advan-
tage of the entire State and to the
profit of the owners of the soil. L
am DESTROYS of having Il scientific
examination to ascertain the best
means of accomplishing this; the
best place where new forests should
grow; the best means of preserving
them, and suggestions as to gener-
al scientific treatment. | believe
incalculable good could be done in
this State if this subject would be
taken up in broad and scientific
way. look toward with much
qualification to this work, and feel
sure the results will be very benefi-
cial to the State"
This study will begin in July,
and will be in charge of W. W.
Ashe, until recently Forester of the
North Carolina Geological Survey.
Mr.. Ashe is skilled forester, res
ident of Virginia and exceedingly
we'll informed on the forest condi-
tons of the State. Virginia and
the Fosest Service will share equal
w the cost of the examination.

This will cut Nashville out of thousands of dollars of revenue. and will force the maintenance of all the law enforcement machinery of the city upon the law abiding citizens. in- stead of upon the law breakers.
