A Few Things About Our Homi
TownThree
year* after the old ltbcrl;
bell rung out the glad tiding* of it
dependence, the few quaint cottage
near the Tar were given the nam
they now proudly bear. In yer
early time* in French History it w*
made a law that women should nc
aeeend; the throne in France,
what was called the Salic law was I
full fOfoe for ages until the' time c
the celebrated Maria Theresa <
Austria. She was engaged in wi
^Between England and France,
town on Cape Breton Islahd call*
Louiaburg fall jnto the hands'of th
English. This T happened aboi
1746, imt so very long before tl
settlement ef this town.
The town was chartered by an a
of the General Assembly, April 1
1779. One hundred acres1 on tt
north side of the river, Taw, as tl
Indiana then called it, was obtains
in. u.i... ..j ...
that the commleeioners reserved foi
lota from thia one hondred aeree fi
churches and aohoola.
Although thia old story haa be*
handed dawn for a gee, there
another oeneerning the eohool le
of wbiah we are Bow ao proe
There waa onee a generous gecrt
man whe lived here?I know he w;
thia by his noble gift^aed onstiata
donations to the then atraggiit
hamlet?a Colonel Briekie who bi
stowed upon the oemmnnity for ei
uoational porpoaae only, the t?
beautiful groves in the aortbei
part of town, oontaiaing elev*
acres or more. The manner
whioh the land wgs given, aeeur*
the possibility for Loulsburg to ha'
good schools perpetually in tho
noble groves. Whether Colon
Briokle really gave the lend, or tl
commissioners reserved it, I do n
know. - It ie thought by some tb
the honor has descended with Cc
onel Brickle'a name as he was regi
\ ter of deeds at tho time of the pu
chase of the land.
Ttiehundreth ' I irthday of_ tl
town waa eslebrated In 1879.
We are all prbudof the fact tb
the Firat Confederate Flag was ui
^furled in front of the preskni Coo
Vnouae. It was designed and tnai
by a Franklin county boy, Mr. <
K Smith. The firat Coeterenee .
the Methodist Church ever held
America, met in the Green H
Ilouee to the Southwest of Loui
burg, April 20, 1785. The Meth
dist Conference was divided in tl
residence of Dr. O. L. Ellis.
The college, then sailed the Sea
nary, was the camp of the Yank
soldiers during the Confederate wi
and the old Academy to the rear
tne Graded School, is cat by bull
holes in several places. These we
made by the Yankees, in a litt
skirmish during their stay hare,
is also interesting to know that t
Academy is the third school hou
built between the chimneys nc
standing. And who has not se
the pioturesque rocks, a natural ot
osity, called "Lovers Leap"
beautiful legend is attached to t
name. During the French and I
dian war, a gallant, aristocratic, R
glieh cavalry officer waa passir
through here. He mej, a beautil
country maiden and was captivat
by her rnatic oharraa. Becomii
daily more and more in love wi
her, he delayed his departure, j
last hirduties bade him leave hi
knowing* that his higher social poi
tion would never allow him to w
her, against the wishes ot ber pi
elite, who recognized their inferi
social rank, the lovers met for a li
fend, farewell. After staying aw
"for a short while and finds he oou
not live without her* the Englishm
decided to give up wealth and til
for the girl whom he loved. E
the parents of the maiden, stem
^^rbade the lover's meeting. At li
^Bowing desperate they planned
elandeatige meeting at the roe
now oalled "Lovers Leap." Th
then and there decided to die togel
er, and witE one mad leap they wi
dashed to pieces beneath the high<
projecting rooks. Their blood,
the legend ' goes, has stained t
rooks from that day to this.
The residence at Mrs. Maria H<
ton waa the old home of Patew
Milaer. The springe to the rear
her hem?j for yean wore known
